« on: May 17, 2005, 03:22:23 am »

I love the Zaurus, but I don't use it that much, and I'm in need of some cash. It's up for anyone who wants it. I said I wouldn't ship outside the US, if the price is right, I would definitely consider it. Email me or PM me if your interested.

Here's my listing on Ebay: like I said any questions just ask

Sharp ROMs / Watapon ROM

« on: May 05, 2005, 01:12:01 pm »

Hey everyone, I've been thinking I love my Zaurus 5600 with the Watapon ROM (Made it more useful-thanks again Chaos for all your help [wifi problems especially] ).

Its more of a hobby tool for me, but I don't have any time for it.
I would like to unload my Zaurus 5600 with the pxa 250 processor.

[Moderated. Please, post this info in "For Sale/Wanted" forum]

TJ

Again thanks Chaos for the tech support and your hard work on the Watapon ROM.

Hey grog I have this in my router settings:

Enable IEEE 128 bit Shared Key security

then a 26 digit password, which I have in the zaurus. I also have them corresponding in terms of channels. I also use a name for my router.

These are the setting I have in the zaurus:
config:
uncheck non-spec EDD-ID: the name of my router here

network type: infrastructure

[if you want to change your channel, just put network type ad-hoc, and then you can change the channel to match your router]

tehn WEP:
which is the 26 hex (I made it all numbers)
authentication : open system

everything else auto.

Try those settings let me know

Hey grog what problems do you have with the SMC2642 card? I have it, I have 1.4.1 and everything is working fine. It's a little quirky sometimes but it works.

I gotta say I was pretty excited today when I went to work with your ROM Chaos, cause with no additional settings I was able to access my jobs wireless network. Whammo your website came up.  Thanks for your helpful suggestions. I would have tried to change the settings on my Apple Basestation but I don't have my Mac right now. By the way my job has all Basestations without WEP.  Thanks again.

I don't know, I never checked on that level; like the script of the location of where the installers were.--sorry.  

I wonder if you can provide any insight as to how to connect to my wifi network. I have the WEP (hex) and it sees the network, gets signal but does not finalize. Just intializes. It's a SMC2642. Which is a Prism 2.5 chipset. And I'm trying to connect to a Snow Airport basestation.

Again Thanks.

Hey Chaos I tried what you said, (I'm not that good with the terminal yet, but I tried from the GUI) GUI did not work, I clicked to rename and nothing happened. Then I realized I had the put all my installers in a seperate folder on my Compact flash card. I moved one App right to the "root" of the card, and viola it was able to install. I guess it was a directory confusion. The apps are working fine now. THanks again.

I went to install some of my Apps I had before your ROM, and the installer says this
"The filename of this package includes character this application can't handle. Please change the filename and retry install. "

This is a game called "Froot", you may notice improper grammar, this is verbatim the text. Other applications give me the same message, these are the same installers I used before.

Anyway any insight is appreciated, I have to say the GUI is quite nice, I love the icons.

And for the first time since I have owned the 2: SL-5600 + SMC2642 wifi card, the card never would see any networks now it sees my Airport basestation and gets signal. This is a first.

But it never finalizes after intializing.

Thanks again for working on the ROM.

Hello Chaos,

I haven't tried your ROM yet, I'm about to. I have to say I appreciate you working on this.
I wish there was someway I could contribute.
 I say QPDF2 was a good idea, I think PDFs are very convenient documents.
Can you somehow get VLC (video LAN controller--? I think that's what it stands for) going? I have some games on the sharp rom (special kernel 1.3), will the Apps (games) I have now work with your ROM?


Thanks again

I have a 5600 with special rom 1.3, I bought a smc 2642, I can not get it to see my airport basestation or the the wireless network at my job which is not wep. Anyone can use it. I can not see either. HELP!?

Security and Networking / Can't get wireless working on 5600+SMC2642+airport

« on: September 20, 2004, 02:25:36 am »

These are my settings/items.

SL 5600 with 1.32 ROM special preemptive ROM,  SMC2642, and an airport basestation. I just want to connect to my wireless network or any for that matter, I work where there is wireless access available for free. Does anyone know which software or driver I need, I tried putting in the WEP info, turning off my WEP on my basestation, I have never been able to connect, sometimes the card is inserted and it shows an icon to connect with but can't find the server. Other times it shows no icon. The light on the card flashes some times, and other times is solid. Someone please help this is getting frustrating.

Also I check cardctl status, and all that info and it sees the card, but as of now I don't know what's wrong/missing.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

thanks
