Tested on WLCB-54GT and SuSE 9.3 on 27 Oct 2005

Install Corega WLCB-54GT (11g/54Mbps, PrisumGT) on SuSE 9.3 (kernel2.6)

SuSE 9.3 could not detect my 11g PCMCIA card (Corega WLCB-54GT) saying,

# /etc/init.d/network restart

So I have downloaded the latest firmware for the Linux prism54 driver from http://100h.org/wlan/linux/prismgt/ into /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/ and rename it

# cd /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/
# wget http://100h.org/wlan/linux/prismgt/1.0.4.3.arm
# mv 1.0.4.3.arm isl3890

Note: isl (India, Siera, Lima)
That is all I have done. Then you configure by YaST and will work fine.
