Hi

I found this card should be working with the prism54 driver, but I can't
get it in a working state :/

In fact, it is not the real card, but it has this chipset on it. The
card is built-in in the laptop, the only info I can getis:
laptop is the Medion laptop 10400 (sold in Belgium, and I suppose also
in Germany - Aldi Sued)
card should be a Prism NITRO (802.11g)

lspci -vvv output:

it seems the PCIVENDOR and PCIDEVICE codes are rarely known to drivers
(17cf:0014)

I'm running debian unstable, with self-made kernel 2.6.0-test9 (hotplug
etc included as it has to be I think)
I did install hotplug and the wireless tools (iwconfig) from the
unstable tree of debian

the driver is the cvs snapshot of 20031105
it compiles but says at loading time (in dmesg):
Loaded prism54 driver, version 1.0.2.2
eth1: resetting device...
eth1: uploading firmware...
prism54: request_firmware() failed for 'isl3890'
eth1: could not upload firmware ('isl3890')
prism54: probe of 0000:03:06.0 failed with error -5

so , it seems I have a somewhat problem like Olivier Bert..

tnx in advance
