9 I have a Flybook with a Prism 3 usb adapter and I have been succesfully
10 using linux-wlang-ng with it. Following your suggestion I tried
11 orinoco-cvs and this is what dmesg gives me:
12
13 usbcore: registered new driver prism_usb
14 usb 2-3: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 7
15 prism_usb_hard_reset - dummy
16 prism_usb_init - dummy
17 prism_usb_init - dummy
18 prism_usb_allocate - dummy
19 prism_usb_read_ltv - dummy
20 eth1: Cannot read hardware identity: error -95
21 eth1: Incompatible firmware, aborting
22 prism_usb: Cannot register network device
23 prism_usb: probe of 2-3:1.0 failed with error -95
24
25 I know linux-wlan-ng has its problems but it might still be the only
26 working driver for some people with usb devices. I am willing to take
27 maintership if they one day accept me as a dev. I am currently in
28 mentoring with the java herd. You can contact me as betelgeuse@freenode.
