no prism54 driver in gutsy

[urho]

updated my feisty to gutsy & my wlan card netgear wg511v1 which uses prism54 drivers stopped working. No lights are on & ifconfig wont show wlan0 or any wireless present. lspci other hand gives 02:00.0 Network controller: Intersil Corporation ISL3890 [Prism GT/Prism Duette]/ISL3886 [Prism Javelin/Prism Xbow] (rev 01) so harware is there.

using gutsy Linux version 2.6.22-9-generic (buildd@vernadsky) (gcc version 4.1.3 20070718 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.2-14ubuntu1)) #1 SMP Mon Jul 30 18:00:27 GMT 2007 (Ubuntu 2.6.22-9.20-generic)

I can confirm this in gutsy/amd64, 2.6.22-9.25

I also added the p54 softmac driver to gutsy linux-ubuntu-modules. It will be in the version following
2.6.22-10.24.

modprobe p54usb
modprobe p54pci

[Alexandre Otto Strube (surak)]

Not fixed for me. I have to change modules just as Tim
