Hi,

with kernel 2.6.0-test11 and the latest prism54 from CVS I can bring up
my SMC2802, but it shows

    # iwconfig eth2
    eth2      PRISM Duette/GT  ESSID:"my essid"  
              Mode:Ad-Hoc  Channel:6  Cell: 00:00:00:00:00:00  
              Sensitivity=0  
              Retry min limit:0   RTS thr=0 B   Fragment thr=0 B   
              Encryption key:FFFF-FFFF-FFFF-FFFF-FFFF-FFFF-FF   Security mode:restricted
              Link Quality:0  Signal level:0  Noise level:0
              Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
              Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

so it seems that Cell == 00.. is wrong. I'm running debian unstable with
the appropriate packages (hotplug / iwconfig) installed. The card worked
with 2.6.0-test10 and the prism54 driver of about 2 - 3 weeks ago. After
bringing up the driver, dmesg shows:

    # dmesg
    Loaded prism54 driver, version 1.0.2.2
    eth2: uploading firmware...
    eth2: firmware uploaded done, now triggering reset...
    eth2: prism54_mib_init()
    eth2: islpci_open()
    eth2: resetting device...
    eth2: uploading firmware...

for completeness, here is what lspci shows:

    # lspci -vv

I've ACPI turned OFF!
Would be nice, if I could get the card functional again ;-)
