TOPIC: Supporting a Netgear WG511 54Mb PCMCIA Wi-Fi card



Note: This card is no longer manufactured. It has been replaced by the Netgear WG511T for which the driver is built into the kernel.
  1. Download the firmware (called "isl3890").

  2. Save in /lib/firmware/ (this is different from the location for YDL v4.0)

  3. Modify /etc/modprobe.conf and add the following line:
    alias eth1 prism54

  4. Insert the Netgear card.

  5. Now launch YDL Menu --> System Settings --> Network Control Panel. Create a new Device. Make certain to choose the prism54 device. Then activate eth1.
