OK, can you just attach a working copy of Polish keymap here, so that I can update the hotfix.

Well, that' because those are exactly the same cards, only stickers are different

Hi Maslovsky,
thank you for the update. Unfortunately my SMC EZ Connect Card (SMC2642W) now isn't recognized at all. When inserting the led goes hi and that's it. Without hotfix it is recognized as Zcomax and is running OK. Using the old hostap_cs.conf with the hotfix also doesn't fix it.

Yep, with so many card configs flating around this forum it's easy to bring a typo in

[wowo123]

OK, let's try again. What's the output of cardctl ident of your card? Did you restart pcmcia susbsystem (or rebooted your Z) after copyign old hostap config file?
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=65799\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

It says as it should:

Product info: " ", "SMC2642W 11 Mbps Wireless CF Card", ""
manfid: 0xd601, 0x0005
function : 6 (network)

[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=65832\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

OK, I now see a typo in hotfix:

" ", "SMC2642W 11mMbps Wireless CF Card", ""


Edit hostap_cs.conf and enter space instead of m chcracter for your card's entry. Let me know if it helps.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=65857\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Good hint! I found two other typos: In the first line: Card and in the version line: 11Mbps (without blank after 11!).
Now it works. Thank you very much!

The updated hotfix package should have this fixed.

After installing the hotfix, I found that my WLAN card is not working after a suspend. On a freshly booted Zaurus it works perfect, but when I suspend and resume again and try to connect again, it tries/blinks for approx. 5s and then goes to "Network Offline" (Autoconnect is off). After a reboot everything works again. If I remove my card before suspending and put it back in after resume everything works. It is a Lnksys compatible (manfid: 0x0274, 0x1612)
It was working before the hotfix...

Any hints?

Thanks

When I suspend with my WLAN card still on, the dhcpcd may crash when resuming or a while after resuming. In that case, the PID file still lingers in the /var/run directory. When trying to reconnect, the dhcpcd won't start up. In Qtopia, you see nothing (as usual) except that the network connection applet stops the connection attempt much earlier.

I've modified my /etc/pcmcia/network script to work around the problem: before trying to use dhcpcd, it checks for a stale PID file (for the current interface), tries to kill any left-over process and removes the PID file. These are the particular lines I've added:

Code: [Select]

if [ -f /var/run/dhcpcd-$DEVICE.pid ]; then
    kill `cat /var/run/dhcpcd-$DEVICE.pid` 2>/dev/null
    rm /var/run/dhcpcd-$DEVICE.pid
fiI've attached the modified script (with .txt extension, because the forum didn't accept it otherwise).

Thanks, this will be usefull.

Are there still battery charging issues with the latest Cacko?  I recall reading this in another read, but couldn't find it when I searched.

It seems my Z wants to charge forever.  I finally let it go for a few hours but it still never finished.  By finished I mean the orange light never went green.  When I turn the unit back on the status shows 100%, so why does the light stay orange?  I'm wondering if I should power off and try it w/o the ROM loaded.  I just don't want to overcharge and kill the battery.

I know maslovsky said he had that issue and just let it charge up for however many hours, and after that it seemed to be good.  Anyone else find that to be the case?  I just don't want to kill my unit.

Have a C860 with 1.22A.

Thanks.

First of all, you won't kill your unit or battery. It may only be annoying. What I found out is that if you plug in AC adapter when Zaurus is suspended, then it stops charging when battery is full. Try this with your Zaurus and let me know if it works for you.

I7ve found with my C760 (with Cacko, Sharp and TKC roms) that if I have the unit on when charging with AC adapter it take forever for the LED to turn off (not I've never seen it got green, just orange or off) one time I left my Z on and plugged into the AC adapter, sometime between 20 nad 26 hours (I went out and missed the actual event) the led went out. however as soon as I started using the Z agian, the light came back on.

This experience led me to believe that the Z on max backlight uses just below the power supplied by the ac adapter, if you access the CF, SD, speakers etc then this goes to just over. Meaning the Z will never consider itself fully charged while powered on.

As per maslovsky's reply, if I want it 100% fully charged then I suspend it (this also shortens the charging time dramatically)

No complaints here, you guys have been great!

I ran into a problem in both 1.22 and 1.22a-lite between Opera and qpdf. Opera associates itself with PDF files which blocks qpdf. To open a PDF file you have to open qpdf first, then browse for the file from there.

To fix it I just removed the pdf mime type from Opera's .desktop file. It seems odd that Opera was associated with PDF, as it doesn't seem to be able to open them. (Every time I try it just gives me a download prompt)

Opera was installed first in both cases.

Another thing about Opera - can you resize the fonts independant of the magnification? On my 5500 I seem to recall being able to set Opera to some small magnification to reduce screen element size while simultaneously boosting the font size for readability.

column sorting fscked in system info -> process tab. sorts wrong.
kino2: double tapping column header side brings undisplayed column back instead of fitting column to content width.
