<ximwork> looks like Digital_Pioneer is gonna do you more good than I. hammer2
<ximwork> that is what I said last night.
<Digital_Pioneer> :P
<ximwork> I could not/ cannot get my wifi working if my ethernet is connected
<Digital_Pioneer> ximwork: Perhaps not, but I don't think that's the problem.
<hammer2> why not try to see?
<ximwork> I don't either, just making an observation.
<hammer2> ill unplug and try and then we know more?
<Digital_Pioneer> Go ahead.
<ximwork> ndis just made things worse for me
<hammer2> k
<ximwork> hammer2: make notes that way you are not reinventing the wheel six months from now.
<ximwork> Oh BTW roer on the Wife and 3xkids

<the_hammer> was worth a shot anyways

<Digital_Pioneer> hammer2: rmmod ndiswrapper;modprobe islsm
<the_hammer> ok hang on rebooting it i couldnt connect to the net with wire
<Digital_Pioneer> islsm didn't work for my WG111, but I think it works with WG511!
<the_hammer> WG111 is older then mine right?
<Digital_Pioneer> Maybe.
<Digital_Pioneer> DK.
<the_hammer> i did some wheel n deal n to get mine from the buy and sell
<the_hammer> traded off a router for it
<the_hammer> cash flow is extream tight

<Digital_Pioneer> Is it a WG111v2?
<the_hammer> plus easyer to type on this anyways
<the_hammer> nope not v2
<the_hammer> its a wg511
<Digital_Pioneer> Excellent.
<the_hammer> i dont understand why it shows the right card installed in the location i mentioned earlyer
<the_hammer> BUT in term says the 1 ya told me to erase and although erased its still there when i lspci
<the_hammer> conflict im thinkin
<Digital_Pioneer> Are you sure your laptop doesn't have built-in wireless?
<the_hammer> postive
<the_hammer> it has a dial up modem built in and also high speed built in wired
<the_hammer> only wireless is my WG511
<the_hammer> pcmia card
<the_hammer> when i typed the last commands i heard sounds and was told last night i should hear sounds
<ximwork> yep
<the_hammer> i hear the sounds but doesnt seem to matter
<the_hammer> still not functioning
<ximwork> mnetwork and look and see what is and is not listed
<the_hammer> i also see an icon missing
<ximwork> Anybody do perl scripting?
<the_hammer> says etho and named any
<the_hammer> oops eth1
<the_hammer> sorry
<the_hammer> ESSID any
<ximwork> check each one and see what all you hve there?
<the_hammer> was blank beofre
<the_hammer> before
<ximwork> I am fluent in typos
<the_hammer> only eth0 and eth1
<ximwork> OK
<the_hammer> rest say does not exist
<ximwork> at least you see something there now
<the_hammer> somewhat and i also see something that disappeared
<ximwork> gotta run for now.
<ximwork> I am sure you are making head way now
<the_hammer> i use to have an icon that had a wireless thing but said nothing was there
<ximwork> dunno where Digital_Pioneer took off to but I hope yall get it going
<the_hammer> showed unplugged or something rather cant remember just remembering seeing the icon now the icon is not there anymore
* Digital_Pioneer took off to here.
<ximwork> ok Digital_Pioneer
<the_hammer> i really like the new mepis
<the_hammer> i pray i get this sucker working
<hammer2> 0000:07:00.0 Network controller: Intersil Corporation ISL3890 [Prism GT/Prism Duette]/ISL3886 [Prism Javelin/Prism Xbow] (rev 01)
<hammer2> still shows lspci command
<ximwork> sounds like you are real close now
<the_hammer> closer now then i was lastnight lol
<the_hammer> at least today i heard the sounds i was told im suppose to hear
<ximwork> if it shows up in mnetwork you might try adding your SSID and stuff, but only after checking in with Digital_Pioneer because the last thing I want to encourage is messing up whatever is working so far.
<ximwork> gotta run
<ximwork> later
<the_hammer> take care
<Digital_Pioneer> OK, let's try to get you going with Prism54
<ximwork> gl folks
<the_hammer> ok

<hammer2> nope
<Digital_Pioneer> OK.
<Digital_Pioneer> Put it in /lib/firmware and reboot and pray it works.
<Digital_Pioneer> Once rebooted, rmmod ndiswrapper (keep doing that until it throws an error) and modprobe islsm
<Digital_Pioneer> Then check iwconfig

<Digital_Pioneer> Oh...
<hammer2> lol
<ximwork> trying to avoid adding confusion
<hammer2> I've never seen anyone owning this card so it's unsure whether they are supported by the prism54 driver, but would I tend to yes.
<hammer2> interesting
<hammer2> that explains that driver then
<Digital_Pioneer> Yeah.
<Digital_Pioneer> Aside from that, I'm sorry. I have no idea.
<hammer2> how to kick it
<Digital_Pioneer> Just try #prism54 I guess.
<hammer2> <bluetape> use the fullmac prism54 driver
<hammer2> <roadrunner> modprobe prism54 and befor this put the ifrmware from the fullmac card in you firmware directory so the firmware will be loaded
<hammer2> <hammer2> 2.5.6.0.arm?
<hammer2> <roadrunner> thats softmac

<hammer2> but has gone silent on me
<hammer2> 2.5.6.0.arm had this file in lib/firmware

<hammer2> 1st file mentioned 2.5.6.0.arm is a soft driver or something
<hammer2> then last he said after that command i asked about said mabe i need both of those
<hammer2> and then im stuck cuz unsure what to do now and im in silence thre
<mainer> i'd have to read thru the prism driver /chip link you posted,but at first look,its either wrong driver or an irq conflict,like 2devices trying to access same irq #
<hammer2> bare in mind card work 100% in windows
<mainer> then why not stick with ndiswrapper or try madwifi
<hammer2> tried miswrapper
<hammer2> didnt go
<mainer> think madwifi is for prism chips lemme check a couple things,be a bit
