Hardware problems with pdaXrom.. Options

[Laze]

Do you have a piece of hardware thats not working under pdaXrom like a CF network card, USB controller etc?

Please post your cardctl ident and cardctl status and all other info you can find about the card (links to drivers etc.) - then we will try and fix them one at a time and try and make sure that pdaXrom supports as many accessories as possible.

We will probally be holding an IRC meeting with all user who are having problems with hardware but this is meant to be a warm up to see how many problems there are and how much time it will take to fix them.

Laze,

There are a few people on these boards that use cheap and nasty Zonet ZCF1100 wireless cards, including me.

I added the following to /etc/pcmcia/hermes.conf to make it work:

card "Zonet ZCF1100"
manfid 0x000b, 0x7100
bind "orinoco_cs"

Cheers,

Mike.

Laze --

did you fix the cell modem that my friend has -- I think we sent you the info
before. we/he said that we/he were willing to donate/pay $100 for this
card to work.

I already talked in irc to sashz and sent him an email with cardctl ident and info ... but anyway, in order to get also the info in here, I post:

I just tried the instrutions here:

https://www.oesf.org/forums/inde...ic=1382&hl=gprs

I had the bad vcc error at first, just like he/she did.

Then I downloaded the sample scripts and edited it for my provider, using vi

tried to connect, but had output of:

defining PDP context...
Connect script failed


So, since i really dont know anything but how to follow instructions, I am at a loss.



I think Laze said there would be a how-to with this card sometime after RC8 release. I guess we wait!

Since you've started a thread specifically for this purpose, I'll repost this stuff...

To enable the Symbol LA-4137 "Wireless Networker" wifi card, add the following lines to /etc/pcmcia/spectrum.conf:

CODE

card "LA4137 Spectrum24 CF WLAN CARD"
manfid 0x014d, 0x0001
bind "spectrum_cs"

For the TRENDnet TE-CF100 wired fast ethernet card, add the following lines to /etc/pcmcia/config:

CODE

card "TRENDnet TE-CF100"
manfid 0x0149, 0xc1ab
bind "pcnet_cs"

When I insert my RATOC CFU-1, "cardctl ident" returns

CODE

Socket 0:
 product info: "RACTOC",  "USB HOST CF+ Card"
 manfid: 0xc015, 0x0001
 function: 11  (ident)

"cardctl status" returns

CODE

Socket 0:
 3.3V 16-bit PC Card
 function 0: [ready]

Driver source code for the CFU-1 is here:

The card works. After follow the instruction in the thread, run the following commands:

• cardctrl suspend
• cardctrl resume

Connect to GPRS. It works.

My card is ready, and the cardctl suspend then resume doesnt work.

When dialing I get, /usr/sbin/ppd: unrecongnized option"

and cardctl config gives me Vcc and a large string of #s

Ill just redo the whole process to make sure everythink is right.

Good to know it is working for others!

How about the pocketop IR keyboard?

What can I do to help someone get some working drivers going?

Hi,

I have an 'Eagletec' CF wireless card that is partially working
# cardctl info
PRODID_1="Wireless"
PRODID_2="LAN Adapter"
PRODID_3="Version 01.02"
PRODID_4=""
MANFID=0156,0002
FUNCTID=6
PRODID_1=""
PRODID_2=""
PRODID_3=""
PRODID_4=""
MANFID=0000,0000
FUNCIF=255

# iwconfig eth0
shows proper ESSID, Mode, Frequency and Encryption Key.

# ifconfig eth0
shows proper static ip and dns data

# route -vn
shows my liksys AP ip address as the gateway

ping my C860 by its fixed IP address is ok

Everything seems perfect, BUT...

ping my AP or other PCs in my home network losses all packages.

What could be wrong here?

Thanks!

Martin what is the problem - tried updating as described in the Kathrin RC8 is out and please try setting the wireless options in wireless config tool. It should work with your card,

My Billionton CFLA-100N 10/100 FastEthernet Compact Flash LAN Adapter doesn't work 'out of the box'.

I add the following to /etc/pcmcia/config:

manfid 0x021b, 0x0202

Thanks! You guys are doing a FANTASTIC job of pdaXrom!!
