some more info: I ran flash -5v -s on my silver w/ 8.10 firmware and it says the firmware is S1081000.HEX. My gold card, which also has 8.10 firmware loaded also says S1081000.HEX. Looking into WSU810, it has the following strings: P104000.HEX and S10810000.HEX. Therefore, I'm still not convinced that the firmware is different between silver and gold. My guess is that the firmware is identical, and that there are other bits, either in the PDA (as we've seen) or alternatively in some unknown flash mem address which enable the 128-bit WEP behavior (this would explain why cards updated via Apple would have 128-bit support w/o PDA changes).
