[SLE] Wireless problems - SIOCSIFFLAGS: Timer expired
Hello! I am using SMC 2802W wireless card and the latest prism54 firmware (Intersil Corporation Intersil ISL3890 [Prism GT/Prism Duette] (rev 01)). The system is Suse 10.0 and i have the latest kernel. I have also tried "no acpi" option. No sucess. Dmesg lists the folowing: eth1: resetting device... eth1: uploading firmware... eth1: firmware version: 1.0.4.3 eth1: firmware upload complete eth1: no 'reset complete' IRQ seen - retrying eth1: no 'reset complete' IRQ seen - retrying eth1: interface reset failure prism54: Your card/socket may be faulty, or IRQ line too busy :( Can anyone help me get this card running? Tnx Scorpy

Hi Scorpy, A quick trip to Google searching on the "no 'reset complete' IRQ seen - retrying" error message yielded several apropos hits. The following snippet comes from one of them:
i'm starting to think that this card is not really supported by the prism54 module...
Network controller: Intersil Corporation Intersil ISL3890 [Prism GT/Prism Duette] (rev 01)
because it may be the "macless" version of the card, which the prism54 driver can't do. this looks very similar to what i saw with my card.
if it is the same one, on the ndiswrapper wiki, under drivers, look for the "smc2835w" driver.
I don't know for certain that this gets you where you want to go, but it looks worth investigating IMHO. hth & regards, Carl -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
Addendum: From the same thread, but at the bottom:
The State of 802.11g Wireless Networking in Linux (http://news.tiker.net/node/205)
The Intersil PrismGT was a hopeful contender, until the card manufacturers discovered that they can save a few cents on each card if they stick the MAC-layer processing into the host driver instead of the card’s firmware. (This cheaper type of card is called SoftMAC and will make the prism54 driver complain about “no 'reset complete' IRQ seen - retrying” and “prism54: Your card/socket may be faulty, or IRQ line too busy”). The driver is complete, functional and open, but it doesn’t support the SoftMAC cards, and the earlier hardware versions that aren’t SoftMAC are nowhere to be found, not even on ebay.
