Hello .
I have 2 network cards: wired uses via_rhine and mii modules, and smc2802W using prism54 module. Via is eth1 and smc is eth0 I set them up in this order because prism54 tries to load firmware always to eth0 even if I set via card as eth0(any way to change where the firmware is uploaded?) I'm getting error:
eth0: resetting device...
eth0: uploading firmware...
prism54: request_firmware() failed for 'isl3890'
eth0: could not upload firmware ('isl3890')
eth0: islpci_reset: failure
What goes wronge there?
I have connection on via card no problems.
iwconfig gives me :
eth0 NOT READY! ESSID:"default"
Mode:Managed Channel:0 Access Point: 00:00:00:00:00:00
Tx-Power=31 dBm Sensitivity=0/200
Retry min limit:0 RTS thr=0 B Fragment thr=0 B
Encryption key:off
Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
Thanks for help

Is the firmware file in the right place - /lib/firmware?

This is probably a problem /lib/firmware doesn't even exist. Where do I get the firmware from? Does it have to be Arch specific?

It's not Arch-specific. Create /lib/firmware, download version 1.0.4.3 from here, and rename it isl3890.

Thanks for help. Firmware loads no problem.
eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0x45E1
eth1: resetting device...
eth1: uploading firmware...
eth1: firmware version: 1.0.4.3
eth1: firmware upload complete
eth1: interface reset complete
eth0: no IPv6 routers present
eth1: no IPv6 routers present
eth1: islpci_close ()
But iwconfig gives me:
eth1 NOT READY! ESSID:off/any
Mode:Managed Channel:0 Access Point: 00:00:00:00:00:00
Tx-Power=31 dBm Sensitivity=0/200

I think I need some editing in /etc/network/profiles/main
or should I go with menu and create seperate file for eth1?
Any chances for autodect or you always have to put SSID and KEY?

You need to configure eth1 - loading the firmware is only the first step. Read the network and wireless stuff in the wiki. I don't use profiles myself, so I can't be more specific.

There is a pkg for the firmware in in [dibble] too
