Hi,

When I got the following problem :

Code:

laptop-stijnb stijnb # ifconfig eth1 up
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not permitted
laptop-stijnb stijnb # /etc/init.d/net.eth1 start
 * Starting eth1
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not permitted
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not permitted
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not permitted
 *   Configuring wireless network for eth1
 *   Looks like there was a probem loading the firmware for eth1          [ !! ]
laptop-stijnb stijnb #


when I run
ls /lib/firmware
I get
ISL3890
it worked before so the firmware and drivers use to work, but I don't know what triggered this problem!

Do you have the prism54 module loaded?
isl3890is executeable in my /lib/firmware (maybe this helps)
What gives dmesg ?

Hi,

thx for the reply!
I did load the module (modprobe prism54)
and isl3890 is present @ /lib/firmware
I will post the dmesg output later, cz I am not currently at my own computer :)
