Package: linux-wlan-ng Version: 0.2.8+svn1839+dfsg-2 Severity: normal I've just switched to debian from ubuntu, in which this network card was working properly (IIRC with 2.6.20, as opposed to 2.6.22-3-686 which I'm running on debian).
I've installed the firmware isl3890 from the prism website in /lib/firmware/isl3890 and /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware. $ tail /var/log/dmesg (while inserting card) pccard: CardBus card inserted into slot 0 PCI: Enabling device 0000:03:00.0 (0000 -> 0002) ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:03:00.0[A] -> Link [LNKA] -> GSI 10 (level, low) -> IRQ 10 prism54: pci_set_mwi(pdev) succeeded $ sudo lspci -v 03:00.0 Network controller: 3Com Corporation 3com 3CRWE154G72 [Office Connect Wireless LAN Adapter] (rev 01) Subsystem: 3Com Corporation 3com 3CRWE154G72 [Office Connect Wireless LAN Adapter] Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 80, IRQ 10 Memory at d4000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K] Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 1 Kernel driver in use: prism54 Kernel modules: prism54 $ sudo ifup eth0 Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Client V3.1.0 Copyright 2004-2007 Internet Systems Consortium.
