BTW, on a related matter I had trouble getting my laptop's prism54 card working when trying FC4T3 on it. As usual, I had to install, then throw the binary firmware into /lib/firmware and then I _would_ have expected the card to "just work" on insertion. But it didn't. I had to play around to get it recognized at all. First, the system just ignored the card on insert for whatever reason. Can someone tell me how this is _supposed_ to work? Having to install the binary myself is bad enough (yes, I know the politics around this so I won't start a debate over that *g*), but I'd expect it to work then... am I asking too much?
