Thanks Dan, I've tried http://dev.laptop.org/pub/firmware/libertas/usb8388-5.220.11.p5.bin as I thought that would be the latest as it has the highest point release. It fails with: root@node1-1:/usr/lib/hotplug/firmware# modprobe usb8xxx root@node1-1:/usr/lib/hotplug/firmware# dmesg -c ieee80211: 802.11 data/management/control stack, 1.2.18 ieee80211: Copyright (C) 2004-2005 Intel Corporation <jketreno@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> usb8xxx: URB in failure status: -71 usb 4-1: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5 usb 4-1: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5 usb 4-1: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5 usb 4-1: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5 usb 4-1: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5 usb 4-1: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5 usb 4-1: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5 usb 4-1: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5 usb 4-1: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5 usb 4-1: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5 usb 4-1: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5 usb8xxx: probe of 4-1:1.0 failed with error -12 usbcore: registered new interface driver usb8xxx I wasn't sure if the latest dated firmware was the one I should have used so I tried it: http://dev.laptop.org/pub/firmware/libertas/usb8388-5.110.20.p0.bin but I then get: root@node1-1:/usr/lib/hotplug/firmware# modprobe usb8xxx root@node1-1:/usr/lib/hotplug/firmware# dmesg -c ieee80211_crypt: registered algorithm 'NULL' ieee80211: 802.11 data/management/control stack, 1.2.18 ieee80211: Copyright (C) 2004-2005 Intel Corporation <jketreno@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> usb8xxx: URB in failure status: -71 usb 4-1: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5 usb 4-1: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5 usb 4-1: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5 usb 4-1: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5 usb 4-1: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5 usb 4-1: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5 usb 4-1: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5 usb 4-1: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5 usb 4-1: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5 usb 4-1: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5 usb 4-1: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5 usb8xxx: probe of 4-1:1.0 failed with error -12 usbcore: registered new interface driver usb8xxx Do I have to perhaps update the firmware on the device first? I saw instruction on how to do this for some devices with a higher bcdDevice number but not for this old one. I also am not sure where to get the files the wiki entry mentioned on doing this.
