Title: Poodle + Upgrade
Post by: cstrand1 on April 10, 2006, 04:27:54 pm: Hello all,

I am running 3.5.4 on my poodle.

I just ran ipkg update ; ipkg upgrade and it upgraded quite a few packages.

I rebooted it and it told me that I was running the wrong kernel. That I need to be running one that ended in 3.5.4.1-alpha. Well, it booted into opie fine, except my Ambicom WL1100 Wifi card is not recognized.

A side note: I dual boot (altboot) and run gpe off of my SD card. Same problem with that as well.

What have I done?

Chuck

Here is the output.

Socket 0:
product info: "AmbiCom", "WL1100C 802.11b CF-Card", "2.2"
manfid: 0xd601, 0x0002
function: 6 (network)
Socket 1:
no product info available

In Opie, when selecting the card applet, the popup states "unsupported card" and when selecting configure, it tells me that it is not bound to a driver.

Prior to the upgrade the card worked without any problems, both in opie and gpe.

Thank you,
Chuck

I installed the into the Opie install and that worked great!

It did not work, however, in my Gpe install. I assigned the orinoco driver, but to no avail.

Post by: Hrw on April 11, 2006, 10:38:56 am: can you be more verbose?

you booted opie installation, added hostap-conf r1 and card was working

then you booted gpe installation, not used hostap-conf r1 and complain that card is not working?

I am sorry that I was not more clear.

You are correct regarding the Opie installation. Everything works well.

As for GPE, I booted into it and installed the hostap package, just I did in the Opie. It did not work with the package you said to try. Under settings, I used the PC card app and tried assigning the orinoco_cs driver to it and it reports that socket 0 has the Ambicom card and the driver assigned. It still does not work.

Do the hostap and hostap_cs modules need to be loaded in gpe as they are in opie? They are not loaded in my installation of gpe. I may go back and reinstall gpe, see what's configured prior to doing an update.

I actually never thought to check before, but the modules are not loaded in the default rom (I haven't upgraded yet since the new modules came out).

Code: [Select]

Maybe that's part of my (unreported, undiagnosed) problem connecting with WEP @ home. I hadn't had the time to fifgure that one out.

I actually just got it to work as well. What I did was start the PC/CF card application and assign the hostap_cs driver to my card. Now, that driver is not listed in the dropdown, so I typed it in manually. After that it worked like it should.

Now, looking at the /etc/pcmcia/hostap_cs.conf, it shows my Ambicom WL1100C card bound to hostap_cs. I noticed that under /etc/pcmcia, the file "config" had a modified date of today. In looking at that file, I see my Ambicom WL1100 card bound to hostap_cs. I rebooted and it worked as I would expect.

[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=122956\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

I am going to assume what was added to /etc/pcmcia/config.

It actually is the same format as hostap_cs.conf. I am including the lines prior to it as well.

# Include configuration files for add-on drivers

source ./*.conf

# Include local configuration settings

source ./config.opts

card "AmbiCom WL1100C 802.11b CF-Card"
manfid 0xd601, 0x0002
bind "hostap_cs"

If there is something else you needed, let me know.
