Dear All,
I just tried to get my new wireless card to work with mdk. No luck, I
get the errors:
no lights on card.
iwconfig -> "Not Ready!"
dmesg: Prism54 request_firmware() failed for 'isl3890'
Cause: Mandrake haven't installed the firmware for the card. It doesn't
seem to be available in any of the packages.
Fix: Copy the directory /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/
from Knoppix (I used 3.7).
It now works!
Hope that's useful
Richard
