What Cf Cards Work With Wpa?

[speculatrix]

"Spectrum24 LA4100 Series WLAN PC Card" is not prism but spectrum based card. I was talking about prism based cards which use hostap_cs driver.

the light dawns. oh no! damnit, I bought the card specifically in the hope it was a prism-based one for WPA, since the cheapo Mercury/Zonet ZCF1100 card didn't appear to work in WPA mode.

sigh.

have you tried to flash this one?

Well, according to the faqs, this is a prism3 card not a 2, and it seemed to me from other discussions that the card won't do WPA at all. However, after much googling, I found this:

which says I should be able to reflash it and get WPA working... so I shall give it a go.

I thought it was the same card as my senao, (because it was sold as senao/zonet) but the ZCF1100 must be a newer card

I found info was inconsistent... you have to go by the output of
"cardctl config ; cardctl status ; cardctl ident ; cardctl info". It was the "ISL37100P" that led me to the conclusion that it was a prism3. elsewhere I read that other zonet cards were senao based and prism2/2.5. The moral of the story is that you can't tell what a card is until you put it into a linux box and ask it!

well, after reading the Pavel Roskin site, it seemed that it was unlikely I could mis-flash my zonet card, so I tried it, and it worked! So now I have station firmware 1.8.4.

# hostap_diag -a wifi0
Host AP driver diagnostics information for 'wifi0'

NICID: id=0x801b v1.0.0 (PRISM III PCMCIA (SST parallel flash))
PRIID: id=0x0015 v1.1.1
STAID: id=0x001f v1.8.4 (station firmware)

For my next trick, getting WPA to work.

Woohoo! I can now confirm that WPA did indeed work after flashing/upgrade. The only snag was that my Z then joined the network at work and decided to take control of the windows domain and break everyone's login! I have t (o quickly "disconnect" it from the network, and then remove the entries from inetd.conf to stop smb starting up!

So, to recap what I got to work:
Zaurus SL-C860
Cacko 1.23-heavy
Mercury/Zonet ZCF1100 CF (prismIII) card with station firmware 1.8.4
802.11b with WPA using standard wifi setup, adding the "WPA=y" flag into the wlan-ng.opts and setting up /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file


How I reflashed: using a PCMCIA adaptor to put the card into my laptop and using the hostap utility called prism2srec command to reflash.

Did you set wins support = yes in smb.conf? That makes Zaurus behave like a domain controller

The same can be done on Zaurus, just need to awake the card - connect to something or type cardctl scheme qpewlan0; cardctl reset;

the line "wins support = yes" is commented out in default cacko1.13 smb.conf file. I think it should DEFINITELY be set to NO. Otherwise you can upset people!

But I must admit, I've not been running cacko 1.23 long enough to even think about tailoring the smb.conf file... I even forgot that the Z runs samba by default!

I got the error that it couldn't reflash when I was running cacko1.22, I didn't try with cacko1.23 as by then I'd starting trying with my laptop.

One oddity was that when wifi0 starts up (maybe only with WPA, I haven't experimented), usb0 disappeared altogether!

One good thing: kismet runs again, previously in c1.22 the kismet client would segfault, and I never found out why. I'm dead chuffed with c1.23 in many ways!
