Security and Networking / Wireless extensions not registered with prism2_cs driver

« on: May 14, 2004, 07:09:51 pm »

Hello,

I am having trouble with the Origo/Senao WIFI card and C860 bought from www.shirtpocket.co.uk

When I bought the card I was using the Sharp ROM, and everything was smelling of roses.  I then proceeded to experiment with alternative ROMs.  I first used Cacko 1.21, and the wireless worked.  Then came pdaXrom, I could get the wireless to work with this aswell, up until I used kismet.  I am not sure if there is any link there, but I seem to remember it was around that time.

Now with pdaXrom I can, with the orinoco module, configure the wireless settings but the ap mac address is always 44:44:44:44:44:44 or 00:00:00:00:00:00.  I am completely puzzled.

I then put the Cacko 1.21 ROM back on and now, with the prism2_cs module, have no wireless extensions for the card.  There is no problem with the recognision of the card, cardctl gives the correct info, the modules are loaded.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / wifi card works but not on pdaxrom

Yep, microwayes is my essid, and if you are using WEP then fill it in with the appropriate key, if not the leave the enc option out.  Have at look at the iwconfig man page if your interested, or just carry on with the old rom cos you shouldn\'t have to do all this, its a pain.  Of course you could automate it but you might as well wait for it to be fixed.  I filed a bug report on the pdaxrom website.

I also have a orinoco wifi card from shirtpocket, and have also experienced the LAN config utilities inability to configure it correctly.  I would have assumed that the config utility would use the standard, non-card specific iwconfig options to configure it but on inspection of eth0 in iwconfig, no settings are set.  Setting them manually and bringing the interface up works fine.

# iwconfig essid microwayes mode managed enc XXXX-XXXX-XX open
then
# ifconfig eth0 up
and finally
# dhcpcd eth0

worked for me.  Although config is lost after suspend.  It was extremely easy and reliable in Qtopia, and thats the way it should be.  Also, the wireless applet appears and disappears of its own accord.
