[Prism54-users] Help: SMC2802W - firmware loading fails, eth0 does not start

[Milan Zimmermann]

Jens,

Thanks for your reply - I am getting back to this a week later, was gone last 
week.

I do have firmware.agent in /etc/hotplug, it is executable, still the same 
problem. I am completely confused as to what to try next, I double checked 
everything I read in the docs... 

I'd like to get some suggestion on how to debug this problem, for example, can 
I put some echos inside the firmware.agent and see what the $DEVPATH and 
$FIRMWARE are set to?  Where do they come from when firmware.agent is 
executed? If I set the DEBUG=yes, where is the output going to be? 

Thanks Milan
