hi, there are the "old" kernel module called prism54.ko (in openwrt it is the kmod-net-prism54 module) and a newer one ( kmod-p54-common and kmod-p54-pci) which requires mac80211. both need a firmware to run, but not while loading the kernel module, but if the device will be up (ifconfig eth1 up) the firmware request start looking for the firmware file in /lib/firmware. the chip 3880 is hardmac, so you will need 1.0.4.3 and rename it to isl3890. the chips 3886 and 3887 are softmac, so you need a 2.x firmware (for ex. 2.7.0.0). more infos: hardmac docu, as you know is under prism54.org und softmac docu is under http://islsm.org/wiki/ ia far as i remember the new driver was not working on kernels >2.6.19 but only prism54. now with kernel >2.6.24 the old driver prism54 is not working anymore but the new one. tested on soekris (x86). i will test later on to build a new openwrt image for mtx-1 (mips) so long ulf _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openwrt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
