Title: Any Issues
Post by: laur on March 06, 2006, 11:11:11 pm
Well I got a new phone that does not have BT anymore, so I cant use that as my modem. So I went hunting on ebay and found a  DLINK DCF 660W 802.11b  at a good price.

I am using Cacko ROM v1.23 on  my C1000
Are there any got-cha's ?
1) Do I have to change anything to get it to work with Kismet?

2) What about the Wireless monitor that comes with Cacko

3) Any special settings for the network connection - I have access to an open WiFi router (yippeee)

4)Or can I just plug it in

i discovered problems with suspend mode with dcf 660w and cacko 1.23 on c3100. i eventually worked around it by doing the following (taken from my post in [a href=\"https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=17487&st=15):]https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showt...c=17487&st=15):[/url]

- NEVER use DISconnect
- use eject instead (eject icon provided or cardctl eject 0)
- in order to easily reconnect do the following:
- write short script "reconnect.sh":
#! /bin/sh
cardctl insert 0
- save to /usr/local/bin and chmod a+rwx reconnect.sh
- write desktop file for reconnect.sh or copy /home/QtPalmtop/apps/Applications/mc.desktop and modify this (e.g. "reconnect.desktop", Exec=reconnect.sh, Icon=transform, Name=Network Reconnect, etc.)
- sometimes you have to additionally click on "connect" to connect, sometimes it works automatically, i don't have a clue why, does anyone have one?

note: in my case updating firmware didn't help anything, you can read the whole story in the thread mentioned above

regards seb

Ok, well I am confused.
I got the DLink Card this evening and I plugged it into Gimlet and I can not get it to connect -
Here is what I have done

In Networks, I created a new Wireless-LAN TCP-IP service
On the Config tab I have Non-Spec ESS-ID "Any Checked"
WEP is disabled
PPPoE is not checked
Web Auth is not checked
TCP/IP is checked to obtain information automaticallY
DNS is checked to auto detect
Proxy is No Proxy.
I then click ok and the setup window closes
I click Connect, I see the lights on the card flashing and then I get... (wait for it)
.....Network Offline

Do I need to change any config files?
What should ?(unknown) config file have in it by default

Please be gentle with me, I am still new at this... but I have gotten perl to work so there is hope for me yet(yipppeee)
