Socket Low Power Wi-fi Under 3.5.2?
« on: February 22, 2005, 10:52:43 pm »
Up until 3.3.6pre1 days, my Symbol Socket Low-Power 802.11b CF card was a never-fail. It doesn't seem to be recognized by OZ 3.5.2 - it says "unsupported card" in the little card status thing.

Is it just a missing ID for this card? I seem to recall it didn't use the Prism/Hermes/Orinoco driver (at least directly). Is the driver a loadable module to be had somewhere?

Thanks!

p.s. Running Hentges ROM, which rocks, except for this little problem, on a 5500

p.p.s. - A bit more searching and googling  - I'm looking for the spectrum24  and spectrum_cs packages (or at least they used to be called that), but I can't find them in the 3.5.2 OZ feed. Anybody know where those are?

Mine works out of the box here w/ (standard) OZ 3.5.1 and OZ 3.5.2. The drivers are contained in the orinoco-modules packages.

Thanks, Mickey. I do seem to recall coredump mentioning that he didn't have a wi-fi card, so that's probably why it isn't in his ROM or SD image. I found it on his feed.

Thanks again, and, as always, thanks for all your hard work on OZ. It really is greatly appreciated.

Uh-oh. orinoco_modules is already installed. I wonder if my trusty Socket card has packed it in?

I'll need to scare up another CF wi-fi card to see, I guess.

(Later...)

Is the Linksys WCF12 any good? Or at least supported by 3.5.2?

Socket Low Power Wi-fi Under 3.5.2?
« Reply #5 on: February 24, 2005, 04:04:23 pm »
No joy on mine - I'm running Hentges 3.5.2 as well, and I get "unsupported card" when I put it in.  Cardctl Ident says:

"Symbol"  "Spectrum24 LA4100 Series WLAN PC Card"  "1.00"
manfid 0x026c, 0c0001

I looked on the Hentges feed but didn't see the right modules package - my Zaurus is pretty much standalone, so I need to download the ipkg and transfer it over with a CF card - anyone have a link to the right package?

Thanks for any help.

Hi. I´ve flashed OZ 3.5.3 and there´s no spectrum_cs in Orinoco-modules.

root@dino:~# ipkg files orinoco-modules
Package orinoco-modules (0.13e-r3) is installed on root and has the following files:
/lib/modules/2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix/net/orinoco.o
/lib/modules/2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix/net/hermes.o

I could not find spectrum_cs nor orinoco_cs.

in the /etc/pcmcia/config there is the:
device "orinoco_cs"
  #class "network" module "hermes", "orinoco", "orinoco_cs"
  class "network" module "orinoco_cs"
That tries to load orinoco_cs.
There isn´t such module.
root@dino:/lib/modules/2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix# find |grep orinoco
./net/orinoco.o

Maybe my feeds are wrong? (didn´t modify since flashing this morning)

src/gz base [a href=\"http://openzaurus.org/official/unstable/3.5.3/feed/base/]http://openzaurus.org/official/unstable/3.5.3/feed/base/[/url]
src/gz console http://openzaurus.org/official/unstable/3.5.3/feed/console
src/gz devel http://openzaurus.org/official/unstable/3.5.3/feed/devel
src/gz libs http://openzaurus.org/official/unstable/3.5.3/feed/libs/
src/gz opie http://openzaurus.org/official/unstable/3.5.3/feed/opie
src/gz upgrades http://openzaurus.org/official/unstable/3.5.3/upgrades/

What am I missing?
Thanks!
Sebastian.

This is Probably not terribly useful, but I've got a Symbol Spectrum24 (Identifies as an LA4100, too) that works perfectly for me using the latest Hentges ROM (T7, OZ 3.5.2) I had to re-flash with T7 recently to get the 802.11 settings in the Network Control Panel, but since then it's worked perfectly.

I've got the same card, working great, and I believe it's identified as an LA4100 too.  The spectrum_cs module is present and works great in stock OZ 3.5.3.

I see you both have a SL-5500
So I must conclude that is not present for the SL-5600...?
Sniff
Well, anyway, it was ununsable un 3.5.2
I recall Orinoco-modules to be in the opie image. That should be the reason for not appearing in my sl-5600.
...sometime later....
Yes!
at [a href=\"http://openzaurus.org/official/unstable/3.5.3/feed/machine/poodle/]http://openzaurus.org/official/unstable/3....machine/poodle/[/url]
is the  orinoco-modules-cs AND  orinoco-modules.
Orinoco-modules-cs has spectrum_cs and is not in the feeds nor in the 3.5.3 opie-image.
But orinoco-modules (without _cs) is already.

I´ve already downloaded it and installed but my card still doesn´t work.
Same problem as in 3.5.2 (sorry the long post :-S )
