I'm new to wireless networking. I got a WG511 (after looking at
prism54.org), Suse 9.1 identified it correctly. But it won't use the card.

Each time I boot, or try to bring the card up with ifconfig, I get this
error

eth1: islpci_open()
eth1: resetting device...
eth1: uploading firmware...
prism54: request_firmware() failed for 'isl3890'
eth1: could not upload firmware ('isl13890')

I have no idea what is going on, or how to deal with it. Please help.

Tony
