Problem With R121 And Sl-c860 Options

[pyknite]

hi there...

i tried yesterday to install the new version r121... I put the u-boot on my zaurus 860 and install r121... all work great... but my wifi card (an asus) doesn't work

when i put him in the slot, it is recognised by the mount tools, and the led on the card light on and off...

i create a new profile named "wireless" but i can't connect

is there a solution?

and it's possible to install older version of pdaxrom (like the beta1 (because my wifi card work with this version)) with u-boot or i need to restore the original nan flash util??

thx all

I know with r121 the Lan and Wifi program does not work correctly. Your better off running a script to get it working. Check out this thread

it may help starting off. I know the pdaXrom website has sample scripts too. A further search will say something like a service for the latest kernel is not the same that the program reference too.

Hope that helps.

hi... thx for answer

but wich script do you speak about?

thx

no more ideas???

I know this doesn't really help you, but FWIW I'm in the same boat as you. I haven't been able to get my SMC card working in r121 (see details here). Since the last post I've made there & reflashed r121 & am working on other stuff. If somebody does have a solution I think we'd both love to hear it.

but wich script do you speak about?

Here's a direct copy from pdaxrom.org:

I have made some scripts for loads and configure my Zaurus network gadgets.

eth0.up

CODE

#!/bin/bash
ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.5 up
route add default gw 192.168.0.1
echo "nameserver 192.168.0.1" > /etc/resolv.conf
ifconfig eth0

wlan0.up

CODE

#!/bin/sh
ifconfig wlan0 down
iwconfig wlan0 essid ESSIDNAME mode managed key XXXXXXXXXX channel NN power on

EDIT: You may need to add "dhcpcd wlan0" to the end of the script to get it to work.

thx

Here's the script I wrote on the link I posted earlier

#!/bin/sh
echo "Resetting Wireless"
ifconfig wlan0 down
rm /var/run/dhcpcd-wlan0.pid
sleep 1
echo "Turning Up Network"
ifconfig wlan0 up
iwconfig wlan0 essid Core mode managed key ##########
dhcpcd wlan0
sleep 5
ifconfig wlan0

It's probably not the best. But it worked for me.

ok, thx for answer... must i change the "###############" for the key?

thx

[harvell]

Yup... and change the ssid as well. "Core" is the one I have set at home.

[pyknite]

ok thx, but i have no key on my router... i put none? or i just put that:iwconfig wlan0 essid Core mode managed
thx

[pyknite]

[pyknite]

Holding down the Fn or shift key while clicking should work.
Give it a try.
