I posted a very similar question in the openzaurus forum, here.
Hopefully, someone will have an idea that can help us both. |

Hi,
QUOTE(wayne @ Apr 21 2007, 06:57 PM) I posted a very similar question in the openzaurus forum, here. Hopefully, someone will have an idea that can help us both. I finally found the firmware in the image files for pdaxii3. I don`t know why it`s not available separate. IMHO there`s no big difference between a distribution of the firmware in an image and a package. The firmware worked but I had to use the orinoco drivers from the file orinoco_modules.tar.gz. regards Bernd |

You can get the firmware with this tool: https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.p...ckage_id=162521 (Run "get_symbol_fw" and you'll get the two firmware files  )

Do you know where I should copy the firmware files? I tried placing them in: /etc/pcmcia and /etc/pcmcia/cis and it's still not finding them. I guess there's a default place for the firmwares to be put, i just can't find it... |

GOT IT! Found a thread in tyranozaurus forum.
I had to create /lib/firmware and then place the files there. Voila! Thanks a MILLION, ZDevil. I've been dying to get openzaurus working on my poodle for YEARS! All I need to do now is set up my wep key for my AP... |

did you try and get WPA working? I had a spectrum24 (branded as socket/symbol) card long ago and gave up, was told it didn't work, needed hostap instead, but am curious if someone found a way to work.
