hmm? there are lots of new & old firmwares. what chip do you have? a ISL3886 + net2280 or a ISL3887?
you can get the firmware version from dmesg, just load the
driver and grep for "p54: FW rev"

my devices: isl3880 minipci: 2.7.0.0 (best supported) & 2.13.1.0 (unstable) isl3887 usb: 2.5.8.0(bugs), 2.6.16.0(DELL bugs) and 2.13.2.0 (WIP)

From dmesg:

firmware: requesting isl3887usb_bare
p54: LM86 firmware
p54: FW rev 2.5.8.0 - Softmac protocol 3.0

I think this shows that I have an ISL3887. As further confirmation, it uses routine p54u_tx_3887() to transmit. Are the bugs in 2.5.8.0 and 2.6.16.0 described on the Web? My device is a Dell DW1450.

The 2-3 hour disconnect is still present with the sequence number patch reverted and the MTU at 1300. Still testing.
