My laptop with wireless is at work now, but this was the kernel log
when I tried without the correct p54 firmware name:

p54pci 0000:09:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16
p54pci 0000:09:00.0: setting latency timer to 64
p54pci 0000:09:00.0: firmware: requesting isl3886
0000:09:00.0 (p54pci): cannot find firmware (isl3886)
p54pci 0000:09:00.0: PCI INT A disabled
p54pci: probe of 0000:09:00.0 failed with error -2
Loaded prism54 driver, version 1.2
prism54 0000:09:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16

(I later got rid of prism54 for fear of a conflict.  I didn't
actually confirm that prism54 worked, but it didn't complain, and it
was working ok in the past.)

Thanks; if we get stuck here it will be worth a try.
