Firmware 3.3.2 should work on the JS20 daughtercard.  You should use
FW with the same memory timings as the full-height "Cougar" PCI-X
card, not the half-height "Cougar Cub."

Also, the tvflash from https://openib.org/svn/gen2/trunk/src/userspace/tvflash
should work on ppc64 and ia64 -- I have used it to update firmware on
a JS20, in fact.  What goes wrong when you try?
