[Prism54-users] [Netgear WG511]: could not upload firmware ('isl3890')

[Benjamin Henne]

Hi.

I have a Fujitasu-Siemens Lifebook E7110
with  Netgear WG511
on debian with newly installed 2.6.0 kernel

I have problems with getting wireless card to work:


syslog after card inserted into slot says:

16:03 metalhen kernel: PCI: Enabling device 0000:03:00.0 (0000->0002)
16:03 metalhen pci.agent[796]: kernel driver prism54 already loaded
16:03metalhen pci.agent[796]: kernel driver prism54 already loaded

syslog when trying "ifconfig eth3 up":

16:03 metalhen kernel: eth3: islpci_open()
16:03 metalhen kernel: eth3: resetting device...
16:03 metalhen kernel: eth3: uploading firmware...
16:03 metalhen kernel: prism54: request_firmware() failed for 'isl3890'
16:03 metalhen kernel: eth3: could not upload firmware ('isl3890')


firmware-file exists:

metalhen:~# ls /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/
isl3890



Do You have any idea?


thx
