Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Problem with Zaurus seeing cf card.

« on: January 29, 2004, 12:13:57 am »

Hi,
  I\'ve been having a problem with the following ever since I upgraded from Sharps ROM to OZ (3.3.6pre1).

I\'ve been using a linksys wireless cf card and sometimes it will be seen and work and other times the power light will come on and stay steady and not be recognized. When this happens, the only way I have of getting it to work again is if I leave it in and reboot.  

I don\'t know if this is related to the hotplug issue or not (if so, then it should be resoved as I just finished installing the 3.2 stable hotplug).

My only other issue is my total lack of ability to sync. I have the network interface on my computer set as 192.168.129.200 and the PDA is 192.168.129.201 (pingable from desktop) and has the gateway set to the 200 address, but I don\'t seem to be able to ping the desktop from my PDA.

I manually exported and converted my outlook contacts into the format that addressbook.xml looks for and that works fine, but on an ongoing basis I\'d like to sync with something on my desktop (XP) and my work laptop (win2000), but Qtopia desktop\'s sync icons stay disabled for me.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Totally new to OZ, what do I need to do...

Hi,

I\'ve been using my Zaurus (5500) for over a year now and have finally decided to start using OZ (due to aquireing a linksys wireless card) and I\'m at a loss as what I\'ll need to do to get everything working.

Below are the things that I\'d like to be able to do (beyond the PIM stuff):
Be able to sync up with my work computer (2000) and home computer (XP).
Connect to the net through AP\'s.
Learn to war-walk.
Have a good image viewing prog.
Have good program opening response time.
I\'d also like to learn how to get neocalc working on OZ.


That\'s pretty much what I\'m looking to do right now so I was hoping someone(s) could help me figure out exactly what I\'m going to need to do and install/configure to get me up and running. I\'d prefer to start from a clean ROM image (preferably 3.3.5 with the 40/24 memory settings unless someone has a better idea).

I have 2 docking stations, a 16MB cf card, a 64 MB sd card, and a linksys wireless network card.

Thank you for your help.
