Thanks to the help from Michael Wu (the p54 driver author) I found out that the firmware that Feisty uses is not the one supposed to be used with p54.

Michael suggested to use a newer firmware. I tried 2.5.6.0 from http://jbnote.free.fr/prism54usb/PrismFirmwares.html and it worked.

What worked here was to copy the file http://jbnote.free.fr/prism54usb/data/firmwares/p54u_2.5.6.0.arm over /lib/firmware/`uname -r`/isl3890usb.

To find out what is the version of the isl* firmwares on your system you can just use the following:
$ for i in /lib/firmware/`uname -r`/isl*; do echo "$i:"; strings $i | grep Vers ; echo -ne "\n\n"; done

Now, should the package be fixed in the updates repo? (I'm asking because I'd like to know how "The Process" works :-) )
