=Getting your Libertas Boot2 Firmware Version=

* Install lsusb (in fedora, that would be 'yum install usbutils')
* run 'lsusb -v'
* Look for your Marvell device, it should have these attributes:

  idVendor           0x1286 
  idProduct          0x2001 
  bcdDevice           31.02

* The boot2 firmware version is the 'bcdDevice' field


=Flashing from 3102 -> 3104=

* Get root
* ''rmmod usb8xxx''
* ''insmod /path/to/usb8xxx.ko MfgFW=usb8388mfg.bin  MfgUpdateBoot2=Boot2_Mfg_3104.img
'' * Wait until the insmod command exits
* '''Reboot Now'''

If the insmod keeps running for a long time, say, more than 5 minutes, the process is hung and you will need to reboot and try again.

=Flashing from 3104 -> 3102=

* Get root
* ''rmmod usb8xxx''
* ''insmod /path/to/usb8xxx.ko UpdateBoot2=Boot2_Mfg_3102.img''
* Wait until the insmod command exits
* '''Reboot Now'''

''Note that the command to back-flash is different than the command to forward-flash''
