I'm not sure what you mean by "firmware on your website", but the
file you attached does not match what is linked here:
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/p54#firmware
In the command-lines pasted below, 2.13.12.0.arm is the file downloaded
through the link for "PCI / PCMCIA" for kernels 2.6.29 and above at
the URL above and isl3886pci is the file you attached to your email
by that same name.
/tmp
[linville-t400.local]:> ls -l isl3886pci 2.13.12.0.arm
-rw-rw-r-- 1 linville linville 29036 2010-02-23 09:39 2.13.12.0.arm
-rw------- 1 linville linville 29040 2010-02-23 09:39 isl3886pci
/tmp
[linville-t400.local]:> cmp 2.13.12.0.arm isl3886pci
2.13.12.0.arm isl3886pci differ: byte 5, line 1
If you use the specified firmware, does the device work for you?
