    Ive upgraded from 2.6.9-rc4-mm1 to 2.6.10-rc1-mm2 and now the firmware
    loader seems broken. I have an internal wlan-adapter that runs the
    ipw2200-driver and I get errors when trying to load the firmware.
    Then I tried my prism54-based card and got the following errors in dmesg:

    Loaded prism54 driver, version 1.2
    PCI: Enabling device 0000:03:00.0 (0000 -> 0002)
    ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:03:00.0[A] -> GSI 6 (level, low) -> IRQ 6
    eth1: resetting device...
    eth1: uploading firmware...
    prism54: request_firmware() failed for 'isl3890'
    eth1: could not upload firmware ('isl3890')
    eth1: islpci_reset: failure

    The firmware files are in place and both these cards with drivers have
    worked fine before. Config attached
