..er.. whats an ELF header or minix filesytem look like ? 
 
I've used hexdump to look for gzip header and tried to mount sections of file 
after dd'ing bits of it, but dealing with bits of unspecified binary is a bit 
like swimming in mud for me.  Its certainly not as easy as  
http://en.tldp.org/HOWTO/Linksys-Blue-Box-Router-HOWTO/x118.html 
makes it sound! 
 
Any how last bit.. I couldn't find any other term types vt100 wyse50 .. but 
found the string 'prism2sta_cs.o'.  The same firmware is used for a wireless 
ap/adsl router they make.  The prism driver is from http://www.linux-wlan.org/
