Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Problems With Sandisk Wifi Card

« on: July 19, 2005, 11:36:03 am »

Are you sure you have

* prism3-support installed,
* flashed the "real" 3.5.3 kernel,
* not manipulated /etc/pcmcia/hostap.conf by hand

?

prism3-support? I'm not sure... I flashed the Zaurus with the files I listed above (got them from the OpenZaurus web site. I believe it's the 32/32 build), and once I re-booted, I inserted the WiFi card. That's the first time I got the diagonal lines, and that was on a fresh flash. After that, I followed [a href=\"http://http://www.bentzon.net/acb/sandisk.html]
this [/url]tutorial, hoping that if I'd installed the drivers, whatever was making the screen do that would behave itself. I dont' believe I modified hostap.conf at all... I did modify a config table, but that was to remove a line for "atp" so that I could get the Zaurus to suspend properly. And this was after I got the diagonal lines as well...

Thanks for replying soo quickly...

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Problems With Sandisk Wifi Card

« on: July 19, 2005, 01:25:35 am »

Hi, all...

I'm very new to Linux, and especially new to OZ (OpenZaurus). My bro bought a Zaurus 5500, and got a SanDisk DirectConnect WiFi card w/ 128MB Memory. I'd found a tutorial on how to get it to run on OZ 3.5.3. Learned enough Linux to unpack the Tar Balls, move the files to the various directories, copied his config script, and give it permissions : )

However... Each time I insert the WiFi card into the Zaurus, parallel diagonal lines cover the screen. Kinda neat to look at, but not when I'm trying to access our network : )

Has anyone come across this problem? Is the WiFi card defective? When I take it out, I see the popup menu that says it detected the card... then another one that says it's been ejected, so apparently the OS is recognizing it... I'm using OZ 3.5.3 with the newest version of Opie.

Since I'm here...

Can anyone direct me to a tutorial on how to connect it via USB to a WinXP computer?

Thanks for your help...
