After you did the iwconfigs and udhcpc does a ifconfig on wlan0 show an ip address from your access point?

Nope - stil 0.0.0.0. Isn't that expected from the error message right after the udhcpc?

Does a iwconfig wlan0 show it attached to your access point?

Here's the output:

Code: [Select]

Tried these three commands - currently running no encryption.

iwconfig wlan0 essid networkname

No message, presume no problems

ifconfig wlan0 up

No message, presume no problems

udhcpc wlan0

This command got a response! And presumably a bad one.

Code: [Select]

udhcpc (v0.9.9-pre) started
SIOCGIFINDEX failed!: No such device
Suggestions?

From the tools screen, select Network, choose wlan0, then click configure.  Set the mode to managed, then rescan the neighborhood.  You should see your AP come up.

Select it for your SSID and everything should work.

Tried that, no joy.  

Also added the bit to hostap_cs.conf - made no difference.

When I go to eject the card, it's identified as a "ZCOMAX AirRunner/XI300" - I note that the last entry before what you said to add is for that card, and has identical information.

So, still not working.

I've just flashed my SL-5500 to OpenZaurus 3.5.2, opie, 32+32.

I've got a CF memory card, but haven't been able to afford an SD one (yet).

I've got a Netgear MA701 CF network card, I can't get any connectivity.

I'm using an open WAP - no encryption, no nothing (yeah, I know - but I live in a house with steel siding - one of the things I want to do is test the Faraday Cage in the 802.11b spectrum. I know it's good for blocking TV!)

I've got DCP turned on. I've been poking and prodding - if I do a start/stop for wlan0 or wifi0, I get Signal 71%, Noise 71%, Quality 0%. IP address is currently showing 0.0.0.0 for both.

I've done a rescan neighborhood many times - nothing.

Green light on the card is flashing once or twice per second.

I've been going through the forums reading all the posts that say 'wireless' or 'netgear', and none of them helped.

If I eject and pull the card, the wifi0 and wlan0 connections disappear.

I'm very new to the Zaurus (I haven't had it a week yet) - suggestions? Preferably very detailed?
