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!
