Hello, I am trying to install a 3Com Wireless card. I do know that the required module is prism54 because it do works in another computer (also running debian sarge), it also works when booting from a knoppix CD in the computer I am trying to install. I have used several kernels: the one in from the sarge distro, the one from the debian ropository kernel-image-2.6.10-1-686, and another one compiled (2.6.11.5) by my self with the direcyives indicated in http://prism54.org/phpwiki?pagename=Prism54%20Debian%20HowTo I do not know what is happening, it seems that it does not even try to load the firmware: Code: salon:/etc/hotplug# modprobe -v prism54 salon:~# modprobe -v prism54 insmod /lib/modules/2.6.11.5/kernel/drivers/base/firmware_class.ko insmod /lib/modules/2.6.11.5/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/prism54/prism54.ko salon:~# Mar 23 08:15:55 salon kernel: device class 'firmware': registering Mar 23 08:15:55 salon kernel: Loaded prism54 driver, version 1.2 Mar 23 08:15:55 salon kernel: bus pci: add driver prism54 Mar 23 08:15:55 salon kernel: ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:02:00.0[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 177 Mar 23 08:15:55 salon kernel: CLASS: registering class device: ID = 'eth2' Mar 23 08:15:55 salon kernel: class_hotplug - name = eth2 Mar 23 08:15:55 salon kernel: bound device '0000:02:00.0' to driver 'prism54' I have required packages salon:/etc/hotplug# dpkg -l wireless-tools hotplug pciutils ii wireless-tools 27-2 Tools for manipulating Linux Wireless Extensions ii hotplug 0.0.20040329-17 Linux Hotplug Scripts ii pciutils 2.1.11-15 Linux PCI Utilities I have installed the firmware file salon:/etc/hotplug# ls -al /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/isl3890 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 93996 2005-03-22 21:08 /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/isl3890 And the file firmware.agent has executable permissions: salon:/etc/hotplug# ls -al /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1397 2005-02-16 18:15 /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent Thanks, Luis. -- http://antares.sip.ucm.es/~luis In a world without walls, who need Windows?
