alright,
i have a planex gw-cf11h that i bought with my 3200 from conics and a Socket Go Wi-fi! p500 that i bought to replace the planex. none of the above work, I'm using cacko, the original ROM didn't display any text at all in the network setup menu just boxes.
i get "unsupported card" for both.

I assume you unpacked the .zip file to get an .ipk file?
-
ahh, i see. i will try that as soon as i get my .sys files in the proper hdd partitions. the cp command is not working for me.

yep. no luck

Plug in the wireless LAN card and using su mode:
Activate "lsmod" to check wether that p80211 and prims2_cs modules are there.
Activate "cardctl ident" to obtain the identity of the card.
- Please post the details here and it should look like:
product info: "Wireless LAN", "11Mbps PC Card", Version 01.02", ""
manfid: 0x0156, 0x0002
function: 6 (network)
Next check whether the card identity is in /etc/pcmcia/wlan-ng.conf. If it is not, add the following (according to the information obtained from card's identity):
card "Wireless LAN"
manfid 0x0156, 0x0002
bind "prism2_cs
Reboot to see whether Zaurus can detect it.

i do not have p80211 and prims2_cs modules
card ident looks like
Socket 0:
product info: "PLANEX COMMUNICATIONS INC.", "PLANEX GW-CF11H Wireless CF Card",""
manfid: 0xd601, 0x0005
Function: 6 (network)
and i can not find Wlan-ng.conf in midnight commander, however i do have a wlan-ng.opts ad a green *wlan-ng
i do not know how to edit these

Use the following commands to install both modules:
insmod p80211
insmod prims2_cs
I have added your card identity in the wlan-ng.conf file which will be sent to you via PM. just copy it to /etc/pcmcia.
Reboot the Zaurus and good luck.
-
Problem uploading the wlan-ng.conf, please send me your email address via PM and I will send you using my personal email account.

zip it into a zip file, then you can post it here for Matthewmongan
Matthewmongan, go to ELSI at the top of this forum and download Zeditor
[a href=\"http://www.elsix.org/index.php?w=project&p=1124]http://www.elsix.org/index.php?w=project&p=1124[/url]
It's a text editor that you can edit conf files with.
Once installed, click and hold it's icon, then a properties dialog will pop up.
Select "Execute with root privilege"

alright i got th conf into the /etc/pcmcia/ but when i do insmon p80211 or prims2_cs i get an error no such module.

if it's a prism card, surely you'd be better off using the hostap driver because that would give you WPA and not just WEP.
-
try the following:
insmod /lib/moudles.rom/2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix(for my SL-5600, yours might be a bit different)/net/p80211.o
insmod /lib/moudles.rom/2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix(for my SL-5600, yours might be a bit different)/pcmcia/prism2_cs.o

I am very sure that the network configuration tool on my SL-5600 was not functioning well with my wireless LAN card.
Mind sharing how to configure WPA.

hi, this has been done to death, just search for WPA. but to help u get started, here's how:
1/ change your configuration to bind the hostap_cs driver instead of prism2 in the pcmcia config files
2/ create the wifi config using gui tool, no WEP. exit to save
3/ manually edit wlan-ng.opts and add "WPA=y" to the correct section
4/ create an /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
see this for more info

Thanks for the pointer.

Thanks so much for all the help posted in this topic! I had the same problem as Matthewmongan: C3200 with Cacko 1.23 and the Planex GW-CF11H card. Just wanted to report that your advice solved my problems, though the solution was easier than it seemed reading through the post. With Cacko 1.23 I didn't need the Prism3 drivers, nor the modules mentioned. Also, it seems that the wlan-ng.conf file (also missing on my file list) can be worked around by adding the identity of the card to the hostap_cs.conf file instead. Seems to have been a quick and easy fix. I just opened hostap_cs.conf in Midnight Commander and using the vi editor added the following:
card "PLANEX GW-CF11H Wireless CF Card"
version "PLANEX COMMUNICATIONS INC.", "PLANEX GW-CF11H Wireless CF Card", ""
manfid 0xd601, 0x0005
bind "hostap_cs"
On reboot the Planex card was properly detected, so I assume everything is good to go. Just wanted to post my own experience in the hopes that it may assist others like me (with zero background and very little knowledge) to troubleshoot similar problems.
