As promised, I am posting this from my SLC 860 flashed with cacko 1.2.2. What a journey !!!!
Here are the steps I took to get here. I have a CF wifi card.
1. in the console run
cardctl ident Socket 0:
product info: "INTERSIL", "HFA384x/IEEE", "Version 01.02", ""
manfid: 0x0156, 0x0002
function: 6 (network)
2. edited /etc/pcmcia/hostap_cs.conf to have only the entry for my card.
device "hostap_cs"
class "hostap" module "hostap", "hostap_cs", "hostap_crypt_wep", "hostap_crypt_tkip"
card "Senao SL-2011CD/SL-2011CDPLUS"
version "INTERSIL", "HFA384x/IEEE", "Version 01.02", ""
# manfid 0x0156, 0x0002
bind "hostap_cs"
# Optional configuration parameters for hostap_cs.o
# module "hostap_cs" opts "channel=3 iw_mode=3 essid=test ignore_cis_vcc=0"module "hostap_cs" opts "dev_template=eth%d"
3. in the console restart pcmcia
/etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia restart 4. re-inserted wifi card in the CF slot.
5. create wifi network connection -
ESS-ID = ANY
Network type = Infrastructure.
Switch off autoconnect option.
6. connect and hey presto i'm in.
This has taken me hours of trial and error, searching & reading info and persistance. I found quite a few tips in the forum and the cacko FAQ page

enjoy and good night, dawn.
