prism54 problem, possibly firmware


Mandrake 10 detected the card and loaded the prism54 driver, which at first didn't seem to be doing anything. On closer inspection it was failing because it had no firmware. I downloaded the firmware from http://prism54.org/~mcgrof/firmware/.
1.0.4.3 refused to load, so I tried 1.0.3.0. Partial success! The firmware loads, but fails with this error: (taken from dmesg)
Code:
Loaded prism54 driver, version 1.0.2.2
PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 0000:01:08.0
PCI: Sharing IRQ 11 with 0000:00:01.0
eth1: prism54 driver detected card model: PRISM Duette/GT
eth1: islpci_open()
eth1: resetting device...
eth1: uploading firmware...
eth1: firmware uploaded done, now triggering reset...
eth1: device soft reset timed out
eth1: device soft reset timed out
prism54: Your card/socket may be faulty, or IRQ line too busy :(
Is this indeed an irq error? Should I try to find the original windows drivers and find a *.arm file to use as firmware? The shop i got the card from has a dead link to windows drivers on it's own site, so that may come back up soon, but for now, I can't get it to work. I have tried the other firmware drivers on the site, but they do not work. Oh and device 00:01:00 happens to be:
Code:
Bus  0, device   1, function  0:
    VGA compatible controller: Intel Corp. 82810 DC-100 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller] (rev 2).
      IRQ 11.
      Prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0x44000000 [0x47ffffff].
      Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0x40500000 [0x4057ffff].
Any ideas?

these instructions work - i used them and got my wg511 to work, and so have others:
http://prism54.org/forums/viewtopic....ighlight=#1801

i believe you have to rename that file...

i insert it, and have it search for an IP via

dhclient eth1

because i only have one router

hope this helps
