Although right now I am using a D-Link USB wifi receiver, I did try a Linksys for a few days after I had set it up for the D-Link, and it worked right out of the box. So the procedure should be the same. Here is how I did it for the D-Link. 1. I put the firmware in /lib/firmware/ 2. Renamed it to 'isl3890usb' 2. in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/ ran "make menuconfig" as root, enabled the relevant kernel module. then did a "modprobe <driver>". Here <driver> is p54. I believe you missed the renaming the firmware part. HTH PS: I am on x86_64 too $uname -r 2.6.27.24-170.2.68.fc10.x86_64

But the device I have is a WUSB54G is a USB device. The Firmware I downloaded is for the kernel I have and the firmware is the isl3886usb but another person told me to rename it to /lib/firmware/isl3890usb Am I missing something here ? Something that puzzles me is, I have X86_64 box here, shouldn't this firmware be located in /lib64/firmware ?

Its rather odd that in your case the kernel is looking for two different firmwares for the same device. > Modules that are loading > > p54usb 14208 0 > p54common 20452 1 p54usb > mac80211 194224 2 p54usb,p54common > > As you can see from this device list, your adapter is not there. http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/p54/devices However filtering the complete device list for Linksys gives me a list where it is included. http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Devices/USB?dbw.devices.submit=filter... Are you sure you have the correct model *name* *and* *revision* for the adapter? If you have that correct then the next step would be to check the settings in menuconfig. This is what you should see when you search for prism after running make menuconfig. │ Symbol: PRISM54 [=m] │ Prompt: Intersil Prism GT/Duette/Indigo PCI/Cardbus │ Defined at drivers/net/wireless/Kconfig:496 │ Depends on: NETDEVICES&& !S390&& PCI&& EXPERIMENTAL&& WLAN_80211 │ Location: │ -> Device Drivers │ -> Network device support (NETDEVICES [=y]) │ -> Wireless LAN │ -> Wireless LAN (IEEE 802.11) (WLAN_80211 [=y]) │ Selects: WIRELESS_EXT&& FW_LOADER After that is verified, try 'modprobe prism54'. I was quoting from memory in my last email and had erroneously said p54. If all of this doesn't work, I am out of ideas. I am very new to linux myself. :P GL

FC10 How do you treat a l3886usb.arm firmware package in Fedora. How do you install it into /lib/firmware ?

Jim, mine uses something called rt73.bin and I have no idea how it got in /lib/firmware... But that's what it appears to use.

On looking at the files in /lib/firmware I see that the most recently accessed file is rt73.bin. And that if I boot without plugging in the WUSH54G device that firmware is not accessed. I didn't pull that filename out of the sir, I looked to see what firmware was accessed. Are you saying that the access when the device is used is just a coincidence?

The firmware I downloaded was for the 2.6.29 kernel, which is what I.m using. The output of Dmesg is attached.

I've tried all the lsub options and nothing reads chipset.
