Plug in the wireless LAN card and using su mode:
Activate "lsmod" to check wether that p80211 and prims2_cs modules are there. Activate "cardctl ident" to obtain the identity of the card. - Please post the details here and it should look like: product info: "Wireless LAN", "11Mbps PC Card", Version 01.02", "" manfid: 0x0156, 0x0002 function: 6 (network) Next check whether the card identity is in /etc/pcmcia/wlan-ng.conf. If it is not, add the following (according to the information obtained from card's identity): card "Wireless LAN" manfid 0x0156, 0x0002 bind "prism2_cs Reboot to see whether Zaurus can detect it. |

Use the following commands to install both modules:
insmod p80211 insmod prims2_cs I have added your card identity in the wlan-ng.conf file which will be sent to you via PM. just copy it to /etc/pcmcia. Reboot the Zaurus and good luck. |

Once installed, click and hold it's icon, then a properties dialog will pop up. Select "Execute with root privilege" |

if it's a prism card, surely you'd be better off using the hostap driver because that would give you WPA and not just WEP.

try the following:
insmod /lib/moudles.rom/2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix(for my SL-5600, yours might be a bit different)/net/p80211.o insmod /lib/moudles.rom/2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix(for my SL-5600, yours might be a bit different)/pcmcia/prism2_cs.o |

I am very sure that the network configuration tool on my SL-5600 was not functioning well with my wireless LAN card. Mind sharing how to configure WPA. |
