[Prism54-users] 3CRWE154G72, doesn't seem to work.

[Mads N. Vestergaard]

Hi,
I bought the 3com 3CRWE154G72 [Office Connect Wireless LAN Adapter], and
i startet patching my kernel, and recompile it, everything went pretty
smooth, so now i have
 a 2.4.27 kernel, patch with the prism54 support.

But i really can't seem to get it to work,

ifconfig -a shows:
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:30:B4:00:00:00  
          inet addr:192.168.2.103  Bcast:192.168.2.255

iwlist eth0 scan shows:
eth0      No scan results

I know the AP works, because i also uses a Zyxel 2000w VoIP telephone
over the AP.

Do tou have any idea what went wrong, i have searched through the
mailing list, but i can't seem to fin the problem any where, and google,
doesn't give me much info 
neither.

The LEDs on the card seems to light both of them, not flashing just keep
turned on.

The card is eth0, because i also use the pcmcia slot for normal wired
network, but the other card fills the slot, so i have to change them
every time.

I would be really happy, if you could help me with thiis one.

Kind regards
