Title: Wireless Problems On Cacko/ Tk Roms
Post by: Airwolf on September 14, 2005, 02:21:27 am
Hi everyone

I made the big mistake last week and re flashed my 5500 in an effort to get Wellenreiter to work. Now i get different results everytime i flash either Cacko or TheKompanyROM.


My setup:
SL5500
256 SD card, 64m CF
Pretec WLAN
Cacko 64/0 or theKompany alpha3 32/30
updated Cacko kernel with either 64/0 or 32/30 depending on base install.

After flashing i add

Card "Pretec CompactWLAN 802.11"
manfid 0x0156, 0x0002
bind "prism2_cs"

to wlan-ng.conf

I define a new WLAN setup

Now sometimes i get the network applet, sometimes not. If i don't the card lights up immediately but iwconfig shows nothing.

If i do get the applet when i try to connect i get the Card light flashing and initializing, for a few seconds and then it dies.

Cardctl ident correctly identifes the card

As i said i get different results with each flash.

any help greatly appreciated
