@Chase:

Thank you. I have installed linux-firmware-nonfree-1.6 and confirm that
the internal wireless is now detected and (mostly) functional.

A couple of observations:
1) In Ubuntu 9.10 the ISL3890/ISL3886 did not require the nonfree package.
2) The driver contained in linux-firmware-nonfree-1.6 does not report
signal strength accurately. All networks appear at 100% signal strength.
I already have an open bug on this issue for 9.10 and will amend it to
include 10.04a3 as well. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/441780
