[Prism54-users] Can't make a SMC2802W work. Maybe it's my hardware setup? Doing something wrong?

Hi.

I just tryied the latest CVS version from today and I can't make my =
SMC2802W PCI work in my linux box.

I'm using kernel 2.4.24 with the CVS patch from today. I didn't forget =
to have modules for prism and hot plug firmware. I also installed the =
hotplug firmware agent. Firmware is the latest available on prism54.org =
(1.0.4.3).
After doing a modprobe prism54 I get this dmesg:
=20
Loaded prism54 driver, version 1.0.2.2
divert: allocating divert_blk for eth3
eth3: islpci_open()

eth3: firmware uploaded done, now triggering reset...
de_put: deferred delete of loading

eth3: device soft reset timed out
Check iwconfig output:

Trying another reset with iwpriv also doesn't work. Using all the =
available firmwares didn't help either.
The card refuses to colaborate. Output of /proc/interrupts after several =
tests. IRQ number doesn't change:

Maybe the problem is my hardware setup? Firmware doesn't load properlly =
for some reason?

Thanks in advance.
