Title: OZ and Ambicom card?
Post by: javaman83 on December 22, 2003, 10:51:05 pm

I may be an idiot, but for some reason i cannot get my Ambicom card to work. I have OZ 3.3.3 installed. The card is detected, but just flashes and nothing ever works. I have tried DHCP, i have tried static, i have tried all the manual setting in the network settings. Is there something I am missing? I have tried 3.3.5 also and it didn\'t work for that.

Hi javaman,

there exists a systematic procedure for dealing with this (and other) kind of problems, involving to look at logread, lsmodules, /etc/pcmcia/*.conf and other things. I\'d like you to help yourself, but I don\'t like repeating myself. Did you do a search on this and the other forums and had a look at the mailing list archives where people have similar problems?

bah   i figured it out. unfortunately it is not a fixable problem. it will work but i have to reset my router and reboot the zaurus everytime i want to use it. There is a known compatibility problem with this card and my Linksys AP. looks like the card is going back to Best Buy
