Sharp ROMs / Help! Sandisk Wi-fi + 128mb Card Not Working

« on: October 03, 2005, 09:40:53 pm »

I check this post almost everyday to see if anyone is successful to make this card work under the Cacko Rom.  I really have no clue why the firmware can not be uploaded.  Hopefully your guys (IT professionals !!) can solve this problem.

Looking forward to hearing the good news!

Leo

 

T-RuX,

Thanks for your reply.
I commented bind "ide-cs" to 1 as you said

but dmesg still doesn't show me any information when I plug in the card.

Have you made any other changes to files in /etc/pcmcia/ ?

I've put the hostap modules in /lib/modules/2.4.20/net/wireless and I can modprobe them and they load cleanly but I don't get any wlan0 

How did you get it to load the modules when you plug in the card?


Thanks for reply.

Sharp ROMs / Help! Sandisk Wi-fi + 128mb Card Not Working

After extensive search, I realized that most people made this card working were using OZ3.5.2.  Does anyone make this card work under Cacko1.22 ROM?

Thanks,

Leo

I just got Scandisk Connect plus and try to make it working on my C860 runing Cacko 1.22.  I loaded pm 010101.hex in /etc/pcmcia/firmware.  But When I run

prism2_srec -gs wlan0 /etc/pcmcia/firmware/PM010101.hex

It said:

Fail to open "/proc/net/hostap/wlano/debug' for reading
Incompatible update data

Of course the card is not working.  Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot,

Leo

Sharp ROMs / Bluetooth Pan Not Working In Cacko1.22a

« on: March 29, 2005, 10:09:48 am »

I have a C860 with Cacko 1.22a and socket Bluetooth card.  After I flashed the internal memory, I tried to set up Bluetooth PAN so that I can access the internet via desktop (win xp SP2).  After reading the how-tos and the information from other posts, I set up the desktop and C860 using PAN applet coming with Cacko 1.22a.  After I tapped the connect icon, I can see the paring the Zaurus and desktop, but the connection never made it.  If I issued the command of pand --role PANU --service NAP --connect xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx –nodetach; it said “connecting to xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx”.  I can see the Bluetooth icon on the desktop turned blue, meaning they talked to each other, but after a long waiting time, it said “connect to xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx failed.  There is no such a directory and file (2)”.  Can anybody explain what’s going on?

In fact, I was looking for anyway to share the internet connect via the desktop because I do not have a wifi card for C860.  I was reading some posts that one can also share the internet of desktop via USB docking station, Is this true?

Thanks a lot, and your guys are great!  To be honest, without this forum, I probably already sell my C860 on the second day I got it.

Sharp ROMs / Help! C860 With Cacko 1.22 Won't Start Anymore

Hi iamasmith:

Thanks for the suggestion.

I am not very good at Linux system.  It took me many days and nights to bring the machine to this level.  Are there any alternative ways to bring back the machine?

leo

Without having a fairly detailed view of what configuration you have no.

If you could stand to go back to defaults and reconfigure then you can rset the Cacko ROM back to defaults using the following technique.

Remove battery.
Wait a minute or so.
Reinsert battery.
Hold down the OK button and power on whilst holding down.

This pops into a japanese menu.

Select option 3 and anser OK or Y, whichever is selected (you may need mains power to allow it to do this).

This will erase the user partition leaving the system partition intact and as such resets the ROM to its original state.

Thanks, Iamasmith.  I removed the tkcmail based on your suggestion (the machine said it’s done).  But the C860 is still cycling.  This drives me crazy.  Any further suggestions?

Thanks again.

Leo

I can't remember where I heard it but I think that one of the messages said something about some tkc software breaking compatibility with the Cacko ROM.

I would suggest booting to the command line ... hit / during the 5 second countdown, select the option for console only and then

ipkg remove <package>

To get rid of the tkcmail program.

Sharp ROMs / Help! C860 With Cacko 1.22 Won't Start Anymore

« on: March 19, 2005, 01:04:24 am »

My c869 works wonderful until I purchased the tkc mail software.  After the installation, I did a reboot.  Now my c860 is cycling between the bright screen of “ please wait … starting Liunx and Qtopia” and the dark screen of “ init: entering runlevel: 5”.  The only thing I can do is to remove the battery, but this will happen again when it is trying to start.  How can I force the machine to get out of that cycling?  Any body know if tkcmail works under Cacko1.22?

Please help!!!!!!

Thanks,

Leo

Sharp ROMs / Desperately Need Help!

« on: February 18, 2005, 07:01:04 pm »

Here is a little more information:

After i insert the card, c860 recognize the card as "Socket bluetooth card v2.5".  But when i do "/etc/pcmcia/bluetooth restart"; it returns:

Shutting down bluetooth... Can't get device info: No such device
Done
Starting bluetooth... syntax error line 4
Done

Any idea what is going on?

Ps: I did not add any other program on this unit yet.  Everything is from 1.22a.

Hi homeridian and maslovsky:

Thanks for the help.  Unfortunately, it is still not working.  When I did hcitool scan, it returns “Device is not available: Success”.  This happens so fast (~ one second),  I did not think it really scans).  

I bought the card brand new and I did test it on the PC (win xp).  In PC, at least the card can detection the presence of nokia 3660.  I actually got the mac addresses for the phone and the card from PC, do you think those information helps in terms setting up the card on C860?

Thanks again!

leo

This card should be working. You need to check the following:

1. What software packages did you install recently, they could have broken the drivers
2. If you got the card off ebay, it can be simply defective and may need to be replaced..  Check if it work in other PDA or lattop through PCMCIA adapter.

Sharp ROMs / Desperately Need Help!

« on: February 18, 2005, 12:29:49 pm »

A long time reader of this forum and finally grabbed my own C860 two weeks ago.  For the past two weeks, I used a RTM-8000 card to access internet via gprs, it worked beautifully.  More pleasantly, the set-up was a piece of a cake, thanks to the new Rom.  Now I will be on a trip tomorrow, and I like to use Socket bluetooth card pairing with my Nokia 3660.  So I rush ordered a Socket bluetooth card (the series number marked as 8510-00159H, does that means this is a rev H type?).  Anyhow, I worked almost entire last night trying to set up the card.  It’s simply just not working.  I 1) read as many as the discussions before in this forum, 2) searched MAC address of the phone using “sdptool browse”, unfortunately, sdptool browse always said “inquiry failed” after one or two seconds.  3) And hciconfig gave nothing (although I really did not know what’s the purpose this command anyway).  4) If I used PAN applet in the network setup (should I use PAN or bluetooth PPP?), after pressing the search button, it said “no device with PAN profile found” although the phone’s Bluetooth was on and it was in “visible to all” state.  5) If I tried paring the C860 from the phone, after long time searching, the phone returns “No Bluetooth device found”.  

One more thing I noticed, although I did not do anything with this card yet, by simply just pluging in the card, it draw much more battery power compared to the RTM-8000.  Is this normal?  (for RTM-8000, I can manage to use the card very frequently, but the battery can last entire day without charging, but I need to charge the unit with this card in a few houres).

At this point, I am mindless and get really frustrated.  Sorry for such a long post, and please, any suggestions or tips will be highly appreciated.

Leo
