Zaurus - pdaXrom / Hostap
« on: February 10, 2005, 09:59:47 am »
This is how I run hostap on my Z with RC8. I created a hostap.conf file in my /etc/pcmcia/ directory using the hermes.conf file as a template. I had to make the following adjustments to the file:

Code: [Select]
                                   
#device "orinoco_cs"
#  class "hermes"
#  module "hermes", "orinoco", "orinoco_cs"
#  module "hermes", "orinoco", "orinoco_cs" opts "pc_debug=3"

device "hostap_cs"  
class "hostap"  
module "hostap", "hostap", "hostap_cs"    

After that I located the entry for my card in my newly created hostap.conf file and changed it to use hostap_cs.

Code: [Select]
card "Ambicom WL1100C 11Mbs Card 802.11b"
  manfid 0xd601,0x0002
  bind "hostap_cs"

Restart your PCMCIA subsystem with /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia restart.  Then re-seat your card and you should now have a wlan0 device that can accept the iwconfig wlan0 mode master command to act as an AP.

To go back just rename or delete the /etc/pcmcia/hostap.conf file and restart your PCMCIA subsystem again.

How can I get HostAP running in rc8 or rc9??

Just want to use a Senao Prism based card with the HostAP drivers.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Wireless Question?

Well Im an idiot - based on the fact you posted this in the pdaXrom cat Im guessing your running that rom. When you boot or put your WiFI card in drop to a shell and do a ps -ax | grep eth0. You should see several scripts and a dhcpdc process. Thats whats most likely causing your troubles.

Thats going to depend on what ROM you are using. If you can open up multiple shells you can issue a ps -ax | grep dhcp to see if a dhcp client is running. If it is kill it. A simpler way is to configure your card to have a static address - doesnt matter what so your device wont go looking for one.

Make sure your card is not attempting to get a DHCP address. If it is it can cause the problem you described.

Ambicom WL1100C-CF worked for me - right out of the box.

Your QtGaim issue may be related to a libpng problem. I had a similar issue on my 860. Not sure if it is or not but worth a look. The fix is located here under No pictures displayed when I run GAIM: http://qpe-gaim.sourceforge.net/faq.php#libpng
