Although, according to prism54.org this is the most successful card for 
use under Linux, I have failed to get it to function.
I have installed the firmware available via YOU, and Yast detects it 
correctly as a network device, but it fails to initialise.

Tailing /var/log/messages/ shows that after the firmware is uploaded a 
reset is issued which seems to fail and the device then fails to 
respond, with the command buffer filling up. (don't have a copy at the 
moment as my laptop is elsewhere!)

I wondered if the firmware might be incorrect, so installed to card on 
another (w2k) laptop and then tried to find the .arm firmware. However 
there are no .arm files on the w2k box. Looking at the .inf file has 
lines that suggests any .arm file is deleted!!


e.g.
[NIC_FW.del]
 3C154G72.arm

Any one got any ideas where to go from here?
