Open up the antenna end to expose the board, solder remove the antenna that's in place; small yellow brick looking thing. Purchase or build a RP-TNC pigtail (got mine off of a bricked Cisco Aironet 350) and solder this in place. The big pad I used for the sheath and the small pad I used for the core of the coax (it works (shrug)). The results in Kismet are very noticeable, I pick up APs a Kilometer or more away with my Zaurus Now the continued health of my Zaurus I know not. At the end I use cardboard with electrical tape to support the pigtail weight, it's slid under the card between it and the plastic case. Have fun.

Sl550 As An Access Point

I've created many access points with the hostap modules. I can't seem to get a client to associate to this here zaurus sl5500. Here's the basic testing lines...Oh, card is linksys wcf12.

zaurus
---------
ifconfig wlan0 10.0.0.1 up
iwconfig wlan0 essid kava
iwconfig wlan0 channel 6
iwconfig wlan0 mode master
iwconfig wlan0 key off

ifconfig wlan0 && iwconfig wlan0

wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0C:41:DD:67:DE
inet addr:10.0.0.1 Bcast:10.255.255.255 Mask:255.0.0.0

Warning: Driver for device wlan0 recommend version 18 of Wireless Extension,
but has been compiled with version 16, therefore some driver features
may not be available...

wlan0 IEEE 802.11b ESSID:"kava"

Kismet on future client sees him, open and ready for clients...

Then on client I do, as always and has worked till the zaurus testing...

ifconfig wlan0 10.0.0.2 up
/sbin/iwconfig wlan0 mode managed channel 6 essid kava key off

dmesg is status disconnected line after line...

This has always worked till now, so there's a gotcha in here somewhere with the zaurus, any clues forum?

thanks again,

Nmap Is A Pain

sl5500, OZ 3.5.3, latest opie

I've tried every nmap I can find, most install fine without errors. I can scan localhost, but anything else nmap hangs at the first output line "starting nmap ...". I'm thinking it might be a memory issue, I'm using the zImage-collie-32-32-20050407102515.bin image. I've tried all interfaces, eth0, usb0, wlan0.

Got any other thoughts?

thanks,
