It depends on the type of card. If you have the old version of this card (only one aerial jack on the back of the card) it works much better with the old firmware (1.10) if you have two aerial jacks then the 1.20 firmware should work fine.

If you have an old card then copy in the 1.10 firmware into the directory and make the 1.20 firmware a link to the 1.10 firmware. This should work fine. By the way the old firmware works with the new cards as well (at one point I had both on my machine).
