Title: Firstime Pdaxrom With C3200
Post by: ethan on September 14, 2006, 05:03:29 am

Hi,

before pdaXrom, i used original sharp rom and cacko rom
this is my first try with pdaXrom on my C3200
the interface is great and make pda to more like mobile pc

I found some command are a little different

iwconfig [interface] on/off
is not accept, I can setup my wireless working
what ever I change the /etc/sysconfig/wireless or run command like

iwconfig [wifi0/wlan0] essid [myessid] key s:[mywepkey] [2] open

there are wifi0 and wlan0 in pdaXrom, I can see the differnet and don't know why there are two of the interface, so I both tried

and I use second wep key, so key index is 2

there's no error message, but it still not work

swapon [swapfile]
got an invalid argument error message

there's no man page and I don't know exactly theres params do
swapon -[a/v/h] ....

Am I asking a newbie question  
I've been seach OE and google from other webs
but the keywords are to common to google

This page (http://www.daniel-hertrich.de/zaurus/zps_pdaxrom/setup.txt) may help you with some issues.
This is my journal of my own pdaxrom setup.

Not well formatted yet, but if you search for a keyword, you will find the section where it is described.

Once my setup is mature enough and doesn't need too much changes anymore, I'll offer the information in a nicer format.

Well, Wifi configuration should be straightforward using the LAN/Wifi  app under "System tools". No command line tools needed (except you want to switch between schemes).
If Wifi doesn't work after configuring via that app, maybe you have a WIfi card which needs firmware download.
Check if "dmesg" says anything about missing primary firmware or something like that.
My page describes what I have done for a Planex card which needs sucha firmware download each time it is inserted. Works very reliably.
