Hi Michael,

We cannot use this driver as a solution because we need a driver that can
detect the old firmware and flash the card to the new firmware. However, I
will try the driver that comes with PB on a card that has already been
flashed.

I have found that including the firmware in the binary image as an array of
(500K) bytes is what is causing the problem. We have separated it out into a
data file and load it using NdisOpenFile and it seems to be working well.
Like I said before, this problem is only seen with Q4 QFEs.

Cheers
Danny
