Cacko 1.23 Full And Linksys Wcf12
« on: February 01, 2006, 08:04:09 pm »
Hi,

I installed Cacko 1.23 full on my brand new SL-C1000.

I configure WLAN with static IP etc. (without WLAN card in CF)
Then put in WCF12 card for the first time.
Tip on Connect and it connects. OK

Then, when I disconnects and reconnects for second time Cacko 1.23 full is hanging when trying to initialise WCF12, and timeouts after a while!
I can never get it up and running anymore (have to reinstall Cacko, then same again).

dmesg:
CMDCODE_ACCESS failed (res=-110, rid=fd51, len=6)
etc. ....

Any solution?

first try: with zaurus on, remove card, wait 5 seconds, reinsert.

second try: remove card, execute "/etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia restart", reinsert card.


Give-me your feedback.

Thank you for fast reply!

The first method does work sometimes and sometimes not (Waiting 10 sec.).
(I was trying it myself before posting but I must av been to fast reinserting the card)

The second method work most of the times, but I had one situation during testing where I had to experiment myself because pcmcia restart didn't work; I then tried pcmcia stop -> pcmcia start (WiFi card removed). After inserting card I get connection!

It seems to be a problem with deinitializing of WiFi card during disconnecting phase. This problem is consistent. I can never reconnect right after a disconnect. I must always use one of your methods to get connected after a disconnect. Frustrating!!!

Is this problem just for WCF12?

It would be great if you or someone else (Cacko?) had a permanent solution for this!

WCF12 has been working for Cacko 1.22, right?

Thats the same card I use on my SL-C3100 with Cacko Full 1.23 and have had zero issues.  Insert, Suspend, Resume, and Removal all works without a hitch.

I also have no problems using a WCF12 with my SL-C1000 and that version of Cacko.

I have now upgrade the firmware in WCF12 to pk010101.hex and sf010804.hex.

Upgrade went fine, but same result!

I purchased my C1000 from FigLabs. I have no problem with my WCF12 with original firmware and FigLabs ROM version.

Strange?

I will now take a NAND-backup of Cacko 1.23 and go back to FigLabs ROM just to test if it still working there.

I will be back with results.

Cacko use hostap for these card. FigLabs, Sharp, use wlan-ng.

I beleive this is a hostap trouble.

Yes I think you are right. I get this message when connection are up and running for the first time after reboot:

wlan0 (WE) : Buffer for request 8B1B too small (0<13)

This is the only error/warning message after this first connection is established.
google gives only one indication to this problem; driver problems.

This is what dmesg gives during disconnecting:

I don't know if this is related or not but yesterday I installed X/QT and now suffer from this same issue, that as my previous post stated I never had before.  I also noticed that GAIM no longer has menu items which it also did before the X/QT install.  I used Meanie's cramfs images if that means anything.  Will probably re-flash again just to clear it all out again.

Hi, just to say that i had the same issue.
i had the same trouble with Cacko 1.23 full and a WCF12 wifi CF Card. The  thing to do after each connection was to run a script with something like "sidmoraes" tips but with /eject and /insert..
An other thing was the received level that was always full.
I'm back with the sharp rom now, mainly because of this.
I' have the X/QT from meanie installed too. I'll try to find the little script that allow you to do not remove and insert the card for each new connection.

Hi,

I'm trying to replace hostapd by wlan-ng on borzoi

first I identified the additional/ missing files between cacko 1.23 and sharp original rom, then I tried to reconfigure hotplug to load original modules (prism2_cs & p80211, right?) instead of hostap, hostap_cs and hostap_crypt_wep, but I didn't succeed: adding module names to blacklist doesn't work, why?

so, how do I get hotplug to load the old modules?
which is the relevant *map-file?
how does hotplug know which *agent(s) to use?
which agent is used for hostap?
what role do *.conf-files (in /etc/hotplug & /etc/pcmcia) play?
where do you configure, which *.conf-files to use and which ones not?
which program calls the *.conf-files?
which program loads the modules?
what could possibly be the reason why /etc/hotplug/blacklist doesn't work?
why is /etc/sysconfig/hotplug missing?
is there any detailed information on the hotplugging process as it works here?

and: what would be the next steps after loading the old modules??

any help is very much appreciated

regards

You'll need to start form here, I think:

http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net/

And one more note: pcmcia doesn't use hotplug at all (only USB does), at least on Zaurus with 2.4.x kernel...

oh.. that hint does indeed help a lot!!    thanks!

things I found out:
- to reconnect after disconnecting, "cardctl scheme qpewlan0" and "cardctl reset" work, so you don't have to remove and reinsert card (thanks to maslovsky in another thread)
- in order to stop dmesg-error messages with idle card the only way is "cardctl eject" (confirm?)
- secondary firmware-upgrade to 1.8.4 does NOT help (before I had 1.7.4)

any ideas on how to proceed?
just write a short script to set scheme to qpewlan0 and reset everytime you insert card respectively eject everytime you disconnect from network?
go back to wlan-ng?
or further investigate in which direction?

regards
