Hello everybody,
First off, I'd like to introduce myself, names VirtusRex and I am the proud owner of a new Sharp Zaurus 760. My frist PDA was a Dell axim x5, then a x50v, and now it's 760 zaurus, which by the way is an amazing pda!
Ok on to business. I recently install Wellenreiter II, but can't seem to find any networks when I scan.
As mention before my unit is a Zaurus 760 running Pdaxrom with a symbol LA4137 wireless card.
Within Wellenreiter, under the configure dialog box I have the following settings:
Name: eth0
Driver: orinoco
Is this the righ setup? Has anybody else got Wellenreiter II working with a Symbol LA-4137 wireless card?
-
what revision is the symbol card? Look on the back. It will be a letter. Mine is a socket rev K.
-
Does that card work for normal connections?

OK, I found that simply copying the orinoco modules from Chris Bryden fixes the problem.
Simply
# cd /
# tar xzvf /location-of-file/orinoco-modules.tar.gz
Then pop in your card and away you go.
To get the card to go into monitor mode for kismet, you'll need to
# iwconfig eth0 mode monitor
It's the same for Wellenreiter.
I had the same problem but after these changes it's works over here on C-1000 with symbol LA4137 wireless card

Ok, I download the orinoco-modeles.tar.gz from Chris Bryden web site and run the code exactly.
The orinoco-modeles.tar.gz uncompressed no problem, but when I ran 'iwconfig eth0 mode monitor' I got the following error:
Error for wireless request "Set mode" (8B06) :
SET failed on device eth0: Invalid argument.
I have no problem running Kismet, just can't run Wellenreiter. [ You are not allowed to view attachments ] [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Thanks for the fast reply guys, much appreciated.
I've also attached some pics of my Symbol card. I can't seem to find where the Rev number is located?
-
my mistake. I was thinking bluetooth.
is there a commandline equivelant to cardctl ident?
it does look like my rev a card. I think the newer socket/symbols are more squarish.

One more thing, I'm running rom version 1.1.0beta1, and I noticed that 1.1.0beta2 has some Symbol fixes in the change log:
Changelog SL-C7x0
fixed unresolved symbol in hostap module
kernel updated to 2.4.20
new MMC/SD driver
kernel updated with cacko patches
Should I switch from 1.1.0beta1 to 1.1.0beta2?

Not sure if you must flash with beta2, I can just tell you that I am running beta2 on C1000 and the method I gave you works. Moreover the link I provided is about beta2, so I think it's a good thing to do, you could even flash to beta3 right away.

Sounds like a plan, where is the download link for beta3 package???
-
Definately you should update to Beta 2 or 3. To get Beta 1 to work with my Symbol, I had to compile a custom kernel without the orinoco drivers and then install Chris' orinoco drivers. No need for custom kernel with Beta2 & 3
Beta 3 for C760:
http://mail.pdaxrom.org/contrib/1.1.0beta3/Zaurus-7x0-860/ (http://mail.pdaxrom.org/contrib/1.1.0beta3/Zaurus-7x0-860/)
Good luck,
Jerry

Thanks jerrybme,
I was able to download the initrd.bin and tools.tar files, but the updater.sh file gives me this message when I try to download it:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /contrib/1.1.0beta3/Zaurus-7x0-860/updater.sh on this server.
Any ideas??
Thanks again.

Yes, this is not a problem, just use the updater from beta1, it hasn't changed.
Cheers,
