Comment 4 for bug 41840

I have this very problem with kernel 2.6.22-9-generic on Gutsy.
Since I have a version 1.0 PCMCIA 3Com 3crwe154g72, the ONLY way to have it working is installing the prism54 driver along with the correct firmware.
Now I have to recompile my kernel by hand to enable this module (prism54) each time.
I'd be glad if it could be re-enabled by default by you, maybe blacklisting it in /etc/modules.d if you think it could lead to problems for someone.

However, excluding this kernel module from the distribution has created quite a lot pain (a google search shows quite a few affected users).

I thus think that this is a bug concerning the kernel team and, albeit almost trivial in its solution (shipping the prism54 module), needs fixing with a high priority.
