Hi!

After starting to flash a new firmware using ACU, my machine immediately
froze. Now the card gives me a "firmware checksum error" (2 second pause,
3 blinks), and the linux driver says "can't enable MAC".

The cisco docs say that one should re-flash the firmware in that case,
however, since the driver doesn't load properly under linux, I can't start
acu.

Under windows, the symptoms are the same: the driver detects the card,
installs itself but acu says "no radio found".

I then downloaded the dos utilities (as recommended by previous posts) and
tried:

   pflashv~1 -bisa -p2000 fw.img
 
This outputs a single "3" every two seconds, but otherwise doesn't do
anything (other values of -p give me "no card found", under windows 98,
the card is registered to ports 0x2000-0x203f).

Is there a way to resurrect this card? The bootblock seems to be ok
(differnet blink code?), so...

Thanks a lot in advance.
