Supported Wlan Card
« on: May 14, 2006, 10:20:29 am »
I'm using a "Zcomax XI-325H 200mW" on SL7500C(C750) with pdaXrom and it works well. The card is recognized once plugged-in, and the connection is established within a few seconds.

However, I have another CF typeI WLAN card with the following texts on it:
"CF-B-AG-01-USI"
"FCC ID: IXMCF-B-AG-01"
"Made in Taiwan"

When I plugged it in my Zaurus, the Power LED on the card never flashes and the card is not recognized.

BTW, The card came with a Windows Driver and a Windows CE 3.0 driver.

Is it possible to use this card on my Zaurus?

Hard to tell without info which card it is. Show 'cardctl ident' output so it can be checked.

Many cards comes with many different names/brands for one card.

It should be one of the Agere Hermes II cards. Do a keyword search on this site should give you some direction.

I think currently Cacko is the only zaurus ROM that supports it.
SL-C1000, sharp rom + tetsu kernel, X apps via X/Qt
EagleTec ET-CWB1000 CF Wifi, $6.5USD Sharp CE-AG06 CF Camera, 2 x 1GB Kingston Elite Pro CF, 512MB Kingston CF, 1GB SD

What should I do if I WANT to ADD support to this card? Does it involve modifying Linux kernel? What knowlege and materials do I need in order to do this?

I'm a Linux Newbie but have SOME programming experience. So I'd like to have a try, if possible.
