Title: CF wireless install
Post by: lestiles on September 23, 2004, 09:36:20 pm

How do I get the drivers for the DLink CF wireless card onto the Zaurus?  Tried loading from Liknsys CD to SD but no go.  Unable to sync from PC to Z.

I'm having a hard time understanding your post... you shouldn't need any drivers installed on your z for a dlink cf wifi card to work... it should just work out of the box.

I don't know why you would get dlink drivers from a linksys CD.

have you tried syncing with the usb sync cable?  check out these wireless syncing docs (http://www.zaurususergroup.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=phpWiki&file=index&pagename=Syncing)

btw - which zaurus and rom?

I'm going to try since this is the area I need help in as well.
I have a 5600 with special rom 1.3, I bought a smc 2642, I can not get it to see my airport basestation or the the wireless network at my job which is not wep. Anyone can use it. I can not see either. HELP!?

what do I need to do, I discovered that having the hostap wireless drivers in makes my zaurus not see my wifi card for what it is. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for your reply.  The unitis SL-C860. With new Cacko OS.  I understand that there are no drivers needed.  The Z sees the card and It lists it "Network".  The card however does not see the signal from the access point.  My network is not encrypted so no WEP is required.  When I go to "net front" and tryto connect it "cannot find device card for communication".  Looks like I am missing a step someplace.
