PrismGT wireless problem with SuSE 9.1
This is my 3rd posting of this problem. The previous two got no reaction at all. Can nobody help me ?????? This is the problem : I'm trying to use the SMC2835W 802.11g (54Mbps) wireless PCMCIA card with SuSE 9.1, without success. I cannot even give any command to the card; it remains totally dead. (It works under Windows, so the hardware is OK). This card has a PrismGT chip, and I am running the prism54 driver version 1.1 in my SuSe 9.1 According to instructions, I downloaded the firmware 1.0.4.3 and installed it in /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware with the name isl3890 (as instructed). But, when I insert the card in its slot, then I get : eth1: prism54 driver detected card model: PRISM Duette/GT eth1: islpci_open() eth1: resetting device... eth1: uploading firmware... eth1: firmware uploaded done, now triggering reset... eth1: device soft reset timed out eth1: timeout waiting for mgmt response 1000, trigging device eth1: timeout waiting for mgmt response eth1: timeout waiting for mgmt response 1000, trigging device eth1: timeout waiting for mgmt response eth1: timeout waiting for mgmt response 1000, trigging device eth1: timeout waiting for mgmt response eth1: timeout waiting for mgmt response 1000, trigging device eth1: timeout waiting for mgmt response eth1: mgmt tx queue is still full eth1: mgt_commit has failed. Restart the device eth1: mgmt tx queue is still full Nothing happens, the led's on the card remain dark and I cannot get to it with any command at all. Apparently the "device soft reset timed out" is the problem, but what can I do about it ??? I've already done a lot of googling and saw the same problem mentioned several times, but nowhere a solution. :-( Can anybody please help me with what might be going on here and how to resolve this ? I'm struggling already for over two weeks with this problem. Thank in advance, -- Jan Elders the Netherlands http://www.xs4all.nl/~jrme/ "Home of the Network Acronyms"
