I use kernel 2.6.31.8-0.1-desktop (OpenSuSE 11.2) and tried several versions of FW. lspci gives: Network controller: Intersil Corporation ISL3890 [Prism GT/Prism Duette]/ISL3886 [Prism Javelin/Prism Xbow] (rev 01) The card is working with prism54 driver and on my dual boot Windows XP. modprobe p54pci gives (in /var/log/messages): p54pci 0000:05:01.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 19 p54pci 0000:05:01.0: firmware: requesting isl3886pci phy2: p54 detected a LM86 firmware p54: rx_mtu reduced from 3240 to 2376 phy2: FW rev 2.17.2.0 - Softmac protocol 7.6 phy2: cryptographic accelerator WEP:YES, TKIP:YES, CCMP:YES phy2: device does not respond! p54pci 0000:05:01.0: PCI INT A disabled p54pci: probe of 0000:05:01.0 failed with error -16 With every modprobe try phyx is incremented by 1.
