Title: Wireless?
Post by: speculatrix on May 11, 2007, 05:43:42 pm

Seems that OpenBSD is becoming a real force to be reckoned with on the Zaurus with firefox2 running on it (I tried Angstrom but none of the web browsers run at all!)... my first question is whether I could use my prisms2 CF wifi card and get WEP and WPA/PSK encryption to work?

Congrats for achieving so much, I am truly impressed.

following this guide, i'm unable to have wifi working on my wep protected home network.

on initial ping my_pc, i have:
sendto: no route to host

then i typed:
route add default 192.168.1.1

then ping my_pc gave me:
sendto: host is down

help! F1

New question:

I find that if I ifconfig wi0 down and take away the wifi CF, plugging it in again fails to connect to the network. ifconfig wi0 up doesn't do. Reboot gets it working again. Any hint?
