I've tryed to flash my compaq wl100 cards with the actiontec utility. even for a diffent manufacter, the actiontec utiliity proceded, and the flash operation was sucessful.

However, the card stop working both in linux and in windows! and i cant revert to the previous firmware because the card isn't detected in windows!
