Description

```
I used extract-firmware.sh on this file:
http://www.win-star.com/download/drivers/fireware/11-WN523N2-B1_W8_standard_MRE2
-B1.344..20130809.Nohw_fwc.bin

It extracted everything correctly.

When I use build-firmware.sh without modifying anything I get the following
error
Firmware header not supported; firmware checksums may be incorrect.

Also I am not able to upgrade the firmware with the new firmware.bin that was
created.

```

Research direction

Start by reproducing the report with the linked firmware file using extract-firmware.sh and build-firmware.sh, then inspect where the unsupported-header warning is produced. Compare the generated firmware.bin with the original extraction results. Done means the unchanged firmware rebuilds without the warning and can be used for the reported upgrade.
