Which wireless monitor? The one in the taskbar?

I would check what "cardctl ident 1" returns in the console. That will tell you if your card is recognized.

My Ma701 show me 2, one wifi0 on "cardctl ident 1", and wlan0 on "cardctl ident 0"

I can make #ifconfig wlan0 up.

They say tha i don't have any card.

Some one can help me to config my Ma701 on my zaurus Sl-3100?

Have you installed wlan-ng ipk for your distribution and tried lsmod to see if prism2_cs loads? I don't have the same Z as you, but I used to have a 5500 and used that CF WIFI card just fine.

Any one can put this Ma701 Netgear work on a SL-3100.

Its impossible to put it working on my zaurus, I try Qtopia and PdaXrom, and noting.

The Ma701 it is fine, and work on other devices, but on zaurus 3100 it is impossible.

Some one can help me.

There was a bit of discussion regarding the netgear ma701 in the pdaXrom subforum.
I did a search and got 11 threads.
https://www.oesf.org/forum/index.php?act=Se...e=netgear+ma701 (https://www.oesf.org/forum/index.php?act=Search&CODE=show&searchid=39b346feda3bb568fe898c1087332da4&search_in=posts&result_type=topics&highlite=netgear+ma701)

It seems that this card has the same MANFID as some other cards and uses a different driver than "those" cards.
This thread should help you get started. Check Meanie's response in this thread. Remember this is for pdaXrom, but the drivers are the same and the config files are very similar as Sharp/Cacko.
