Subject: prism54: Out of memory, cannot handle oid, card/socket may be faulty, or IRQ line too busy

I just wanted to use a mini-PCI card using a prism54 module - however,
it fails to bring the interface up with "Out of memory, cannot handle
oid" and "Your card/socket may be faulty, or IRQ line too busy" messages.

I used the card in an ASUS WL-500gP router (mipsel).


Any ideas what it might be?

I used 2.6.23.1 kernel, below full data.

So, I tried with 2.7.0.0.arm firmware, and it's the same:

As specified here:

http://prism54.org/fullmac.html
Only PCI cards with an ISL3877, ISL3880 and ISL3890 work -> I used
Version 1.0.4.3 (for ISL3880 and ISL3890)


My card is:

Intersil Corporation ISL3890 [Prism GT/Prism Duette]/ISL3886


Is it ISL3890 or ISL3886?

Maybe I should use "Version 2.7.0.0 for PCI devices" firmware?

Will check tomorrow.

This is my card:

# lspci -nn
(...)
00:02.0 Network controller [0280]: Intersil Corporation ISL3890 [Prism
GT/Prism Duette]/ISL3886 [Prism Javelin/Prism Xbow] [1260:3890] (rev 01)

According to http://prism54.org/newdrivers.html, my card is among the
supported devices, and I should use version 2.7.0.0 for PCI devices
firmware:

PCI Vendor (hex) PCI Product (hex) Common name
1260 3890 Generic ISL3890


It doesn't work and says "Your card/socket may be faulty, or IRQ line
too busy". With 2.7.0.0 firmware, it doesn't say "out of memory" anymore.

Are there more things to be done to make this card work?

I vaguely recall seeing an error like that when I used the wrong
firmware. What firmware are you using?

Hi,

I'm having the same problem with my Netgear WG511 (PCMCIA, SoftMAC version)
and Kernel 2.6.24.

With 2.6.23 and the drivers from http://www.linuxwireless.org (compat-wireless-2.6)
it works. At least most of the time. More or less regulary there is an ACPI
error message telling me that the IRQ of the card has been disabled. Then I
have to replug it to get it up again. I'm using the same firmware with both
kernels/drivers (v2.7.0.0).

Regards,
Reinhard Biegel
