[MLB-WIRELESS] FLASH ENTRASYS CARDS at Friday meet??

[Chris Drake]

I would have to agree. DON'T bother flashing your cards. Unless you are going 
to use an open source operating system (linux, freebsd ect.) because it will 
have an impact on the card. You really should read the crap about flashing 
cards on both the lucent and enterasys cards. to sum it up. The software 
drivers (win9x ect. != open source drivers) load a temp firmware into the rom 
of the card. So if you have version 8.10 client you should have a 8.10 
'firmware'. But in an open source operating system there is no firmware being 
sent into the card therefore the firmware which is in the flash rom of the 
card will load and be put into the rom of the card.
