So, I bought an AmbiCom WL1100C-CF wifi card for my Cacko-running SL-C1000, having read about how great it is. Well, it's great, but the one I got has old firmware so doesn't support WPA-PSK. It works fine with WEP, but I ain't running that with my home network. So, I search the interwebs and find that there are firmware updates! Hooray! Now my hurdle: running hostap_diag wlan0 returns this:
CODE # hostap_diag wlan0 Host AP driver diagnostics information for 'wlan0' ioctl[PRISM2_IOCTL_HOSTAP]: Connection timed out Could not communicate with the kernel driver. # The same thing happens with wifi0 instead of wlan0. Cardctl gives me this: CODE # cardctl config 0 Vcc 0.0V Vpp1 0.0V Vpp2 0.0V # cardctl info 0 PRODID_1="AmbiCom" PRODID_2="WL1100C 802.11b CF-Card" PRODID_3="2.2" PRODID_4="" MANFID=d601,0002 FUNCID=6 # cardctl ident 0 product info: "AmbiCom", "WL1100C 802.11b CF-Card", "2.2" manfid: 0xd601, 0x0002 function: 6 (network) # cardctl status 0 3.3V 16-bit PC Card [suspended] # If I try to resume the card, it just goes back to suspended. Trying to reflash: CODE # prism2_srec -v wlan0 pk010101.hex sf010802.hex S3 CRC-16 generation record: start=0x007E17FE len=2 prog=0 [lots of goop about the firmware I'm not going to type] Start address 0x00000000 ioctl[PRISM2_IOCTL_HOSTAPD]: Connection timed out Missing wlan component info Could not read wlan RIDs # And ideas about how I can get hostap_diag to see this card so there's hope I can reflash it to a new enough version so it'll support WPA? I've scoured the forums and nobody else seems to have this problem. I've seen hints that the card's firmware can be updated with Windows, but I can't find out how. I have access to a Windows XP laptop that has a PC slot and I have a PC-to-CF adapter, so I'd happily upgrate the firmware with Windows if I could find out how. When I temporarily reset my network for WEP, the card works great. Asterix |
