Title: Pcmcia Wi-fi Card
Post by: offthefront on April 19, 2006, 05:22:12 am

I'm trying to use one of my pcmcia wireless cards with my c3100 under the latest pdaxrom (1.1.0 beta3).

I've got 3 of them, SMC2632W, Dlink-650 and ZoomAir although they all report themselves as the same under a cardctl ident, with manfid: 0x0156, 0x0002.

I've tried the hostap and the orinoco drives, but I don't seem to get a device. /var/log/messages has "get dev info on socket 0 failed"

Does anyone have one of these cards working under pdaxrom and what is your configuration?

Are they 3.3v??  If they are 5v then I think it will see them, but not be able to actually use them.

Really good point. I forgot to check that and sure enough, they're all 5v.
Oh well. Thanks anyway!
