Greetings.

First off, thanks for the code and the work involved creating it.  It got
me started.  Unfortunately, started isn't finished, so here goes.

Xterasys 2422g was in the supported list, and I got a chance to snag a
couple of the suckers really cheaply.  Now, the hard part.  Is there a
different version of this card, perchance, that isn't compatible?  The card
works out of the box in two other laptops, under WinBlows
eXcruciatinglyPainful and WinSucks 98.

The vendor and device code don't match the items in the compatibility list.

After recompiling (2.4.24), patching(latest-CVS), and reading everything I
could find, the card still shows "unresolved firmware" when I attempt to
load it.  Am I maybe just missing a config somewhere (wireless.opts) or
something?

insmod reports

unresolved symbol release_firmware_R33934162
unresolved symbol request_firmware_R38ce5074

The isl3890 file is in the /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware directory.  I got it
from the .arm file on the Xterasys web site, and I also tried using the XP
driver .arm file from the CD-ROM that came with the card.

I'm using a Presario 1600 XL1 laptop.  Two different Cisco Aironet cards
work fine in it (my place of employment has an 11b net available for use -
the cards both detect upon insertion and load the correct drivers), as do
hard-wire ethernet cardbus cards (a D-Link 690TXD, for one).

The output of lspci (no options) shows
02:00.0 Network controller: Texas Instruments: Unknown device 9066

lspci -v -v -v -n gives the following for the card:

02:00.0 Class 0280: 104c:9066

Ye Olde Compatibilty List shows that I should get a subsystem ID of
17cf:0020 and a vendor/device code of 1260:3890.....  New card version?
Anybody able to show me where to buy a ticket on the clue bus?

LINUX _is_ user friendly. It's just picky about who its friends are.
