Planex Gw-cf11x, Rc10.4...help!

[DaemonsGR]

I use this script: (with a folder ~/firm/)

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh
cardctl scheme default
prism2_srec -gs wlan0 firm/pm010102.hex
prism2_srec -gp wlan0 firm/pm010102.hex
iwpriv wlan0 reset 1
prism2_srec -rp wlan0 firm/rf010804.hex
iwconfig wlan0 mode 2
cardctl scheme planex
iwconfig wlan0 essid any
iwconfig wlan0 sens 3
ifconfig wlan0 up
All in the rar file (script and firmware) rename to rar!

EDIT: then I run dhcpd wlan0

There is a very easy solution for this (and similar) wireless cfs.

1) mkdir /etc/pcmcia/firmware

2) copy pm010102.hex from [a href=\"http://www.red-bean.com/~proski/firmware/primary.tar.bz2]http://www.red-bean.com/~proski/firmware/primary.tar.bz2[/url] to the new folder.

3) copy rf010804.hex from http://www.red-bean.com/~proski/firmware/1.8.4.tar.bz2 to the new folder.

now plug the card in... WORKS  (or unplug/replug)

I'd just like to confirm that I followed the instructions above and it works. Amazing! (Well light has started blinking)

Just need to configure it now.

Just to confirm I've now got my Zaurus 3200 with Planex Wifi card connected to my network.

If anyone is interested these commands got me going:

Code: [Select]

iwconfig wifi0 essid channel enc mode managed

dhcpcd wlan0

Hi everyone,

I just got my C1000 yesterday and I tried everything to get my Planex GW-CF11X to work with it.

I'm running
Cacko QTopia Rom 1.12 1029311005
Kernel 2.4.20

I added those files you guys provided to directory /etc/pcmcia/firmware (which I had to create). The Planex Wifi Card blinks.

I tried to run:
iwconfig wifi0 essid <MY_WIFI_NAME> channel <MY_CHANNEL> enc <MY_WEP_KEY> mode managed
(with the proper replacements for wifi_id, channel and WEP key).

I get the following error:
Error for wireless request "Set ESSID" (8B1A) :
    SET failed on device wifi0 ; Invalid argument.

I tried to create a Network profile for my Access Point in Settings/Network.  And it just says "Network Offline" when I try to connect from there.

I thought it might be that I have a busted Planex wifi card but it works on my Thinkpad. I read on some other thread that I should install the ipk on this page: http://support.ezaurus.com/sl-c1000/update/wlan_cf11x_b11/ in order to update the driver (i think). When I try to install that I get this error:
# ipkg install wlan-prism3_1.0.0_arm.ipk
Unpacking wlan-prism3...Done.
Configuring wlan-prism3..md5sum: /lib/modules/2.4.20/net/p80211.o: No such file or directory
'/lib/modules/2.4.20/net/p80211.o' is modified.
//usr/lib/ipkg/info/wlan-prism3.preinst failed. Aborting installation of wlan-prism3

Can anyone give me any ideas as to what might be the problem? I appreciate any input. Thanks in advance!

install hostap modules + firmware loader and then try

[Dobby]

I suspect it's because you're using Cacko as opposed to pdaXrom which the category this post is in. It's a guess though. Let us know if you get it sorted. I've switched to the Sharp ROM for now but don't have my wifi card so I can't test it out.

It's been awhile. But can you point me to where I can get said hostap modules and and firmware loader?

Thanks!
