Cacko 1.23 Full And Linksys Wcf12

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

Check the Prism chipset revision in your card (run hostap_diag when card is resumed). Usere reported problems with resuming in HostAP driver with Prism 3 cards...

once again thanks - but one (maybe in professionals's eyes) stupid question:
are cf-cards (here: wlan) managed by hotplug or pcmcia in cacko-1.23? i understood your note above, that i had to investigate pcmcia. if it is managed by hotplug though, why doesn't blacklist work?
thx

NICID: id=0x800c v1.0.0 (PRISM II (2.5) PCMCIA (SST parallel flash))
PRIID: id=0x0015 v1.1.1
STAID: id=0x001f v1.8.4 (station firmware)

additional info:
suspend/ resume works fine as long as ifconfig wlan0 is up, problems only occur if wlan0 is down  

anyone any ideas?

temporary solution - quick and dirty (actually more dirty than quick):
- NEVER use DISconnect
- use eject instead (eject icon provided or cardctl eject 0)
- in order to easily reconnect do the following:
  - write short script "reconnect.sh":
     #! /bin/sh
     cardctl insert 0
  - save to /usr/local/bin and chmod a+rwx reconnect.sh
  - write desktop file for reconnect.sh or copy /home/QtPalmtop/apps/Applications/mc.desktop and modify this (e.g. "reconnect.desktop", Exec=reconnect.sh, Icon=transform, Name=Network Reconnect, etc.)
- sometimes you have to additionally click on "connect" to connect, sometimes it works automatically, i don't have a clue why, does anyone have one?

if there are any better solutions to this problem, that is, if anyone knows of better solutions because i'm sure there are, please let me know (why doesn't this icon stop exploding after clicking it!!??)

Hi, any news about a way to replace hostapd by wlan-ng on cakco 1.23 ?

I just reinstalled the cacko and updated the firmware to  
PRIID: id=0x0015 v1.1.1
STAID: id=0x001f v1.8.4 (station firmware)
like seb.
It is not better, even worst, now if i suspend the Zaurus, it reboots (only qtopia ??).

PS : an other little script to reinit the card :

Code: [Select]
#!/bin/bash
cardctl eject
cardctl insert
PS : I tried a belkin BT card and it works quite well with cacko 1.23 :-). But same issue than with the WCF12 : need to extract and reinsert the card to reconnect after a first connection ...
the script above works with the BT CF card too.

Ok, so here is my problem...

When I plug in the WCF12, I get a message "New Card: WCF12 Linksys blah blah"  The little Link light on the card blinks off and on for about two seconds, then goes completely blank.  

I then open up NetFront and it asks me if I want to connect.  I say yes.  Then I get a Connection Setup Error, "Cannot find the device card for communication."

I tested in the card in pdaXrom and it worked just fine.

How do I get it working in Cacko?

Any help is much appreciated!

Have you edited the .conf file file yet? From Maslovsky's FAQ on wireless under CACkO 1.22 (which is still valid pretty much for 1.23):

Quote
Q: How to I get my wireless card to be recognised?
A: Check entry for your card in /etc/pcmcia/hostap_cs.conf file. Get details of your card with cardctl ident command. You can remove entries for all other cards so they don't get in your way. Also remember that you need to restart pcmcia after editing config file (/etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia restart)

Getting rid of all the other cards' entries listed in that .conf file helped me enormously. Mind you I don't know whether your card is listed in there ...

Card works for me out of the box, cacko 1.23 full.  Went to network setup, added 2 hotspots I use, put card in, select which one I want, and am on.  Never had a problem.

Ok.  I feel really bad asking this, but I've honestly tried doing searches of forums and google to figure this out on my own and come up with nothing.  I even followed the instructions on using vi in the How-to and it didn't work.  No one is answering in #cacko, so here goes...

I want to edit /etc/pcmcia/hostap_cs.conf.  So, I fired up QKonsole.  At the $ prompt I type:

Code: [Select]
$ su
# vi /etc/pcmcia/hostap_cs.conf
Then the file comes up.  From there, when I delete something and then press shift+ to save, nothing really happens.  I hit cancel.  Nothing really happens.  I close the window and open up QKonsole to see if the changes had any effect.  Nope.  Nothing changed.  

What gives?  

I also tried typing:

Code: [Select]
$ su
# login

zaurus login: root
Login incorrect
Huh?

I also tried editing the file in Midnight Commander.  I find the file ok, but then I have no idea of how I'm supposed to actually edit the file from the program.  

What am I doing wrong?  I'm sorry if this post irritates anyone.  

Many thanks in advance!

Ok.  Zeditor is totally easy to use.  Thanks!  I edited the file, taking out all other card entries except for the WCF12, but I still have the same problem.  


When I plug in the card, the light blinks for a second or two and then goes blank.  The Z recognizes the card fine.  

It can't be the card, because it was working in pdaXrom.  

Any ideas?

Edit: Ok, I figured it out.  I unchecked auto-connect and it fixed the problem.  Thanks!
