Which firmware for Belkin F5D7050 (ISL3880 + NET2280)
Hi,
I have the Belkin F5D7050 WiFi card with the following chips:
1. NET2280 REV1A-LF
2. ISL3880IK
Which firmware should I use?
It seemed to me, that the proper choice is the:
USB 1st generation (ISL3886 + net2280) isl3886usb
download
<http://daemonizer.de/prism54/prism54-fw/fw-usb/2.13.24.0.lm86.arm>
However, when I try to use it, I get the following info in my logs:
usb 1-5: firmware: requesting isl3886usb
phy3: p54 detected a LM86 firmware
p54: rx_mtu reduced from 3240 to 2392
phy3: FW rev 2.13.24.0 - Softmac protocol 5.9
phy3: cryptographic accelerator WEP:YES, TKIP:YES, CCMP:YES
p54usb: probe of 1-5:1.0 failed with error -110
usbcore: registered new interface driver p54usb
Is this problem associated with the incorrect firmware version or with something else?

Hi,
I've managed to run my NIC with the older firmware:
http://daemonizer.de/prism54/prism54-fw/fw-usb/2.13.1.0.lm86.arm
Now I get the following output in dmesg:

phy0: Selected rate control algorithm 'minstrel' wlan0 (p54usb): not using net_device_ops yet
usbcore: registered new interface driver p54usb
Then everything works correctly.
So it seems, that the new firmware is just incompatible with this card :-(.

What about an LM87 firmware? It should be supported now...
