Hi Brian, Utin,
I finally got a prism card Zyxell g-100.
Here is the cardctl ident info.
product info : "Intersil", "ISL3890", "-", "-"
manfid: 0x000b, 0x3890
function: 254 ((null))
I still find that wlan0 interface is not showing up iwconfig.
what else should I do. In which directory should I put the wireless
firmware.
One more problem is I tried to add this in the /etc/pcmcia/hostap_cs.conf
Then I tried to do
service pcmcia stop
service pcmcia start
I got a syntax error.
in that line I added. How to add this info in hostap_cs.conf ??
I added as follows
card "Intersil", "ISL3890", "-", "-"
manfid: 0x000b, 0x3890
bind "hostap_cs"
Is this correct ???
Please do advice me on this.
Regards
Navaneeth
