: However (as Oleg Polyakov suggested), this still won't work because

Yes.  That's who I saw say something also.

: wi0: timeout in wi_cmd 0x0000; event status 0x0000
: wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear: init failed
: device_probe_and_attach: wi0 attach returned 6

Any other messages?

Not currently as such.  There's a primitive loader in the driver right
now to deal with the symbol cards that need firmware uploaded to
them.  Also, the prism2_srec tool is generally for flashing new
firmware, not RAM images (well, I should go look at it again, since
I've not looked at it in a while).
