Spectrum24 On 3.5.4.2 Rc2 (poodle)

In the discussions of the 3.5.4.2 release page (in the wiki), I asked months ago why my Symbol Low Power Spectrum24 LA-4137 card wouldn't load in OZ 3.5.4.2 while it does in Watapon Rom.

Someone responded with something along the lines of "You need to install prism3 support"

So I grabbed prism3-firmware and prism3-support from the feed browser, uploaded to SD card, then flashed to openzaurus. Once up and running, i basically ran "ipkg install prism3-firmware..." and it worked. Then I try to "ipkg install prism3-support..." and it reports an error, stating this package depends on hostap-utils.

I then tried to download hostap-utils from the feed browser, copy to SD, and install that. It worked (as in, it installed), so then i installed prism3-support. After all of that (and a reboot to be sure), the same problem happens: Whenever I plug the card in, "dmesg" reports errors regarding the fact that firmware sp24-fw couldn't be located.

Does anyone here have any pointers for me to try and find the cause of this?

I have a friend that has the exact same wifi card that runs 3.5.4.1 I beleive on a clamshell unit. He said he uses hostap as a driver, not spectrum/orinoco/hermes because he uses kismet, which works. Evidently, this would be my ultimate goal, I would rather have the hostap driver work with my card.

Regardless of the driver, I understand I still need to resolve my firmware problem, which is probably the only reason why the refault spectrum/orinoco/hermes drivers are not functioning.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have searched quite a lot on these forums, the wiki and googling, to no avail. Perhaps I am not expert enough to resolve this issue, but I would be very happy if someone could help me out a bit.

Even though opie on the poodle has a few glitches, I would be so happy to finally get openzaurus on my unit

Wanted: Screen Cover For Sl-5600 (translucent One)

I slightly dropped my 5600 on ceramic tiles from about 4 feet while the cover was open, so the transparent cover broke at one of the attaching points.

Anyone knows where I can find a replacement cover? Any stores? Or maybe someone with a bricked unit would be salvaging some components? Thanks in advance.

3.5.4.2 + Poodle + Spectrum24 = Lol

I've been running Watapon for quite some time, which supports my Symbol Spectrum24 LA-4137 Prism2-i-beleive wifi card. Unfortunately I have never been able to run kismet because of driver issues which i never got around of, but that's irrelevant.

I'm now testing the RC1 of OpenZaurus 3.5.4.2 with Opie GUI. When inserted, i do get a popup about the activation of the above mentionned card, but when i view the "network" config applet, or when I run ifconfig, I do not have anything interesting listed there.

Is it something that is not yet operational in the 2.6 kernel in 3.5.4.2 for poodle?
Is it a module/package I should install? If i knew which, I could copy it to a CF/SD card from which i'd install it after flashing.
Is it something that is simply above me? Perhaps some tampering in a shell would do it?

Thanks to anyone's input on this. And congrats to everyone involved on pushing the 2.6 kernel for the Poodle. I really love the form factor of this unit and was kinda sad to be "left behind" until now.

Wtb: Screen Cover 5600

Title says it all. I broke my 5600's screen cover (the transparent plastic flap-thing) and i'd like another one. Anyone has a bricked zaurus up for parts? I really want to replace this as I don't want to scratch my unit.
