I've installed my 3com pcmcia wireless card with prism54 chip according this instructions, which I found in this forum:

- remove the wlan-card
- load an firmware from http://www.prism54.org
- copy this file to /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware (mkdir firmware if doesnt exist)
- rename it to isl3890
- insert the card
- if after the insert some errors are displayed on console load an older firmware an rename it like shown above
- if no errors displayed try iwconfig on the console as root to configure the wlan-card (try man iwconfig for more details)
- set the card with ifconfig eth1 up online
- eventually start dhclient to get dynamic ip from a dhcp-server/accesspoint

The wireless card seems to work but it is not possible to start the eth1 device by running the command: service network start
the system always responds: FAILED
over iwconfig I can find my access point and I also receive a ip, but I have no connection to the internet!

does anyone have a suggestion what is to do?
thanks a lot!
