need help!
my wifi "pretec" does not work on the zaurus. But it does identify it as a pretec wifi cf card in the terminal. when i plug it into the the cf slot, it identifies it in the cards applet as agere system wifi or soemthing. anyway to help the wifi software work with the cf wifi?

Hey Cresho,
After reading your post I remembered that I have 2 of those pretec cards I bought off the HSN ages ago that I dug out of an old tote box and dropped into my c3200 (running the latest initrd with hdimige-full v5.5.5beta) and have the EXACT same issues. I THINK I might can shed some light on the problem.
I was never able to get these cards to work natively on cacko/sharp unless I manually edited a listing for them if I remember correctly. You could get around that by flashing them up to a more recent firmware and then they could used with the vanilla HOSTAPI drivers. (I believe this might be what pdaxii13 is trying to do.) But I never updated my firmware because I never had a linuxbox available at the time I wanted to do it and so never got it done.
So my question is ... can we manually make a seperate listing for them like we did under sharp/cacko? Or if we update the firmware in them can they be used with pdaXii13?
It'd be cool either way because they're smaller and use less juice than my Dlink DCF-660W! I'd forgotten I even had them or I'd be trying to use them already.
But again I get the exact same symptoms you do...they get Identified as Agere Systems Heremes-I ..... and never initialize.
Maybe that info will get us a step closer. Hope it helps a bit!
