Hopefully this will help get others connected.
The card I got is a PrismGT/Prism Duette ( rev 1 )
'lspci' reports:
00:0f.0 Network controller: Intersil Corporation Intersil ISL3890 [Prism GT/Prism Duette] (rev 01)
i used the 1.2 version from http://prism54.org and the firmware from http://prism54.org/~mcgrof/firmware/1.0.4.3.arm renamed to 'isl3890' and placed in the '/usr/lib/hotplug/firmware' dir.. Remember to rename the file (I didn't and it took me a while to figure out what I had done wrong).
Strangely the device doesn not show up as a wlan device as I expected but eth1 in my case. I had to mess around with the config (/etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth1, /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 ) files for quite a while but i was eventually able to get it working with 'system-config-network' .
