WLAN problem

Hi. 

I've just installed OpenSuse 10.3 on my media center. 
It used to be Ubuntu 7.10 and there WLAN worked with a little handy
work. 

In other words I had to "blacklist prism54" in
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.

I've done this on OpenSuse 10.3 too, but no luck. 

Yast just says: 

Wireless Network Card (not connected)
BusID : 0000:03:04.0
Unable to configure the network card because the kernel device is not
present

And I can not use "lshw -C network" to trouble shoot as I did on
Ubuntu.

Please help me. 
I want to run OpenSuse.

Kind regards J;-)

Hi
Have you tried with the blacklist entry removed?
Have a look here, you may need to follow the ndiswrapper link.

I'd rather get it working with the firmware that is avaliable for my
card:


Code:
--------------------
    
  Vendor: pci 0x1260 "Intersil Corporation"
  Device: pci 0x3890 "ISL3890 [Prism GT/Prism Duette]/ISL3886
[PrismJavelin/Prism Xbow]"
  
--------------------


But how do I install the Firmware?

From the Wiki:
"You need to download the firmware, version 1.0.4.3, for the ISL3890 from
the following URL http://prism54.org/fullmac.html

and saved the firmware file as isl3890 (no Capitals) in the /lib/firmware/
directory. I used in KDE KMenu/System/FileManager/ FileManager-SuperUserMode to
download/save the firmware. "

Hi 

The files is saved to /lib/firmware/

What du I do next?
Should it work just by copying a file?
