if you put it in your zaurus and tell us the output of "cardctl ident", "cardctl status", "cardctl config" we might be able to tell you something useful about it.

if you're lucky there will be a driver for it.

if you're running debian or angstrom you might need "pccardctl" as the command.

looks like it's a Prism2 card, so you should use the hostap driver, that will give you WPA using wpa_supplicant, you might need to install the latter program.

don't use wlan-ng driver (aka hermes or orinoco) as you'll only get WEP to work.

HostAP drivers should be installed by default. Try doing a "modprobe hostap" and/or a "modprobe hostap_cs" (either of which should load the HostAP modules), then the normal ifconfig/iwconfig/dhcpcd commands.

I can give a full command list, if necessary.

I make "iwconfig", and appears eth0, and say "warnig: Drives for device eth0 has been complied with version 1.4. the recommend version 1.5.

In command "ifconfig eth0 up" it is not any eth0 and appears "S10CSIFFLAGS: no such device".

I try to make "modprobe hostap" and say "Can's Load module Hostap
