(this worked for my MA401/MA301 combo...) I used the WinUpdate flash utility found in dwl650_firmware_8c2.exe (can get it from dlink...the link I found was here: ftp://ftp.dlink.com/Wireless/DWL650/Firmware/dwl650_firmware_8c2.exe (you only want the utility and *not* the firmare included in it). I got the firmare for my card from netgate at http://www.netgate.com/support/prism_firmware/1.4.9.zip I found out about this from reading http://hostap.epitest.fi/hostap/2002-08/1701.html and http://hostap.epitest.fi/hostap/2002-07/1379.html (Make sure you use the correct firmware...read the accompanying documentation...)
