Hi,
I have a Belkin K7SF5D7050 NIC, which is supposed to work with the
p54usb driver.
The original driver may be found here:
http://www.belkin.com/support/article/?lid=en&aid=5381
When I extract the original firmware with the fwextract3 tool, I get the
firmware which, when copied to the
/lib/firmware/isl3890usb causes the following information to be logged
into /var/log/messages (I use the kernel 2.6.28.7):
Mar 1 14:35:21 wzab kernel: usb 2-2.1: new full speed USB device using
uhci_hcd and address 5

Then the modprobe fully occupies one core of my CPU. The only thing I
can do is the hard reset (even shutdown or reboot doesn't work)
I have tried also the another versions of the firmware, which gave the
following results:
FW rev 2.4.3.4 - Softmac protocol 0.1 - modprobe hangs
FW rev 2.5.6.0 - Softmac protocol 3.0 - modprobe hangs
FW rev 2.13.1.0 - Softmac protocol 5.5 - modprobe hangs

FW rev 2.4.3.7 - Softmac protocol 0.1 - modprobe hangs
FW rev 2.13.24.0 - Softmac protocol 5.9 - doesn't load, error -110
Below is the more detailed copy of messages obtained from
/var/log/messages (also with the messages originating
from the blocked khubd process).

Then the modprobe also hanged fully occupying one CPU core.
After removal of the NIC, the following message appeared:

and another error message
started to appear periodically in the /var/log/messages:
