Wifi Connection Problem
« on: February 27, 2006, 08:18:07 pm »
I'm trying to connect to my WAP ... or anybody's ... with my C-860 running CACkO 1.23 1029311005 "Nastya", following the directions in Maslovsky's FAQ for the 1.22 ROM. I'm using an Ambicom W1100C-CF card. I've edited the stettings per those instructions. So: My /home/etc/pcmcia/hostap_cs.conf file looks like this:

Code: [Select]
device"hostap_cs"
 Â class "hostap" module "hostap", "hostap_cs", "hostap_crypt_wep"

card "Ambicon WL1100C 802.11b CF--card"
 Â version "AmbiCom", "W1100C 802.11b CF--Card", "2.2"
#   manfid 0xd601, 0x0002
 Â 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"
 Â                                                                       /..



cardctl ident yields:

Code: [Select]
Socket 0:
 product info:"AmbiCom", "WL1100C 802.11b CF--Card", "2.2"
 manfid: 0xd601, 0x0002
 function: 6 (network)
Socket 1:
 no product info available

And I'm still not connecting.

Can anybody help here?

I've noticed that belkin 54G and 125G equipment doens't play well with my Z, when linksys and USR kit goes. So far I've found no explanation for this.
