Intersil Prism Javelin MINIPCI module 1260:3886 (quite long)

[nettie]

Hi guys,

I just aquired a bounce of Intersil/Connexant Prism Javelin MINIPCI 
adapters.

The monolithic kernel I was running on my sbc was already patched and 
compiled with hostap drivers.

The first problem I figured out is that the minipci module was not 
detected my the driver, after checking out hostap_pci.c I realized that 
the pci id of the module was not present. I added it and 
recompiled/installed the kernel.

During boot time the module has been detected but I started having some 
problems:

hostap_pci: 0.2.3 - 2004-06-20 (Jouni Malinen <jkmaline at cc.hut.fi>)
hostap_pci: Registered netdevice wifi0
wifi0: Original COR value: 0x4e
hostap_pci: assuming no Primary image in flash - card initialization not 
completed
wifi0: test Genesis mode with HCR 0x1f
wifi0: Original COR value: 0x4e
Readback test failed, HCR 0x1f write 00 e1 a1 ff read ce fa ce fa
wifi0: test Genesis mode with HCR 0x0f
wifi0: Original COR value: 0x4e
Readback test failed, HCR 0x0f write 00 e1 a1 ff read ce fa ce fa
wifi0: Intersil Prism2.5 PCI: mem=0x80000000, irq=12
wifi0: registered netdevice wlan0

------------

When I tried to access the wlan0 interface I got the following errors:

wifi0: cannot get RID fdc6 (len=12) - no PRI f/w
wifi0: cannot get RID fdc6 (len=12) - no PRI f/w
wifi0: cannot get RID fdc1 (len=2) - no PRI f/w

wifi0: cannot get RID fc09 (len=2) - no PRI f/w
wifi0: cannot get RID fd48 (len=2) - no PRI f/w

Well I also tried loading the firmware using prism2_srec without any 
luck :( I receive and IOCTL error.

That's all I think, any of you guys have an idea of what could be wrong?

Thanx a lot in advance for your time.

Best,
