smi is a Self-Mounting Image and can only be read on a Mac.

What part of the firmware do you want? The Base Station or the card?  If
you want it for the card and do not have a Mac you should just grab the
standard Orinoco firmware and use a PC.

For the Base Station you must have the Admin Utility on a Mac.  If you can
borrow someone's PowerBook for a while that's all you need :)
