Zaurus - pdaXrom / Hardware problems with pdaXrom..

Please bear with me, I need to ask if the above script is put into a certain file such as /etc/pcmcia/wireless or network or?. Thanks.

Actually this script has to be run manually. But you can modify it to act as an init.d script and / or create an hotplug / hostap config to made it run when you plug your wifi card.

First, you have to add your card definition to /etc/pcmcia/hostap_cs.conf

Edit this file and add :

Code: [Select]

card "PLANEX COMMUNICXATIONS INC."
   manfid 0xd601, 0x0010
   bind "hostap_cs"
It's time to flash your card (credits to gryning).
Download the latest firmware from :
http://www.red-bean.com/~proski/firmware/1.8.4.tar.bz2 (extract rf010804.hex)
http://www.red-bean.com/~proski/firmware/primary.tar.bz2 (extract pm010102.hex)

Then use this script :

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh
cardctl scheme default
prism2_srec -gs wlan0 /pm010102.hex
prism2_srec -gp wlan0 /pm010102.hex
iwpriv wlan0 reset 1
prism2_srec -rp wlan0 path/rf010804.hex
iwconfig wlan0 mode 2
cardctl scheme planexWhere <path> is the path to the firmware.

Use ifconfig -a and you will see your card interface, now put it up using ifconfig <interface> up and it will works.

If it's doesn't work properly, verify that you have hostap and hostap_cs module loaded (lsmod | grep hostap) and try to plug the card one more time.
