What is correct values for cardtype and interface for
Linksys WCP12 CF card in source line of /usr/local/etc/kismet.conf?

For Example:
"source=cardtype, interface,name"

My PDA is Zaurus 5600, Sharp ROM verion 1.00 V and Linksys WCP12 CF card.
I am using latest version of Kismet from:
http://www.kismetwireless.net/code/kismet-...-R1b-arm.tar.gz

Are there other configuration changes required to run Kismet?
How can kismet.conf be edited in terminal? The file is owned by root.
Any clues appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Software / Mplayer Setup Help

« on: February 10, 2005, 09:55:21 pm »

It works! By the way, is
there a way for mplayer
to display .wmv and .asf videos?

Thank you very much for your help.

Uninstall the current version of Mplayer and download kino 0.22 from http://zaurus.spy.org/feeds/cacko/qt/24-FE...o2_0.22_arm.ipk.

Upon successfully installing, ignore the GUI function as it does not work on SL-5600.

You can make use of Mplayer bundled to play your multimedia data.

Use "mplayer xxx.mp3" to play audio file and search for the command line options for playing the video files in the forum.

5x00 General discussions / SD Card Install

« on: October 27, 2004, 11:21:58 am »

On Zaurus 5600, sometimes "add/remove software" applet generates message when installing to SD card media.

In general, which software can be installed to SD card and which software must be installed to internal storage?

When warning messages appear, I simply install to Internal storage.  But now I am running out of Internal storage. I want to move all apps to SD. How can I do that efficiently?

Any clues? Please advise. Thank you.
