Pxa255 Kernel + Wi-fi Cf

I'm not so sure that running that kernel on a PXA250 is such a good idea since the workaround that is disabled in it was specifically for that processor. You might get some strange results eventually.

Hey, if it's working, enjoy!
That's why I made it clear what processor I was using. Many of us PXA250 owners have used the 'Special kernel' with a sharp rom without any problems... so I'm happy to have the opportunity to use a working 'Special kernel' with OZ.

Thanks for the warning... I will watch for problems using it.

I have both the special kernel and wifi (linksys WCF11) working on an sl-5600. Konqueror runs very fast indeed.

Ack! Now I need a really big favor from one of you guys with a pxa255 and an sl5600. I was upgrading my image when the power went out and now my zaurus is bricked! I need a nand flash backup file. To make one, insert a fat-formatted cf card larger than 64M, press the d+p+hard reset buttons to get into the diag menus, go to the 4th menu by pushing right on the keypad 3 times, then hit the 'w' key.

I would really, really appreciate it if anyone can help me out with this.

I have a pxa 255 NAND made with OZ 3.5.1 I think, only had to use it two days ago to wake up my Z after a bad flash!

It is RARed down to approx 20 meg, do you have somewhere I can upload it to ?

Hey, it would also be useful if we could come to some conclusions beside hacking something together that works... so what did you do to make it work? Is it a rebuild of the modules?

I did a full opie-image build of the openembedded tree with the kernel parameters tweaked to remove the cache workaround. Other than that, everything should be the same as what you'd get from openzaurus.org.

Hmm, that doesn't bring us very far. Ideally we would need know what exactly needs to be rebuilt.

If you just want the kernel modules you need instead of downloading the whole opie-image, they can also be found at:
