[Bug 524713] [NEW] isl3886pci firmware not found after upgrade moved it to subdir

[Karl Bielefeldt]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-firmware

When I upgraded from Karmic to Lucid 10.04 (linux-firmware version
1.29), the isl3886pci firmware is no longer found and loaded, causing my
wireless card to not work.

This file was previously located in /lib/firmware directly.  It is now
located in /lib/firmware/prism54_softmac/isl3886pci.  Creating a
symbolic link from the new location back to /lib/firmware/isl3886pci
corrects the problem for me.  Although that's the simplest fix, it may
make better sense to fix it in the kernel or the firmware helper in the
udev package.
