Sl-c3000 Cacko Beta 1 Wireless Problems, Socket Spectrum24 LA4137 Options

[Daedelus]

I've spent the last Day and a half trying to get this card working in Cacko, I've searche around on the fourms and have found other people get it working properly, but when I try and follow the steps it dosn't work. I just flashed back from pdaxii13 where the card worked perfectly. Currently I can't get this card to work properly on my Cacko beta 1 install. I insert the card and it recognizes with the normal task bar alert. I've setup a profile specific to my network, and the connect button remains grayed out. Clicking current reveals that I have:

CODE

Avaible service.
Wireless Lan Service : Off Line
MAC Address :     MY:MA:CA:DD:RE:SS
AP Address:         (Blank)

heres what my spectrum.conf looks like

CODE

device "spectrum_cs"
#  class "network" module "hermes", "orinoco", "spectrum_cs"
  class "spectrum" module "hermes", "orinoco", "spectrum_cs"
#  class "hostap" module "hermes", "orinoco", "spectrum_cs"

card "Spectrum24 LA4100 Series WLAN PC Card"
  manfid 0x026c, 0x0001
  bind "spectrum_cs"

card "Socket Communications CF+ LP WLAN Card"
  manfid 0x0104, 0x0001
  bind "spectrum_cs"

Line 3 was added for testing purposes, I'll get to that a little further down.
I adjusted the card line to accurately reflect the line from cardctl ident.

Here's some command output.

Dmesg:

CODE

I'm not removing the card. That goes on for about 20 lines before the card hits suspend and the hermes module is unloaded

iwconfig:

cardctl resume

I get the folowing results if I swap the lines in spectrum.conf as follows.

#  class "spectrum" module "hermes", "orinoco", "spectrum_cs"
  class "hostap" module "hermes", "orinoco", "spectrum_cs"

Normal Insertion popup.
Current tab lists No available services in the current tab, and the connect button remains greyed out.

I am able to manually enter my ESSID, and WEP key to iwconfig in this state, and bring eth0 up with ifconfig. I am then able to ping off of google.ca, but when I attempt to access netfront, it tells me that I'm offline, and I don't have a properly setup profile.

Any help getting this matter resolved would be greatly appriciated. Thanks in advance =D

Well, I managed to dummy it up a bit and get connected. I changed the Spectrum.conf to the following

CODE

  class "network" module "hermes", "orinoco", "spectrum_cs"
#  class "spectrum" module "hermes", "orinoco", "spectrum_cs"
#  class "hostap" module "hermes", "orinoco", "spectrum_cs"

this seems to make the Z think that it's a wired connection, and I need to have a dummy wired connection in the network settings to make the connection work. I still have to enter ESSID and WEP key through iwconfig, so it's only really a partial work around. If anyone can let me know how to get this card working as a network card, it would be much appricated.

Thanks
