[Bug 549383] Re: WUSB54G not working out of the box

[Jan Hoffmann]

The package prism2-usb-firmware-installer seems to install a wrong
version of the firmware and uses the wrong name. When renaming the file
/lib/firmware/ru010803.fw to isl3887_usb dmesg gives the following
error:

you are using an obsolete firmware. visit http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/p54 and grab one for "kernel >= 2.6.28"!
[ 1937.148003] phy4: cryptographic accelerator WEP:no, TKIP:no, CCMP:no

If downloading the firmwares from daemonizer.de through prism2-usb-
firmware-installer would be ok (downloading from an git repository
really isn't very different), I would suggest that the package downloads
the listed on http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/p54#firmware

By the way, when plugging in the dongle first, the hardware drivers icon
appeared in the notification area, but when opening the hardware drivers
application it didn't find any drivers for it. Maybe there's an bug too,
and the package prism2-usb-firmware-installer should be listed as driver
there?
