Security and Networking / Ambicom Wl54-cf

well, actually, the WL54-CF comes with 2 types of installation driver...

ppc2003 AND Windows.
If i look at the user manual, it looks like I have to install those "drivers" on the PDA itsefl if I have a WinCe based pda.

So I guess we actually have some drivers that are Arm based. I'll investigate this but I see some hope and a nice project for the holidays perhaps

How sad ! I should have googled more before buying TWO WL54-CF card from Ambicon myself for those old Zaurus we have here.

I did a few research myself since i'm a totally new when it comes to configuring drivers/cards for linux.
At first, I would enter the card in the Zaurus and I would'nt have any card detected. So I added the entry to the wlan-ng.conf file. Now, when I insert the  card in it, it's detected has a "prism2_cs" type card since i didn't knew it was a Marvell type.

My entry looks like that btw :

card "Ambicom WL54-CF 54Mbps 802.11g WLAN Card"
        manfid 0x02df, 0x8103
        bind "prism2_cs"

I was kinda disapointed to see that no one managed to make that thing work on linux.
However, I cam across this : http://verens.com/archives/2005/02/21/inst...ipset-in-linux/

I'm looking into NdisWrapper right now and see if I can compile it and install it on my zaurus ( if you have any guidelines for that, I would appreciate naturally).

Other question is about the wlan-ng.conf file. I'll obviously have to add a new entry for the Marvell driver types.

Any clues on that too ?

Back to my NdisWrapper thing. Hope someone can help me and that Teleute didn't abandonned the idea of making the card work on the Zaurus.
