Title: DLink WCF12 Wifi card - not detecting
Post by: blakeyez on July 03, 2004, 07:04:19 pm

Hi all

I just went out and bought a [Linksys] WCF12 wifi cf card, and the zaurus seems to not detect it at all.  No kernel messages about it (checked using dmesg), no icon, no nothin.  I am using the latest cacko rom+hotfix b.  Anyone have any suggestions?

TIA
Dave

edited to correct the brand name - I bought a d-link wap at the same time and mixed myself up!  The card is a Linksys WCF12

Do you mean the D-Link 660W or the Linksys WCF12?

The WCF12 works out of the box with Cacko 1.21b.  If you are using some other Sharp based ROM you can remove the manfid line for the WCF12 in /etc/pcmcia/wlan-ng.conf.

Try searching the forums for "WCF12 wlan-ng.conf"

Hope this helps,

Well, I've now tried it in both cacko1.21b and pdaXrom 1.0.5, and no go.  cardctl ident lists no cards inserted, dmesg says nothing about card inserts, etc.  I think this card is a dud but I have no other machine to try it in... I haven't tried the cf port on the zaurus yet (just got it 3 days ago), so it may be that the cf doesn't work at all... argh... anyone have any suggestions?

I was right...  The card was a dud - I exchanged it and am now typing this message from my zaurus!!!!
