vation: 
1) it try to load the driver 2 times (dunno why)
2) doesn't wo=
rk the first nor the second :D

here is all what i did before trying to=
 modprobe:

1) got kernel source ver 2.4.23
1b) printed the readme and=
 learn by heart it.
2) got prism54 patch from
http://www.prism54.org/pu=
b/linux/snapshot/kernel/v2.4/2003-12/patch-2.4.23-prism54-cvs20031204.bz2=

3) got latest hotplug packet from sourceforge
4) got firmware.agent fr=
om prism54.org and put it in /etc/hotplug/
4b) got firmware isl3890 and =
put it in /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware
5) loaded the patch with: bzip2 -cd =
/root/patch-2.4.23-prism54-cvs20031204.bz2 |
patch -p1 in the kernel sou=
rce directory (/usr/src/linux)
6) configured kernel with pcmcia support,=
 prism54 card support as module and
firmware hotplug support as module t=
oo
7) installed new kernel and rebooted
8) modprobe firmware_class -> o=
k!
9) modprobe prism54 -> error reported at the top
