Hi Christian,
I just upgraded to kernel 2.6.29 so I could give this another try.
Unfortunately the error is still unchanged. Here's the basic info
again:

With the 2.13.12.0 firmware, here is the kernel output:

p54pci 0000:0a:00.0: PCI INT A disabled
p54pci: probe of 0000:0a:00.0 failed with error -16
This is essentially the same as before (kernel 2.6.28).

I tried this, but the driver is not loading correctly. The last time
I used it was two or three years ago. There could be a genuine problem
with my card, but I saw similar reports on the net which suggest to me
there might be a problem with the old prism54 in recent kernels.
What I need to do is see if this card is working in Windows, but, I
don't own a copy and in any case I'm not willing to go through the pain
of putting it on this machine. It would be a big help to know if there
are any confirmed reports of p54 working with this particular PCI
card. If someone else is having success I would suspect the problem is
my hardware.
Regards,
Mark
