Description:   Opened: 2004-02-17 14:57 0000 
Unfortunately prism54.org no longer carries the firmware needed for the
drivers:
http://prism54.org/firmware/

This means the ebuild doesn't work anymore.  Perhaps Gentoo can distribute
these files?


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. try to emerge /usr/portage/net-wireless/prism54/prism54-20040208.ebuild
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
failed because of missing firmware

i wouldn't expect gentoo to distribute these files if there are licensing
issues but it should be possible to automate downloading the windows package
and extracting the firmware from it.

how to get the firmware (1.0.4.3):

http://gnuisance.net/prism54/hints.txt

also, some older (1.0.3.0?) firmware can be found by unzipping this self extracting executable:

Okay, should be fixed in CVS. Please sync and test. See:
http://prism54.org/firmware/ for latest. Seems like the one dev has decided to
continue distributing them.
