Hi, I am a user who is having trouble getting Prism54 to work. The webpage[1] for Linux wireless said to ask on this list so here I am. Hardware: D-Link DWL-G122 rev. A1 OS: Fedora 11 x86_64 Kernel: 2.6.29.4-167.fc11.x86_64 I had this working under F10 flawlessly with kernel 2.6.27. But since I have upgraded to F11 it has stopped working. I have used the appropriate firmware as mentioned in [1]. After I put the firmware in /lib/firmware, modprobe prism54 and reboot, I get this. $ dmesg|grepp 54 phy0: p54 detected a LM86 firmware p54: rx_mtu reduced from 3240 to 2392 p54usb: probe of 2-1:1.0 failed with error -16 usbcore: registered new interface driver p54usb $ dmesg |grep prism Loaded prism54 driver, version 1.2 $ lsmod |grep p54 p54usb 14624 0 p54common 20820 1 p54usb mac80211 199552 2 p54usb,p54common $ dmesg |grep isl usb 2-1: firmware: requesting isl3886usb My kernel is configured like this, prism54: │ Symbol: PRISM54 [=m] │ Prompt: Intersil Prism GT/Duette/Indigo PCI/Cardbus │ Defined at drivers/net/wireless/Kconfig:375 │ Depends on: NETDEVICES && !S390 && PCI && EXPERIMENTAL && WLAN_80211 │ Location: │ -> Device Drivers │ -> Network device support (NETDEVICES [=y]) │ -> Wireless LAN │ -> Wireless LAN (IEEE 802.11) (WLAN_80211 [=y]) │ Selects: WIRELESS_EXT && FW_LOADER p54: │ Symbol: P54_USB [=m] │ Prompt: Prism54 USB support │ Defined at drivers/net/wireless/p54/Kconfig:14 │ Depends on: NETDEVICES && !S390 && P54_COMMON && USB │ Location: │ -> Device Drivers │ -> Network device support (NETDEVICES [=y]) │ -> Wireless LAN │ -> Wireless LAN (IEEE 802.11) (WLAN_80211 [=y]) │ -> Softmac Prism54 support (P54_COMMON [=m]) │ Selects: CRC32 │ Symbol: P54_COMMON [=m] │ Prompt: Softmac Prism54 support │ Defined at drivers/net/wireless/p54/Kconfig:1 │ Depends on: NETDEVICES && !S390 && MAC80211 && WLAN_80211 && FW_LOADE │ Location: │ -> Device Drivers │ -> Network device support (NETDEVICES [=y]) │ -> Wireless LAN │ -> Wireless LAN (IEEE 802.11) (WLAN_80211 [=y]) │ Symbol: P54_PCI [=m] │ Prompt: Prism54 PCI support │ Defined at drivers/net/wireless/p54/Kconfig:51 │ Depends on: NETDEVICES && !S390 && P54_COMMON && PCI │ Location: │ -> Device Drivers │ -> Network device support (NETDEVICES [=y]) │ -> Wireless LAN │ -> Wireless LAN (IEEE 802.11) (WLAN_80211 [=y]) │ -> Softmac Prism54 support (P54_COMMON [=m]) Now when I use the _old_ _firmware_ (the firmware I used with F10 and kernel 2.6.27) and rename it from isl3890usb to isl3886usb, I am able to connect to but only for less than a minute. This Is what I get when using the firmware for 2.6.27. $ dmesg |grep p54 phy0: p54 detected a LM86 firmware phy0: you are using an obsolete firmware. visit http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/p54 and grab one for "kernel >= 2.6.28"! wmaster0 (p54usb): not using net_device_ops yet wlan0 (p54usb): not using net_device_ops yet usbcore: registered new interface driver p54usb $ lsmod |grep prism prism54 53352 0 The other messages are same as above. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks for any help on this. [1] http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/p54 -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
