Angstrom & OpenZaurus / OpenZaurus 3.5.1 released !!!

« on: September 27, 2004, 05:07:03 pm »

Would also like to see the QPE fix for the C860. I tried the current version (bit of a daft move for a non teccy) but as well as whetting my appettite for the qpe image, my results prompted a question.

Why do I get different reflashing results dependant upon the previous rom??? As an example (and there are others) installing the qpe image after pdaxrom, I get correct screen orientation but no touch screen reaction at all (Though the system IS NOT frozen, as the apps still respond to keyboard). However after 3.3.5 or 3.5.1 opie, ohe orientation and display are screwed, but the touchscreen is working.

Probably not really the right place for this question, and I realise either way that QPE on the 860 wont work yet...

oh yeah, I remember, I was hear to say 'me too' in favour of a working version ;-)

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Unfortunately, there is no wlan_ng.conf in my current set up under 3.5.1. I do recall editing this file under a previous rom to get things working though.

I checked out the thread but it seemed to me that this still assumed some rsponse from the card (i.e. it was recognised after a reboot).

Aprecciate the comments any how..  I will persevere!

Accessories / What\'s the diff. between WFC11 & WCF12?

Im not sure if this is the place to ask this, so no hard feelings if no responses :-) but it seems related.

I have been using my 860 for 6 months or so (I should perhaps warn at this stage that Im not really a teccy.... and as for the anticipated"why did you get a zaurus then" comments...... well... I like a challange, I like to avoid microsoft, and most importantly.. I really really like it.. anyway, back to the plot).

I was using a cackoo rom for some time quite happily, but then I decided to get a wireless card. I noted many people were successfully using a WCF12 so I went for it.

Unfortunately I just couldnt get it to work with the old ROM. Since then I have tried various ROMS.

Newer Cackoo - still no joy with the wifi,

The kompany - never could get a successful flash (the TKC site doesnt provide all three files for the 860 or similar, and the ones I tried didnt work)

PDAXrom - Hooorah... worked with wifi card BUT could not install packages !!!

Open Zaurus - Again, worked with card, but again ipk install probs (note, I obtained packages from relevant feeds, i.e. pertinant to ROM).

Open Embedded 3.5.1 - able to install packages... but, surprise surprise, wifi not working.

I really dont want to change roms again (partly because this one looks well good), so perhaps I am just not doing something I need to. So here is my position.

I havent installed any drivers (do I need to or should this ROM work ok with the WCF12). The light comes on on the card - but nobody is home :-). It does not flash on and off, just stays on. There is acknowledgement that the card is inserted in the CF slot on insertion, but the wlan monitor says card NOT inserted.

Is there anyone with the time / patience to explain what I need to do ?

Yours Gratefully.
