Title: Beta4 And Ambicom Wifi Issue C1000
Post by: Andmann on July 03, 2006, 12:09:52 am
Hi all,

I just installed Beta 4, which went perfectly well, no issues.
I have an Ambicom 802.11b card which is recognized by the system and comes up as:
WL1100C 302.11B CF-Card 2.2

The card light flashed on and off as if it is searching, just like it did with other roms.
It doesn't link to any network. I have tried 3 different networks and nothing.
2 of them are open networks and one is wep.

I ran dmesg and I get the following when I insert the card.
PCMCIA card inserted into slot 0
registering new device pcmcia0.0
hostap_cs: setting Vcc=33 (constant)
hostap_cs: setting Vcc=33 (from config)
checking CFTABLE_ENTRY 0x01 (default 0x01)
IO window settings: cfg->io.nwin=1 dflt.io.nwin=1
io->flags = 0x0046, io.base=0x0000. len=64
hostap_cs: Registered netdivice wifi0
hostap_cs: index 0x01: Vcc 3.3 irg 137, io -xc4820000-0xc482003f
prism2_hw_init: initialized in 200ms
wifi0: NIC: id=0x800c v1.0.0
wifi0: PRI: id=0x15 v1.0.7
wifi0: STA:id=0x1f v1.3.6
wifi0: defaulting to host-based encryption as workaround for firmware bug in host AP mode WEP
wifi0: defaulting to bogus WDS frame as a workaround for firmware bug in Host mode WDS
wifi0: registered netdevice wlan0

-- ffeewww--- now that was some typing..

when I run ifconfig it only brings up lo, there is not other listings

I also have a symbol card but that doesn't even light up with beta4 so that is why I am trying to get this one working.

Once I get this working I want to get it attached to my WAP network but that is for another day.

Thanks in adavanced.

Symbol Spectrum24 CF card will work in beta4... it just required the firmware to be placed in the correct place...

Look Here (https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=19301&st=135&p=127294&#entry127294)


This post shows you where to place the firmware and supplies the firmware also...

Thanks, I now get the flashing light on the symbol card too, but still no connectivity.
It is now working the same as my ambicom card..
Just a flashing light.
dmesg has several entrys with eth0 which all look good.
second last one says "ready"
Firmware on the card comes up as 3.91-71
Not sure if this helps.

thanks in adavance again.
