Bug Description

My card is beeing recognized on Edgy, but not on Feisty anymore.

sudo lspci -v:
03:00.0 Network controller: Intersil Corporation ISL3890 [Prism GT/Prism Duette]/ISL3886 [Prism Javelin/Prism Xbow] (rev 01)
        Subsystem: Tekram Technology Co.,Ltd. ALLNET ALL0271 Wireless PCI Adapter
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 80, IRQ 177
        Memory at 42000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K]
        Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 1

It's a pcmcia card from SITECOM art. code: WL-140 V2.

I'm on feisty now, after i upgraded from edgy. I have to use kernel 2.6.17-10-generic, because the other two kernel 2.6.17-11-generic and 2.6.20-16-generic doesn't support my card/prism54(?) (anymore). I'm not sure if Feisty uses the "yenta_socket" or "yenta_cardbus" module by default, but they are loaded by default on edgy.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I just got my girlfriend over to the good side. So I burned cd with ubuntu 8.04 hardy haron and the wireless network doesn´t work :/. The computer has a pcmcia card sitecom WL-140 too. I'll send the other debugging reports soon. If you want to test stuff I'm able to test it.

Beginning with the Hardy Heron 8.04 development cycle, all open Ubuntu kernel bugs need to be reported against the "linux" kernel package. We are automatically migrating this bug to the new "linux" package. However, development has already began for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. It would be helpful if you could test the upcoming release and verify if this is still an issue - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing . If the issue still exists, please update this report by changing the Status of the "linux" task from "Incomplete" to "New". We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make this transition. Thanks!
