Thank you for your response;

The specs on this card are as follows:
  http://www.xterasys.com/sxg600.htm

This says that it uses the Prism GT chipset, interestingly in the 2.4.21
kernel this pci id is listed as a Dlink 650G

That PCI ID is not supported. If for sure you know it does use one of =
the
prism54 chipset let us know and we will add support. If you want to take
the risk and try to see if it works with the driver off bat, you can =
just
add support yourself. You can see how to do this by reading on the old
package:

ISL3890-0.1.0/applied-patches/3com-6001.patch

You can modify that file, save that file to say, xg600-17cf-0014.patch =
and
then just apply it.

You subscribe to prism54-users@prism54.org ;)
