Installing Packages
« on: October 08, 2005, 12:49:13 pm »
I'am trying to install hostap-modules_0.1.2-1_collie.ipk on my SL5500  rom3.1 .
ipkg install  hostap-modules_0.1.2-1_collie.ipk I get errors, can't open a directory in /tmp, to
I don't have permissions, what't going on? The add/remove packages program will not see hostap
on a SD card, so it won't install. If I try to move hostap to /root I don't have permissions
I'am trying to setup a wireless CF card, Ambicom WL1100C 802.11b and the drivers wavelan-cs
won't reconize this card.
I had this card working on a Ipaq using hostap-cs drivers.

Thanks
Jim
