I understand.=20

However, if anybody is curious, I managed to extract the firmware from
the PRISMA00.sys file, by following the steps illustrated on
http://prism54.org/pipermail/prism54-devel/2004-February/000695.html
I ended up the same dead end anyway,but with these numbers with
firmware version 2.4.3.5 in the .sys file.
offset:0x09c0 =3D 2496
size =3D 0x6e78 =3D 28280

I have now saved the file as 2.4.3.5.arm and with the patch I
suggested previously I can load it by renaming it to 'isl3886', so I
am ready to test. But as you say, Luis, I need support from the
driver.

If you can give me exact names of make and model for PCI/PCMCIA cards
that contains PCIID 0280:3886 chip, I will consider donate some of
these to you to speed up the development of the prism54 driver, until
then I use the linuxant driverloader which seems to work without problems.
