General Discussion / Ambicom Wl1100c Wireless Install

« on: October 08, 2005, 02:21:13 pm »

Has anyone installed a Ambicom WL1100C wireless CF card on ZaurusSL5500 rom3.1 ?
I had the card working on a Ipaq with Familiar-0.82 Linux using Hostap drivers, but I can't get
hostap-modules to install on the Zaurus.
Where would I get the correct drivers for this card?

Thanks
Jim

What does 'mount' show?

Are you root when you're trying to copy to it? What error message does it give you?

In fstab I had to enter ,   user,uid=<yourusername>, notime  at the beginning of options line.
That solved the problem.

I cannot copy anything to this CF card, and when I boot laptop I have entry in /media/LEXAR_MEDIA
but I can't copy anything to it.
This a 40X CF card. The CF card is mounted in a pcmcia adapter, and plugged into a pcmcia slot in my laptop.
In my /etc/pcmcia/config file, below is the entering for the CF card, is this correct?

card " LEXAR ATA FLASH CARD    ", "TWISTER", "TTE01"
  manfid: 0x4e01, 0x0200
  function: 4 (fixed disk)
  bind "ide-cs"

You sure it should be /dev/hde?

In any case you'll probably want to change the command line to add in the partition, e.g.:

mount -t vfat /dev/hde1 /mnt/ide

I still can't copy to the CF card.
What command will unzip this file 5500v31c.zip, using tar -x or gunzip -d won't unzip it, I get
errors

gunzip -d 5500v31c.zip
gunzip: 5500v31c.zip: unknown suffix -- ignored

tar -x 5500v31c.zip  just sites there like it's running, but doing nothing.

The sharp ROM 2.37?

If so, update to the newer ROM version either 3.1 or 3.13

Also, you can use the cacko kernel which gives a % of battery left
