helping out!
A:  lsmod does not work for firmware_class and prism54 but they ARE 
compiled into the kernel.

B:   I get nothing for ds, yenta_socket, or pcmcia_core using lsmod or 
insmod.  I have to assume they also are compiled into the kernel as tail 
reports when the is card inserted and removed.

C:  lspci DOES list the card.

D:  I have tried putting the .arm file into
    1:  /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/isl3890/1.0.4.3.arm
    2:  /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/isl3890/isl3890.arm
    3:  /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/isl3890/isl3890
    4:  /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/isl3890
    5:  /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/isl3890.arm
    6:  /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/1.0.4.3.arm

E:  the out put of tail /var/log/messages indicates that the prism54 
driver CANNOT be loaded:

 #1st line is card removed,  others  indicated card insertion.

All this indicates to me I must have done something wrong.  Any Ideas?
