cd /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/
sudo wget http://prism54.org/~mcgrof/firmware/1.0.4.3.arm
sudo mv 1.0.4.3.arm isl3890
sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces

auto eth0 
iface eth0 inet dhcp 
wireless_mode managed|ad-hoc 
wireless_essid ESSID 
wireless_ap auto 
wireless_keymode open|restriced 
wireless_key1 WEPKEY 
wireless_defaultkey 1 

For wireless_mode, choose managed or ad-hoc depending on your network .
Replace ESSID with your ESSID. For wireless_keymode, choose open or
restriced depending on how your AP is configured. Replace WEPKEY with
your wep key.

I would also install:

sudo apt-get install ifupdown
sudo apt-get install waproamd
