[Prism54-users] WG511 prism54 driver installation on Fedora Core 1

[dhobner@ideorlando.org]

I rebooted my system and now the modules are loaded:

prism54                59792   0  (unused)
firmware_class          6060   0  [prism54]

Now when I plug in the card the tail -f /var/log/messages:

Dec 16 08:56:25 ntclap1 kernel: cs: cb_alloc(bus 7): vendor 0x1260, device
0x3890
Dec 16 08:56:25 ntclap1 kernel: PCI: Enabling device 07:00.0 (0000 -> 0002)
Dec 16 08:56:25 ntclap1 cardmgr[3707]: socket 1: CardBus hotplug device
Dec 16 08:56:25 ntclap1 pci.agent[7256]: missing kernel or user mode
driver prism54
Dec 16 08:56:26 ntclap1 devlabel: devlabel service started/restarted

Not sure what the "missing kernel or user mode driver prism54" means.

>
> 1. Create the directory for the firmware and download it:
>
> mkdir -p /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware
> cd /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware
> wget http://prism54.org/firmware/isl3890
>
> 2. Download the firmware-agent script for hotplug (and don't forget to
> make it executable...):
>
> cd /etc/hotplug
> wget http://prism54.org/~hvr/firmware.agent
> chmod a+x firmware.agent
>
> 3. Grab a CVS-tarball of Prism54 and "make" it:
>
> cd /tmp
> wget
> http://prism54.org/pub/linux/snapshot/tars/2003-12/prism54-cvs20031216.tar.bz2
> tar xjvf prism54-cvs20031216.tar.bz2
> cd /usr/src/linux-2.4
> make menuconfig
> Select exit
> Select yes to save new kernel configuration
> cd /tmp/prism54-cvs20031216
> make modules
> make install
>
> 4. Tail the /var/log/messages file and plug in the WG511 card
>
> tail -f /var/log/messages
> Dec 16 08:07:33 localhost kernel: cs: cb_alloc(bus 3): vendor 0x1260,
> device 0x3890
> Dec 16 08:07:33 localhost kernel: PCI: Enabling device 03:00.0 (0000 ->
> 0002)
> Dec 16 08:07:33 localhost cardmgr[3780]: socket 0: CardBus hotplug device
> Dec 16 08:07:33 localhost pci.agent[15930]: ... no modules for PCI slot
> 03:00.0
>
> Plugged in the card and got the above message from the tail. Why is the
> pci.agent running and not the firmware.agent.  I do not understand what is
> going on here.  I know with my Proxim wireless card and driver the
> pci.agent is involved in loading the modules.
