kern_memstart is not there in the mkfwimage I am using but I thing that
should be fine.

fwiw, I am using Adrian's

http://freebsd-wifi-build.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/


Trying rest of the things with XS2 and still getting the same result:

ar7240> urescue
Setting default IP 192.168.1.20
Starting TFTP server...

Waiting for connection: /
Receiving file from 192.168.1.254:42436

Firmware check failed! (-2)

Here is the image I generated just for reference:
