DWL 520 E-rev firmware?

According to the linux-wlan-ng pre18a README, the E revision comes with no firmware on the card, all gets loaded at install.
Any idea where to get the firmware image?
I have the ubiquitous Win* stuff on the CD.

The firmware is availible here. I don't recommend using that driver though. HostAP works much better on prism based cards and the HostAp Utils include firmware uploading tools.

I don't see any references to SSF there.
Is the NicID string returned from IfConfig?
From hwconf I have:
vendorId: 1260
deviceId: 3873
subVendorId: 1186
subDeviceId: 3700

....but no place to reference them

OK, think I've got it now, found references to these on the HostAP site.
pm010102.hex,rf010800.hex
Will try and see.

Thank you.
