Re: at76c503a With FC6 anyone?

OK so now I'm confused...

I briefly got the device to work. (I re-installed FC6 - this time without the xen module and this time it all seemed to install fine using the same at76c503 files as with FC5).

However - I was curious about what Pavel said:

So (with Internet access at last!) I updated from cvs.

The re-compile still complained about the missing config.h file. How do I "remove the references to linux/config.h"?

Moreover - although the build worked the module failed:
[mark@localhost ~]$ dmesg | grep at76
/wireless/at76c503a/at76c503.c: Atmel at76c50x USB Wireless LAN Driver 0.14dev loading
/wireless/at76c503a/at76c503.c: firmware atmel_at76c503-rfmd-acc.bin not found.
/wireless/at76c503a/at76c503.c: You may need to download the firmware from https://developer.berlios.de/projects/at76c503a/
at76_usb: probe of 2-1:1.0 failed with error -2
usbcore: registered new driver at76_usb
[mark@localhost ~]$

So I downloaded the firmware from https://developer.berlios.de/projects/at76c503a/ and put it into /lib/firmware.
For good measure I recompiled the driver and rebooted.

Now the module seems to load but - even with all the same settings (ESSID and WEP code) it does not seem to associate:

[root@localhost ~]# iwconfig
lo        no wireless extensions.

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks in advance.

p.s.

The firmware wouldn't change the MAC address of the device would it? I have my router set to control access by MAC address...
