5x00 Hardware / Oz3.5.3 / 5600 / Linksys Wcf12

« on: June 14, 2005, 09:46:16 am »

OK, so I guess I was just foolish but I did get it to work.    I'd been reading a lot of postings about how incorrect kernels could lead to all sorts of problems :-).   I'd never seen a warning about this when I booted, bit I had been using the 5600 PXA255 specific zImage file.    I tried the other one and the card worked the first time.

Now, I just need to convince wellenreiter to run and not complain about a mismatch
of versions between the program and the interface :-)

Thanks,
Kenny

5x00 Hardware / Oz3.5.3 / 5600 / Linksys Wcf12

« on: June 13, 2005, 05:53:14 pm »

I'm OK with the default Sharp ROMs but what's the use of a having a linux driver PDA
like the Zaurus if you are only OK with it?    Everything worked, including the
wifi card, but it just wasn't great.   I tried the QTopia ROM upgrade that came out
recently---like the looks, everything works, but I cannot get Opera going.  So, I installed
OZ3.5.3 (Opie) on my 5600.   I like it a lot, especially after I found the comment on
how to keep the suspend problem from happening.   My problem, though, is
that I cannot get the WiFi card to work.  

When it comes up, it sees lo and irda as the only two interfaces.  If I try
to start the wlan0 from the graphical, it errorrs.  With ifup, I get a number of
errors about the device not being found.  I have tried rebooting with the card in,
I've tried the initial boot with the card in---same result.

Any suggestions would be great---I have been trying various things on the
boards to no avail.    

cardctl does report it as a linksys card so at the hardware level it is there.  

Thanks,
Kenny

Sharp ROMs / Pre-emptive kernel question

« on: July 18, 2004, 04:37:07 pm »

I am a new Zaurus 5600 user; one of the first modifications I wanted to
make was to install the preemptive kernel that I found here.   I followed
the instructions, and when the SD update procedure starts up, I get an
error that the directory /etc/update/control/next could not be created.  
Then, the system reboots.  

I don't think, therefore, the kernel was altered.   What am I
overlooking?

Thanks,
Kenny
