hostap_cs.conf should be in /etc/pcmcia. Cacko should have included it in thier distribution.

nevermind... I tried installing them via konsole and for some reason got those errors.. I un-installed them then installed them again via Add/Remove Software and it worked fine.

Also, how did you edit the file to allow Wellenreiter to run as root?

Tap&Hold Wellenreiter icon and select \"Run as root\" option. Wellentreiter will complain that it\'s not running as root, but it still works.

If you don\'t want the whole GUI to run as root (usually a bad idea),
you can run Wellenreiter from the command prompt and it stops complaining:

$ su -
# wellenreiter

Doing su to a clean root environment (with su -) is important,
apparently the QPEUSER environment variable causes the error
message.

$ su 

# mount -o remount,rw / 

# cd /lib 

# ln -s lbncurses.so.5.0 lbncurses.so.5 

# mount -o remount,ro /

This should fix that ldconfig message from now on.

so, you are saying by switching the drivers even with a kernel without wireless extensions, you can \"fake it out\"??

offroadgeek · « **Reply #54 on:** March 11, 2004, 02:54:23 am »

I just compiled all the great instructions/suggestions in this thread into a kind of "newbie guide" to setting up wellenreiter.

you can find it in the OESF How-To Docs here

please feel free to make corrections or additions where you see fit

One more option is to start wellenreiter via sudo (if you have that package installed):

sudo wellenreiter

I\'ve not managed to get Wellenreiter running on TKC rom v2 alpha3. I noticed javab0y mentioned something about needing a different kernel. Where can I get a compatible kernel and do I have to reflash the Z all over again?

LadyBug · « **Reply #57 on:** March 25, 2004, 10:50:25 am »

Yes, you need a kernel with the monitor mode etc patches in. There are
several such kernels in ZUG download area, I think one was for
5500 and several for the 7x0 series.

However, I tried all the three 760 kernels with previous Cacko ROMs
and could not get kismet/wellenreiter to run. The newest Cacko ROM
(with its tweaked kernel) was the first one with which I got the thing
running.

Your mileage may vary, especially with TKC.

Ignore me. I\'m an idiot.

Got it installed.

Now, I\'m sure I\'m using the incorrect drivers. I have the LinkSys Instant Wireless WCF12 WiFi card. What\'s the trick?
