prism54 firmware cannot initialize pcmcia card

prism54 firmware cannot initialize pcmcia card

[Dave]

First, some generic info about the laptop I'm using

gentoo kernel-2.6.29
prism54-firmware-2.13.2 (listed as working with in-kernel >=2.6.29 driver)
yenta_cardbus driver

Everything seems to work. The driver is loaded, the card is recognized, the
driver requests the correct firmware name, then the firmware seems to have
issues initializing the card. I have posted the relevant entries in dmesg to
http://pastebin.com/f7514c9c0

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Regards,
Dave

You are using p54 softmac firmware with the old fullmac prism54
driver. You can now use the p54 softmac driver. See:
