Hello
I have, surprisingly, been able to compile the zd1211 driver for a USB stick I have for use with Cacko on my SL-C1000. It works perfectly, loading the module when I insert the stick, and I can connect to my WEP wireless lan with a little script I wrote calling ifconfig and iwconfig. The problem is that the Newtork applet in Cacko doesn't realize that a network device has been inserted, it doesn't give me the option to tap the "connect" button. It shouldn't be a big problem, but the mail application says that no connection is active, even if I can surf the web with Opera. Is there some kind of documentation explaining how the network applet works? Where does it look for a network device? any Qtopia guru can help? Thank you dproldan |

As a workaorund, you can try this:
in order to make your qtopia environment know that youare connected, type the command in a console: # qcop QPE/Network 'up()' and then the email program should work. HTH |

dproldan,
I would be interested in that driver and script if it would work with the stock sharp rom 1.01 JP on SL-C1000. Would you mind sharing, and how do you install it? Thanks, Doug |

Gracias zmiq2, that command didn't work for me, I will try later with more time. The qcop hint was very helpful anyway.
dougeeebear I made a ipk with the driver, the script and an icon for launching it. I have only tested it with Cacko 1.23 in a SL-C1000, use it at your own risk ![]() After installing, edit the file /opt/QtPalmtop/bin/zd1211script and modify all the YOUR_ESSID, YOUR_WEP_KEY, YOUR_IP, YOUR_NETMASK and YOUR_GATEWAY with your own data. You can now plug the USB stick, its LED should turn on for a few seconds and turn off. You will probably need a powered USB hub. Tap the Initialize USB Wifi in the Network tab, and you should be connected in a couple of seconds. Let me know it you can make it work! Daniel

Hi Daniel,
maybe with quotes?: qcop "QPE/Network" "up()" |

I've tried two USB sticks but, the power consumption is too high for the Zaurus so they don't work properly... :-( Cheers, Ludovic. |

Would you be kind enough to also compile for zd1211b (for Cacko/Sharp ROM) since it's much easier to find zd1211b dongles now! ![]() I'm about to buy such a dongle if the driver is available! Source: http://www.atheros.com/RD/ZyDAS/web_driver...2_15_0_0.tar.gz Or, kindly tell me how you compile the zd1211 driver ![]() (since I've tried but obviously unsuccessful! ![]() Many thanks! |

QUOTE(dproldan @ Jul 24 2006, 11:09 PM) Let me know it you can make it work! No luck for me :-( My device ids are 0ace:1211. I can't associate to any network and 'iwlist scan' returns nothing. Also 'iwconfig wlan0 channel 11' gives me an 'invalid argument' error. The only clues I have are 'Tx status: -110' log messages in the console. Do you have the module with debug enabled ? Cheers, Ludovic. |

The only clues I have are 'Tx status: -110' log messages in the console. Do you have the module with debug enabled ? Cheers, Ludovic. These are my experiences with a Yakumo Quickwlan USB 54 (zd1211b). I first started with the original driver from atheros webpage, but i wasn't able to get it compiled for 2.4.20 cacko. So i took the the source code from ldrolez's webpage. Thanks for that, ldrolez! After i modified the Makefile to fit to my environment, it compiled well using the cacko toolchain and the cacko 2.4.20 kernel sources. Result -> zd1211b.o ![]() Then i took the Yakumo USB stick, grabbed my C3100 and gave it a try. When the device was connected directly to usb port of z the 5V USB voltage dropped to 2.6V. So this is not a suitable solution. Although the voltage dropped that low i was able to scan for wireless network. Connecting failed! Next i made some measurements of the power consumption of the stick on an embedded device with stabilized 5V. Without a driver loaded it consumed about 65mA. After loading the driver the power consumption rised to ~180mA. During network scan it again rised up to ~195mA. All values refer to stabilized 5V. I'm sure these values can be taken for similar sticks (using the ZD1211b). I will do further experiments and post it here if you like ![]() @dproldan: Which sources did you use? As long as there are difficulties with attachments in here, would you please post the scripts directly, to verify my settings? Regards, scholbert |

QUOTE(zmiq2 @ Jul 25 2006, 12:30 AM) You may also want to monitor what is going on with a neat app called qcoptest which logs qcop messages, and enables you to 'test' whether your messages are effective. Also, some odd apps may use qpe/Network instead of QPE/Network, so you could try that. Channel names appear to be case-sensitive. I talked more about qcoptest, including it's home page url and a few download urls, etc, at http://www.sdjf.esmartdesign.com/ipks/qcoptest.html Good luck! sdjf |

Another possibility is if your version of qcop will not recognize command-line messages.
You could also try installing a compatible version of qcop2, which I have discussed a little and given it's home page urls, etc. at: http://www.sdjf.esmartdesign.com/ipks/qcop.html sdjf |
