       -m <haddr> (macaddr)

EXAMPLES
       Review card status:
	 prism2dl -s wlan0

       Load a new PDA:
	 prism2dl -p pdafile.txt wlan0
	or
	 prism2dl -p pdafile.txt -a pda1.txt -a pda2.txt wlan0

	 Note  that  the  f/w  images will most likely contain bogus plug info
       after
	 rewriting the PDA by itself.  It is generally recommended  to	reload
       the
	 primage and secondary images at the same time as modifying the PDA.

       Load a FLASH image _and_ PDA:
	 prism2dl  -p  pdafile.txt  -f CIS.hex -f primary.hex -f secondary.hex
       wlan0

       Load a RAM image:
	 prism2dl -a pda1.txt -r tertiary.hex

       Note: PDA records are additive starting with the records from the card
	  OR the records from the -p specified file.  -a specified file(s)
	  overwrite, append, or remove records one at a time.  If multiple
	  files are specified using the -a option, the files are processed
	  from left to right.  This implies that a record removed from the
	  current working PDA may then be added again by a record that
	  appears after the "remove" record in the file set.
