Title: Wpa On C3000 With Planex Wifi Cf?
Post by: KwaiFeh on April 06, 2005, 02:57:10 pm

I bought myself a C3000 last week (my first Zaurus...this thing ROCKS!)  and I bought the Planex GW-CF11X wifi card when I was visiting Japan.  

I'm at my sister's place and she has a Wifi LAN with WPA encryption.   I looked up info on this on the web but all i can find is stuff in japanese (I can't read Japanese, and I cant understand the web translations... yup you guessed it i'm a n00b to Zaurus...)

I found there's a file to download linux-wlan-ng_0.2.1pre26-c3000-1_arm.ipk but that doesnt seem to add wpa encryption.

Any comments and suggestions would be highly appreciated.  BTW, I do have knowledge on computers and networks, but my skills aren't admin level.

Thanks in advance.

The 3000 has W13 wireless extensions in the stock Kernel, they don't support WPA.

I think you need a minumum of W15 with updates to the wireless utilities to support this... maslovsky can probably answer this better.

Basically some heavy hacking.

Thank you Andy.  I'll just have to wait a few more days till i get home to try out the wifi.
