I think there's a Sharp/Cacko driver floating around somewhere. Otherwise, it's possible you need a powered USB hup for it to even be recognized (you do for it to work).

I have used the function  "search" of the forum, but I have not found nothing.    any ideas?

 I think the quickest answer is to be found by searching on Meanie's site. I'm not sure if he has it there for download. But you should find some useful advice about how to get it.

You shouldn't need a powered hub to run it.   My lan dongle works fine without one.

 I have a Sitecom Network USB Adapter, Model number LN-013 and it works fine without one. This chipset is RTL8150, which I think is the same family as yours. So should work?  

Searching this site for RTL8150 should also be a help.

HTH, HAND

Your USB Wi-Fi dongle works without a powered hub? Or is it a wired dongle?

I'm sorry, the above was for tux.

I would try to compile the driver, should it not exist, but every driver I've tried to build for Cacko hasn't worked.

   Apologies to both of you, I was speed reading and missed the wifi bit! Yes it is a wired dongle. Do wifi dongles all require a powered hub?  What about Bluetooth ones?

Plenty of suitable hubs available, cheap and small too.   Try googling for the driver in combination with Zaurus or with arm.You might be lucky enough to find someone has compiled it already. Good Luck!  

However the compile your own driver route is probably the way to go if you can't google a Zaurus one somewhere. Good luck!
