It uses the Prism54 Chipset.
The card runs fine under W2K.

The isl3890 firmware from prism54  is in  /lib/firmware.
Lsmod and cat interrupts both show prism54.
Cardctl ident shows both slots empty(?)..
This command under Mepis 2004 shows

product info: "Intersil", "ISL3890", "-", "-"
  manfid: 0x00b, 0x3890
  function: 254 ((null))

The card does not show up under the Internet connection wizard
although it did when I first tried to set it up(?).

Has anyone else on the list had good results with this card?
Or have and ideas on what I might be missing.

A MN520 (wireless b) card runs fine in this machine
and shows up under cardctl ident.
This card was very easy to set up.

Thanks,
    Bert
