i tried the following firmwares:
2.4.4.0.arm  2.4.6.0.arm
2.5.11.0.arm 2.5.6.0.arm 2.5.2.0.arm 2.7.0.0.arm
All give the same dmesg output, (HC died; cleaning up)
except 2.5.8.0.arm which gives something else, probably not worth much, 
but nevertheless see attachment

In the very beginning I used ndiswrapper without any problem (still 
works now), but at the moment i'm using the old islsm driver together
with kernel 2.6.9 and firmware 2.5.6.0 (only one that works), which 
doesn't seem to be on the site you mentioned
md5sum:
6ff238179cf9618aac2b5d7a34e41450  2.5.6.0.arm (is included for what it 
is worth)
So i've been stuck at kernel 2.6.9 for some time now as islsm doesn't 
compile with newer kernels :-) p54usb should be a relatively straight 
port from islsm yes ? except for the control rate algorithm and some 
cleaning up i guess.

ps: thanks for the effort.
ps2: firmware 2.5.7.0 isn't on site too:  
09f9da7ea757173c9de1a0322a1f9782  2.7.0.0.arm

kind regards,
