Security and Networking / Cf Wifi Card Experts Please!

although I have a love for tinkering with linux and its many forms I just opted to RMA the thing back to newegg and get a linksys wcf12. I hope I have better luck with this card as it shows that it is supported here:

I truely wished that worked for me. I searched /etc/pcmcia/config and wlan-ng.conf for entries that looked like the cardctl ident output I couldn't find any. The only info I found was the info I had put in there to begin with. In wlan-ng.conf a commented out line that I put there:

#card "Zonet ZCF 1100 CF WLAN Card"
#  version "WLAN", "11Mbps_PC-Card_3.0", "ISL37100P", "Eval-RevA"
#  bind "prism2_cs"

and in the config (which i tried to move above other entries)

card "Zonet CF WLAN"
  manfid 0x000b, 0x7100
  bind "orinoco_cs"

Is there some config file that cardmanager is referencing? I have no idea.

When I add a standard LAN - TCP/IP connection, it says "offline" in Qtopia when I remove the LAN connection and the Wireless LAN TCP/IP connection remains the status changes to "No connection defined".  

It seems that my Zaurus is treating this Wifi card as if it were a LAN card. I have heard of this happening to someone who then reordered things in his spectrum.conf file but mine looks like this:

device "spectrum_cs"
#  class "network" module "hermes", "orinoco", "spectrum_cs"
  class "spectrum" module "hermes", "orinoco", "spectrum_cs"

card "LA4100 Spectrum24 CF WLAN Card"
  manfid 0x026c, 0x0001
  bind "spectrum_cs"

card "Socket Communications CF+ LP WLAN Card"
  manfid 0x0104, 0x0001
  bind "spectrum_cs"

Hello all,

Great site, first post, any help is is appreciated.

I thought I did my research before I went out and bought a wireless card but apparently I didn't do enough ;-(

I have been trying to get a Zonet ZCF 1100 CF 802.11b 11 Mbps card to work on the newest Sharp ROM 3.10, Linux Kernel 2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix. This is on a Zaurus 5500-SL

I followed this article: http://www.zaurususergroup.org/ProdReviews...ent-id-23.phtml

and this

Sorry for all the output in advance, I thought It would help.....

When I restart pcmcia services with: /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia restart
and remove the card here is the last bit of output from dmesg:

This function is not support     411c

What I know:

The only thing I know is that if I modify anything but the pcmcia config I don't get the card detected. I have read articles that say to modify the wlan-ng.conf file, when I do this I don't get positive results. The orinoco_cs is the only thing that has given me detection in Qtopia.

I don't know what the orinoco_cs is or how to obtain it if I need it. Some websites say that the Prism devices need the hostap_cs driver, I know this card is a Prism I device so I don't know.

In Qtopia's network app, under the "current" tab it shows my MAC address when the card is plugged in but says "No connection defined"
when I pull it out it displays: No available service.

My accesspoint is an Apple Graphite original 802.11b router, I use Freebase to configure it for my IBM laptop. I have encryption turned off for the 5500. Where I sit I get a good signal from the AP via the laptop

The only modules that I have seen on the Zaurus under:
/home/root/modules/2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix/pcmcia are
memory_cs.o    prism2_cs.o    sharpzdc_cs.o

I appreciate any help that you can give-thanks in advance
