Mitch, Three questions : 1. Where is your card manufactured ? Mine is "made in China". Is your's too ? (I've read somwhere that somebody had a card made in China that did NOT work and another one from the same brand made in Singapore that did work). 2. I didn't see ant drivers in YOU, are you sure ? I did download and install the frmware. 3. What "modprobe" should I do ? Thanks in advance for your reply, Greetings, On Thursday 18 November 2004 03:52, Mitch Thompson wrote:
I'm not sure what the problem is, I am using an SMC2835W (v1) with PrismGT chipset with no problems (well, I am stuck with WEP until I get around to figuring out wpa_supplicant). All I did, that I recall, was install the drivers that appear in YOU, and then modprobe. Sorry, I can't remember all the details because I have the laptop in Windows XP (I'm addicted to Civ III:Conquests).

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
// cut
Nothing happens, the leds 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 ???
