lucent roms

Hi,

I've modified the lucent 810 code to flash my compaq wl110 and it works with nfp. But I have a feeling that the firmware this utility reprograms is the station code, which is responsable for chatting to the wlan chipset etc. I think the actual station code is loaded by the driver of the operating system in question.

I dont think the mac address or region details can be adjusted easily. I put out a request on the N/S hardware forum for a broken lucent card, with the aim of removing the flash chip and stuffing it in a reader and making a rom dump available etc, but I've not had any takers.

If 'we' could get hold of such a dump, along with details of the card it came from, such as mac and region etc, then we could make a start on looking for the code in the rom.

Of course, it would be simple to compare the rom image from the firmware update tool with a rom dump to see what bits of the rom do what.

does any of that make sense????

regards,

Paul.
