[Aironet] Doing a safe firmware upgrade...?

[Theo P. <T.P...@cs...>]

Hi Gavin,

  just a minor question...how do you do your firmware upgrade for the PC4800. 
Do you do it under NT, 98, 95, Dos?.. which one is a reliable in terms of OS 
failure method...during your upgrade trials..

I have firm ver.1.40 and driver 2.67 under NT I want to jump to 3.10 so that I 
can try and check some weird behaviour in interop between Lucent and Aironet 
during 2 Mbps connectivity.



Thanks


Theo
