[Prism54-users] SMC2802 and Mandrake 10.0 beta2

[Francisco Alcaraz]

I am close to the solution, now installed in a partition (hdb13) mandrake 1=
0.0=20
beta 2 with the 2.6-2rc2 kernel that includes prism54 modules. Loaded=20
firmware (isl3980) in the appropriate directory. Harddrake recognize the=20
wireless card but can't configure the net.
I attach some of the results:

ifconfig eth0 up: results of dmesg |grep eth0:
