Hi Kano,

Thank you for your request. You might also want to add a little note about why you want this sort of thing done. I suspect the kernel team will not remove the pci ids from the legacy drivers. However, they may consider blacklisting them. I'll reassign to the kernel team for their consideration. Thanks.

[Kano (master-kanotix)]

In what package do you want to blacklist em? Also if you accidently install discover any blacklist entries are ignored which are in /etc/modprobe.d.

[Tim Gardner (timg-tpi)]

Blacklisted bcm43cc and prism54.

It was time.. prism54 never worked with this module.

This causes my wireless PCMCIA card not to work.

Using the p54pci driver, I get:

0000:02:00.0 (prism54pci): cannot find firmware (isl3886)
ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:02:00.0 disabled
prism54pci: probe of 0000:02:00.0 failed with error -2

(I note that the isl3886 firmware is present on my system, and prism54 finds and loads it correctly.) Once I load the prism54 module manually, everything works perfectly.

The card is a 3Com 3CRWE154G72 Office Connect Wireless LAN Adapter (rev 01).
