C1000/3x00 General discussions / 3k And Wcf11 (linksys)

« on: July 26, 2005, 08:53:07 pm »

So frustrated. Still cant get any of my wireless cards working. Im at a complete loss.

Ok, so got another card. Linksys WCF11. cardctl ident and wlan-ng.conf agree. The light stays on. But I cant get a network connection. Even ifconfig -a doesnt show anything.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

C1000/3x00 General discussions / Compatible Cf Wifi Cards?

« on: May 27, 2005, 09:11:49 pm »

I followed your instructions to the letter, still no luck. I have been fighting with this for awhile. Anyway, the only thing I have changed recently was to set startup to on in the wlan.opts file. Now I actually have the CF Card icon in the bottom right next to my SD card. I never had it before. Still the card just will not do anything aside from report what it is. Dynanism hasn't responded in some time. Here are my configs if they help:

wlan-ng.conf
wlan-ng.opts

Thanks for ANY assistance!

Alaric,

Did you try the steps I outlined in my earlier post in this thread??

Worked for me on that same card...

HTH,

Mark

Reviving an old thread, but for the life of me I cannot get my Ambicom WC1100C-CF card to work at all. cardctl ident shows the card there, but nothing. No lights when I insert it, no luck through the wizard, or through the network app. This is my 3rd card, after I retruned the frst two to Tiger Direct thinking they were bad. Anyone have any suggestions? Eventhing is stock on the Z (ie 1.01jp). I was wondering if the new ROM would help?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks guys! I think I have a netgear floating around somewhere, I might try and dig it out or try the other rom!

Thanks very much!

So I have gone through 2 CF wireless cards now with no luck. The netgear is understandable. I hold out hope to get it working. In the mean time I ordered an Ambicom CF-C1100, and it doesnt work. I have been told it should plug right in and work, but no luck. Even the Dynamism folks are stumped why its not working.

So, since im shellin out money left and right for cards, anyone want to give me the name of a card they KNOW works? I would like to get something going as meetings and other things at work, I cant live without my c3k, but the fact I have to use my usb cable at my desk every time I want to sync is driving me nuts!

Thanks!

Security and Networking / Sl-c3000 Wifi Help

« on: April 25, 2005, 09:06:35 am »

Yea it was just the normal pcmcia reset also resets the hdd. Thanks for the cardctl reset command. I looked it up shortly after posting here, and forgot to edit my original post.

I have been talking with the Dynamism folks about my other card. Right now they are a bit baffled why its not working. Ill keep you posted as it goes. I have yet to start on a driver or work around for the linksys, but ill be sure to PM you when/if I get something going. Work is being a monster at the moment, and trying to finish it up =)

ps to reset only one device try cardctl reset 0 to specify which socket you want to reset instead of all of them (i am assuming you meant you cant reset the device because of the hdd)

Security and Networking / Sl-c3000 Wifi Help

« on: April 21, 2005, 09:48:15 am »

All-

having issues setting up wifi on my c3000. I have 2 different cards. Below is the output from cardctl ident.

Qtopia 1.5.4 (build date 10/28/2004)
Kernel 2.4.20
ROM 1.01 JP

AmbiCom WL1100C-CF

Socket 0:
  product info: "AmbiCom", "WL1100C 802.11b CF-Card", "2.2"
  manfid: 0xd601, 0x0002
  function: 6 (network)
Socket 1:
  product info: "HITACHI", "microdrive"
  manfid: 0x0319, 0x0000
  function: 4 (fixed disk)

Netgear WCF54G (I know this isnt listed as supported but I am trying to get a driver working since I use netgear cards in my laptops w/gentoo. I figure I might give it a shot at compiling a working driver)

Socket 0:
  product info: "Linksys", "WCF54G_Wireless-G_CompactFlash_Card", "", ""
  manfid: 0x0156, 0x0004
  function: 6 (network)
Socket 1:
  product info: "HITACHI", "microdrive"
  manfid: 0x0319, 0x0000
  function: 4 (fixed disk)

output from my /etc/pcmcia/wirelss-ng

(due to size I just put it up on my server for viewing)

wlan-ng.conf
wlan-ng.opts
dmesg
  *that dmesg was booting with the ambicom I can give you one with the netgear if you want.


Anyway, I cant get anything working rigth with these. Any suggestions? Good with linux so feel free to be brief and flame me if im missing something simple. Long hours at work havent let me full explore this yet. Thanks in advance!

edit* ifconfig doesnt show anything, there is no cardctl.pid, and if I restart pcmcia I restart the device due to the hdd =)
