The prism54 driver seems to load happily when the card is plugged in.
I would have thought the driver would complain if it couldn't find a
card with a suitable chipset.

It's certainly possible that I need different firmware, but my lspci
output looks very similar (right down to the rev no):
0000:02:00.0 Network controller: Intersil Corporation Intersil ISL3890
[Prism GT/Prism Duette] (rev 01)

Thanks for your help
