Just another datapoint on the WG511 card on my Thinkpad X22 running
Fedora Core 3.

Firmware (from prism54.org) intalled in /lib/firmware

ls -l shows

-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root  93996 Nov 22 21:15 isl3890

Putting in the card does NOT automatically initialize it.  However,
running "ifup eth1" DOES set up the card properly and it works after that.

(On a machine without built-in ethernet, "ifup eth0" should do it...)

I can give some more info if needed when I get home (we don't have
wireless at work, so I don't have the card with me).
