SIMpad forum / Help With Simpad Wireless Card

« on: February 16, 2008, 10:02:40 am »

Hi,

is there any model that works straigth away?

I use WAVELine Wireless PCMCIA Adapters from CompuShack (Company doesn't exist anymore). They work fine out of the box (WinCE and Linux, not Angstrom!). Only if you need WPA, then you have to flash their firmware.

They are based on the PRISM (chipset), so I gues any card based on that chip will work.

Hope that helps

SIMpad forum / Angstrom 2007.12 Pcmcia Issue

« on: January 01, 2008, 02:01:04 pm »

Hi there,

i just installed the new Angstrom x11 Image on my SimPad SLC. Works nice.
But i can't find a way to get my Wlan Card up and running. The card works, I used it under familiar before.

If I click on "PC/CF Cards" under Settings, I get an error message "PCMCIA initialisation failed No PCMCIA driver in '/proc/devices'"
If i open the "Root shell" and type in "pccardctl ident" it finds the card at Socket 0 and knows it's a function 6 (network) card.

What am I missing here? Can someone point me to a manual somewhere, that explains how to get the pcmcia card running under angstrom?

Thanks
Johannes
