Zaurus - pdaXrom / Help Needed: Corrupted /etc/passwd

« on: December 03, 2016, 05:38:06 am »

Hi all,

I have pdaXii13.
I've tried to change the shell on a default user (root) and edited the /etc/passwd
It seems after reboot the system could not access/parse this file. So I cannot do anything to restore it..
I've tried to boot from SD card to recover it, but I don't know what to mount. I've used default partitioning scheme.
What could possibly be done to edit /etc/passwd now? Which device should I mount and how from recovery console (when booting from SD card where I have installation files for pdaXii13).

Device is Zaurus C3000.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / How To Compile Hostap Driver

« on: October 25, 2016, 03:07:37 am »

Hi,

I'm trying to compile hostap to upgrade my CF Dlink 660W Wifi card according to these instructions: http://linux.junsun.net/intersil-prism/
since the firmware I have on this card is too old doesn't support wpa.

Is where any description how to do it ? particularly interested in PCMCIA_CS path I have to specify in order to build this driver.
I've tried to compile it pointing to the kernel sources 2.4.19 from pdaxrom beta1 feed, able to compile, install the driver via insmod, but prism2_srec failed to run indicating prism2 not found

So probably I did something wrong. Could someone guide me how to do it in a proper way (I haven't compiled kernel modules for like 12 years).
