Thread: Wifi issues: isl3886

it's 2wire 802.11g pcmcia card, didn't show @ all. after used "modprobe prism54" show up, not work.

code:

# ifconfig eth2  eth2      link encap:ethernet  hwaddr 00:30:b4:00:00:00              broadcast multicast  mtu:1500  metric:1            rx packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0            tx packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0            collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000             rx bytes:0 (0.0 b)  tx bytes:0 (0.0 b)            interrupt:11

but if try like:

code:

# ifconfig eth2  siocsifflags: no such file or directory

when use iwconfig, shows:

code:

eth2      not ready!  essid:off/any              mode:managed  channel:0  access point: not-associated               tx-power=31 dbm   sensitivity=0/200              retry short 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
