Help with wireless usb 3com

[javierg]

Hi community... I'm using ubuntu hardy on my desktop and i have connected a 3com 3crwe254g72 usb wireless adapter. It recognized fine, i make install of ndiswrapper for the driver but it doesn't work.

I did:
1.- Installation of ndiswrapper
2.- # sudo ndiswrapper -i driver.inf
3.- # sudo ndiswrapper -l
3c254g72 : driver installed.
device (0506:0A11) present (alternate driver p54usb)
4.- # sudo depmod -a
5.- # sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
6.- # sudo gedit /etc/modules and add ndiswrapper to the end of the file.

But if I do # ifconfig or # iwconfig the adapter not appear.

Why ?, i dont now.

Please, some help?

Thanks and sorry for my english =)

Got it working without ndiswrapper from this guide.

Essentially this is it:
Download prism54 firmware. For the 0506:0a11, the 2.13.1.0.lm86.arm worked.

Rename and move 2.13.1.0.lm86.arm to /lib/firmware/isl3886usb
sudo mv 2.13.1.0.lm86.arm /lib/firmware/isl3886usb

Load the driver
sudo modprobe p54usb

Now it should be working.

This would be great but the download link for 2.13.1.0.lm86.arm now is broken, can anyone help? I arrived here searching for an alternative donwload resource for that firmware. By the way here's explaind the same procedure:
