The driver loads - the firmware loads - eth2 (which the prism54 driver creates instead of wlan0) shows up as NOT READY in iwconfig - then 'ifconfig eth2 up' and suddenly has eth2 under iwconfig shows "no wireless extensions". ifconfig eth2 down then removing the prism54 and firmware_class modules then hangs the box. I have some questions up at the prism54 forum.
