What firmware are you using? This is my card: # lspci -nn (...) 00:02.0 Network controller [0280]: Intersil Corporation ISL3890 [Prism GT/Prism Duette]/ISL3886 [Prism Javelin/Prism Xbow] [1260:3890] (rev 01) According to http://prism54.org/newdrivers.html, my card is among the supported devices, and I should use version 2.7.0.0 for PCI devices firmware: PCI Vendor (hex) PCI Product (hex) Common name 1260 3890 Generic ISL3890 It doesn't work and says "Your card/socket may be faulty, or IRQ line too busy". With 2.7.0.0 firmware, it doesn't say "out of memory" anymore. Are there more things to be done to make this card work? -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org
