[Prism54-users] do I need to download a driver for 2.6.11 ?

unfortunately, I read
http://ruslug.rutgers.edu/~mcgrof/802.11g/Documentation/
which seems to be outdated and claims the .arm extension is needed.

After removing it and putting the driver in the right place, I get in
dmesg:
	eth2: resetting device...
	eth2: uploading firmware...
	eth2: firmware version: 1.0.4.3
	eth2: firmware upload complete
	eth2: no 'reset complete' IRQ seen - retrying
	eth2: no 'reset complete' IRQ seen - retrying
	eth2: interface reset failure
	prism54: Your card/socket may be faulty, or IRQ line too busy :(

and at the screen:
	SIOCSIFFLAGS: Timer expired

> If it still doesn't work check you have firmware loading enabled in the

I have:
	CONFIG_STANDALONE=y
	CONFIG_PREVENT_FIRMWARE_BUILD=y
	CONFIG_FW_LOADER=m

and did now "modprobe firmware_class"
but that doesn't make a difference.


and that sysfs is mounted (in case you are running a 2.6 kernel).
> 
	sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)

What now?

Thanks for help so far!
