Well if what lincomatic is saying is true... and it seems like it, then since this is not a "firmware" that can't be changed and is inherent to the hardware version of the card, we can't use the theory that if someone could figure out how to "upgrade" to version 4.02 or 4.04... Because I would think the "Card Version" will always stay fixed at version 4.00
I have to agree that the key to all this LIES IN the FLASH EPROM area (PDA or elsewhere) AND NOT THE ACTUAL FIRMWARE... I know I read somewhere else on the internet that there was yet ANOTHER way to upgrade the cards by plugging the silvers into some Orinoco AP series access point which would cause a BIT to be changed thereby enabling 128bit encryption... It said nothing about the firmware being changed, but rather a flag/bit in the flash area being changed... I think that's what we are seeing here with this flash hack that's posted here... HOWEVER the problem is WHY Card version 4.00 is giving the error 322....
Here's a thought... Have you guys heard about the XBOX IDE hard drives that are also compatible for use with PCs but ONLY if they are "unlocked" using a special password unlock procedure that must be done on the original XBOX that the drive comes out of. If you dont have access to the original XBOX there is no way to unlock it because there is a unique password/key associated with the drive, its actually part of the ATA IDE spec... I dont think these cards are using this kind of "password" protection but is it a possible analogy?

On the other hand, my gold card, whose PDA is writable has Primary FW 4.04 and Card 4.02.
So I think the problem is Card version 4.00, not Primary FW 4.00.
Does anyone else see what I'm seeing?
