But i never get any chance for driver :( I really need this driver! and get it to work so i can use Linux on my laptop more often than the lame windows.

   SET failed on device eth1; Input/output error.

verify that you arnt supposed to press a key combination on the laptop (like FN F1) to get wireless 'on'

 

i had a similar issue in suse 9.3 recently with intel wireless

 

see here to see what i'm talking about

Anyweb, Thanks for the link, but it not helping :( my wireless network isn't a hotkey it just got a button. also build in board. my Fedora core 3 know i got wifi but all i am getting error when i active my wifi as i show in code above.

 

by the way, thank you for welcoming me back :)

SIOCSIFFLAGS is that not an IRQ conflict?

 



Code:
cat /proc/interrupt




 

not 100% but i remember something in the floating mess that is my memory

I tried that cat /proc/interrupt but it not helping.

 

I use dmesg and it turn out as

 



Code:
eth1: islpci_open()
eth1: resetting device...
eth1: uploading firmware...
prism54: request_firmware() failed for 'isl3886'
eth1: could not upload firmware ('isl3886')
eth1: islpci_open()
eth1: resetting device...
eth1: uploading firmware...
prism54: request_firmware() failed for 'isl3886'
eth1: could not upload firmware ('isl3886')




 

it jsut all about the flippin firmware, but there is no firmware for ISL3886 from prism54's website.

 

any other solution if it possible??

 

thanks

i wonder.. are you attempting to use it directly.. ?

 

maybe you can get the firmware here [/url][url=http://prism54.org/~mcgrof/firmware/]http://prism54.org/~mcgrof/firmware/

 

maybe unload the kernel mod and try using ndiswrapper instead, then write a crappy letter to prism about the lack of firmware support :)

ndiswrapper works here and it really GREAT!! prism54 should be spit! and workers so lazy to get the ISL3886 to work!! thump up to ndiswrapper ;)

 

If any of you have same problem, i'll be happy to help :)

 

Now iam happy to use linux again via wifi ;)

I have exactly the same problem on the same notebook, Fujitsu Siemens AMILO D1845. If you could help saying me your procedure, I could save much time...

 

Thanks!
