WG511 in Slack 10 with 2.6.7

xhypno · 09-21-2004, 10:00 PM

Hello board,

I have slack 10 installed on a presario 1516us. I have the pcmcia working and the system working perfectly. I had a wg511t that would not work no matter what, so I exchanged it for a wg511 that has the prism54 drivers built into the Kernal. Now the card is recognized and the prism54 module is loaded correctly. But, in iwconfig, the card is listed as not ready.

Any help will be appreciated.

I just found the fix on the prism board. I had to install the latest firmware for the card 1.0.4.3.arm and it works and seeks a siginal.

how do you install the latest firmware onto the card in linux?

I was helped in finding this answer. For people in the future - you can go to http://www.prism54.org and follow the instructions.
