Guest sukw Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 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!
