Networking :: Netgear WG511 on an ibm 600
Hi all,
I've got DSL 3.01 working nicely on my IBM 600. Everything but networking. The only card I have is a netgear WG511. I see that there are number of versions for this, I believe mine in a Version 1, I do I get:
cardctl info 0
PRODID_1="Intersil"
PRODID_2="ISL3890"
PRODID_3="-"
PRODID_4="-"
MANFID=000b,3890
FUNCID=254
the lights don't blink
when the card is inserted i run dmesg and the last line is:
PCI: Enabling device 01.00.00 (0000 -> 0002)
when I run:
modprobe prism54
i get errors.
int_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused ...blah blah
dmesg says:
Loaded prism54 driver, version 1.1
however, when i do an lsmod prism54 does not show up in list
Any ideas? Anything for me to try?
Thanks
Terry
I would start by looking for your exact card here.
I don't know if this is the exact one or not.
37. Card: Netgear WG511 54Mbps Cardbus adapter
* Chipset: Intersil Corporation Intersil ISL3890 Prism GT/Prism Duette? (rev 01)
* pciid: 1260:3890
* Driver: Netgear windows driver Version: NETGEAR, Inc.,06/04/2004, shipped with the setup CD
* Other: Slackware 10 - kernel 2.6.9-rc2 - Ndiswrapper 0.10; works very good at 54Mbps, also with WEP (64bit)
everything looks the same, except I'm not sure if the PCIID is the same as the MANFID. mine is MANFID=000b,3890
Another interseting thing is when I do a:
lspci -vv
I get
0000:01:00.0 Network Controller: Illegal Vendor ID: Unknown device 3890 (rev 01)
Subsystem: Negear: Unknown device 4800
Thanks, Terry
