[Bug 38238] Re: prism54 no longer works

[Albrecht Gebhardt]

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 38278 ***

... the softmac driver also supports the old fullmac cards, so another solution is to 
get the softmac firmware (version2.x) e.g from

http://jbnote.free.fr/prism54usb/data/firmwares/pci/2.7.0.0/2.7.0.0.arm

put it into /lib/firmware/2.6.15-20-686 (or whatever the corrct path will be)
as isl3886 and it (partly) works without removing the islsm* modules:

The interfaces now comes up, with the correct HWA. DHCP fails for me, obviously because I cannot get my WEP key into the card in Softmac mode:

iwconfig eth2 key XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :
    SET failed on device eth2 ; Unknown error 524.

So I'll continue to try to disable the islsm driver for the old card, I hope removing the PCI ID of the old card from the softmac driver will do the job, my kernel compiles just now:
