C1000/3x00 General discussions / Sl-c3200 : Ambicom Wl1100c Card, Telnet-over-usb Dont Work

@Capn_fish:
The updated SD driver in question is sdmmc-module_2.4.20_arm.ipk ? Yes, I installed that. I'll look around for a 4GB card that's SD-only.

If I figure out the PC-to-Zaurus USB connection problem, I'll post it here.

Thanks for everything!

@Capn_fish:
I installed your suggested VNC viewer. And I downloaded the ipks and followed the instructions at Viperin-Z to install vpnc along with a little system applet to configure vpnc.
Now everything works and I can connect to my corporate network!
Thanks very much, Capn_fish!

I see that Cacko doesn't recognise SDHC cards - I tried a 4GB Sandisk SDHC card - so that limits me to the 2GB SD card, right ?

Also, the USB-over-telnet doesn't quite work yet. I am able to ping the PC from the Zaurus having followed the instructions from the MyZaurus link above, but ping/telnet from the PC to the Zaurus does not work yet.

@Capn_fish:
I installed Cacko after backing up the Sharp distro, and now the Ambicom works and I am able to connect to the internet. Thanks very much!

About the Usb-over-telnet, there are some things at MyZaurus that I will try before I report any progress on that.

And now of course I have more questions!

Has anyone tried a Cisco VPN client like vpnc on Cacko ? I downloaded and installed a vpnc ipk from the above link, but it doesn't work - complains about libcrypt.so being missing. So I was wondering if anyone has built a VPN client and VNC viewer for the Cacko distro ?

Thanks,

@Capn_fish:
I'll try the USB networking idea now. And sure, I would be open to changing distros!

@deluxe:
Yes, I can flash the ROM, but is there somewhere I would get detailed instructions on how to do this ? And is there a way to backup the entire Sharp ROM before flashing Cacko ? And where would I get the latest version of Cacko ?

@jfv:
I rechecked my wifi settings - they all seem to be correct.

Thanks everyone for the help so far!

Thanks for the quick reply, Capn_Fish.

When I do lsmod, I only see prism2_cs and p80211. I do not see either orinoco or hostap.
Doing "modprobe hostap" gives me a "Can't locate module" error.

Do I need to get this module from somewhere and install before it works ?

Thanks.

For the Wi-Fi card, you may want to make sure the HostAP drivers are loaded and not Orinoco. Do a:

USB networking info later.

All,

My apologies if these questions have been asked before.

I just acquired a Zaurus SL-C3200 from Conics (Thanks, Brett!).  It has the default Sharp ROM. ROM version is 1.02 JP. English conversion was done by Conics.

I am facing 2 problems:

1. When I insert an Ambicom WL1100C-CF card, the card is recognised and the little globe icon appears. However, the little light on the card itself does not turn on. When I try to connect to a network, it fails.
I tried the card on a Sigmarion III running WinCE4.1, and after installing drivers, the card worked fine.

2. I am using Win2K. I followed Trisoft's instructions from here for the sync installation. I used the USBDrivers/Network directory from the Sharp CDROM for the drivers. Drivers were installed, and when I plugged the Zaurus in, it was recognised. The NDIS driver shows up in Device Manager.

However, as per the instructions, when I try to telnet to the device, or ping it, it fails.

Am I doing something wrong ? Or is there a systematic issue that causes both problems ?
Please help!
