Wifi Card Not Working
« on: August 16, 2006, 03:56:59 pm »
I switched over from openzaurus(where the card worked fine) now it doesn't work at all.  It is a "sitecom wireless network cf adapter".  and I am running cacko 1.23.  Apologies if this is a rather elementary problem but I'm new to linux and handhelds and having quite a hard time.

You might want to try the stock sharp rom instead.  Cacko was missing some wireless card modules so my wireless card didn't work either.

I think it worked in the stock sharp rom, but videos buggered up all over the place.  Multimedia is fixed with cacko.  Damn, it seems I can have one but not the other.

What zaurus do you have?  Videos work just fine for me on the sharp rom using kino 2.

Zaurus C1000.  Perhaps I'll go back to the sharp rom and tweak around a bit.  *sigh* how many roms have i gone through already...

Hmm, it says restore failed when I try to restore it to the sharp rom.  Then it boots up to the sharp rom anyway.  And the network card still doesn't work...

Im having the same problem, also after flashing back from openzaurus.

Wifi card still works on openBSD so i know it isnt broken.. Anyone have any ideas how to install the modules? it worked last time in 1.23....

Ok have now flashed to pdaXrom and wifi works fine (but tried flashing to cacko again and no luck with the wifi) i guess i will stick with pdaxrom for the moment until someone figures a way to sort this problem out....
