I'm trying to determine the firmware version of my wireless card in a 
Thinkpad R32.  What I've found on-line is as follows:

> Use hostap_diag wlan0

> NICID: id=0x8013 v1.0.0 (PRISM II (2.5) Mini-PCI (SST parallel flash))
> PRIID: id=0x0015 v1.1.0
> STAID: id=0x001f v1.4.9 (station firmware)
>
> Or check with dmesg:

>
> wlan0: NIC: id=0x8013 v1.0.0
> wlan0: PRI: id=0x15 v1.1.0
> wlan0: STA: id=0x1f v1.4.9
But neither of these work.  hostap_diag is not a recognized command and 
dmesg doesn't return anything about wlan0.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks.

Stan
