Title: Wireless extensions not registered with prism2_cs driver
Post by: Hazza on May 14, 2004, 07:09:51 pm

Hello,

I am having trouble with the Origo/Senao WIFI card and C860 bought from www.shirtpocket.co.uk

When I bought the card I was using the Sharp ROM, and everything was smelling of roses.  I then proceeded to experiment with alternative ROMs.  I first used Cacko 1.21, and the wireless worked.  Then came pdaXrom, I could get the wireless to work with this aswell, up until I used kismet.  I am not sure if there is any link there, but I seem to remember it was around that time.

Now with pdaXrom I can, with the orinoco module, configure the wireless settings but the ap mac address is always 44:44:44:44:44:44 or 00:00:00:00:00:00.  I am completely puzzled.

I then put the Cacko 1.21 ROM back on and now, with the prism2_cs module, have no wireless extensions for the card.  There is no problem with the recognision of the card, cardctl gives the correct info, the modules are loaded.

prism2_cs driver does not support wireless extentions. You need to use another driver. Search forums on how to change it
