Symbol Wireless Card
« on: September 20, 2005, 12:52:01 pm »
I just got a Symbol Wireless card LA-4137-1020-WW off of ebay. How do I find out what chipset this card uses?
Is this card plug and play?
My zaurus sees the card in the network config panel.  Do I have to do any manual configuration?

I issue ifconfig -a and see that the OS sees this card as eth0. If I run Discoverer software, it list only devices as wifi0, wifi1, wlan0, wlan1. Not eth0.  What gives? I have had no luck with Kismet either.

I am trying to do some snooping but I do not think the software sees the card.

BTW: I am using a SL-5600 with original ROM.

No idea about the SharpROM, but this card needs the spectrum_cs. It uses a chipset derived from Intersil Prism using a volatile RAM for firmware upload on insertion and resume.
