Hi Folks,
 
i want to use an Corega WLUSB2GTST USB adapter on my Raspberry Pi linux device. I used fwextract utility with the driver file (Windows 2000 driver, nobyteswap option). So i got these 2 files:
 
cgwlusb200.arm
cgwlusb201.arm
 
I have copied these files (i tried cgwlusb200.arm also cgwlusb201.arm) to the following location on my Raspberry Pi:
 
/lib/firmware/isl3887usb
/lib/modules/3.6.11+/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/isl3887usb
 
After doing a modprobe p54usb, the module seems to load fine:

Everything looks fine - but no wlan0 device will be created :-( The led on the stick will not turn on, so i think i have a driver problem.

How can i debug / solve this problem?!?

I think I found the driver. It's a generic firmware, but it's really old (pre 2.7.0.0).
You should go to <http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/p54> and get the latest
one from there for your device (isl3887usb > 2.6.29).

This should be the right location and filename for the firmware.

I can't find this device-id in the p54u_table. Did you add it manually?

Is this output cropped? p54usb announces which firmware file it requests.
Furthermore, In your case you should have seen something like this in dmesg:
"wrong firmware, please get a firmware for "isl3887usb" and try again."

Looks like the firmware on the device crashed. You should physically disconnect and 
reconnect the stick before trying again.

The same shit, it seems like p54usb doesn't provide support for this Corega 
wi-fi stick. If you'd have done modinfo p54usb you could see that there's 
no corega's vendor and device code among available aliases, the only one 
Corega device listed is 07aa:001C (your Corega WLUSB2GTST has device id 
07aa:0020), but it uses different ISL chip.
