[Prism54-users] Netgear WG511 802.11g problems...

[Boex,Matthew W.]

Howdy,

Having problems getting my Netgear WG511 802.11g network card to work
with my FedoraCore2 ...stock install.  When I put the card in the pcmcia
slot I get...

------------------------
Nov 30 14:54:52 guac kernel: PCI: Enabling device 0000:07:00.0 (0000 ->
0002)
Nov 30 14:54:53 guac kernel: prism54: request_firmware() failed for
'isl3890'
Nov 30 14:54:53 guac kernel: eth1: could not upload firmware ('isl3890')
Nov 30 14:54:53 guac dhclient: sit0: unknown hardware address type 776

------------------------

So... I downloaded the firmware....

ISL3890-0.1.0.tar.gz

Untarred, and also loaded the kernel source from cd...

kernel-source-2.6.5-1.358.i386.rpm

Installed.  Now I go to the

cd ISL3890-0.1.0/pcmcia-cs-3.2.4-intersil  dir and run...

./Configure

Below is the output.   What am I doing wrong?
