Getting Wellenreiter Working with New Cacko ROM

[vishnja]

Thank you so much toadatrix and mickeyl (It\'s a great program, Mickey!)!
It was of course the wrong library... I had some versions of it, but libpcap0.8.1 was the only one willing to install (like Dan reproted..)
NOW, with the libpcap toadatrix send me everything is smoothly running :-)
Maybe it\'s a good idea to put this version in the feed of wellenreiter Mickey?

Thanks again,
Kathrin

Wonderful, I am glad you got it to work.

Have you, or anyone else, been able to get Nemesis installed and working?  I need some help with it as the pointers on irongeek\'s website don\'t seem to work with the Cacko ROM.

[vishnja]

no, couldn\'t install it :-(

[piotr]

could somebody write howto about wellenrieiter and cacko rom 1.21a?
I am searching through internet, not only on that forum but only on some home pages and I am confused alot.
I have 760 with cacko 1.21 with hotfix and Dlink660W wifi card and I cannot push everything to work. Ive installed all libs and program itself - 4 ipk\'s.
ive try hints in that thread and from other sites and nothing.
After I change drivers zaurus stoped recognize my card. so no internet etc. I cannot start wellenreiter in root from console also.
uffffffff.
its soo stressing......

If yopu read HOWTOS and forums carefully, you\'ll know that there is a pretty much standard procedure to make your card being recognised by the drivers. You need to add information obtained form cardctl ident command into a configuration file:

/etc/pcmcia/hermes.conf - if you use orinico drivers
/etc/pcmcia/hostap.conf - if you use hostap drivers
/etc/pcmcia/wlan-ng.conf - if you use default wlan-ng drivers

Then restart pcmcia (/etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia restart) or reboot your zaurus.

Sorry, I am complete newbee and I have to learn so much. few days ago It was even problem for me to edit files under console.
obvious things for you take me lot of time so sorry.
I do search forum but every step was pain for me.

Anyway, thanks for your help.

Install Midnight Commander (available for download here) and use it\'s built-in editor to edit files in console.

Also, there are some other Qtopia GUI text editors available. Don;t use the built-in editor to edit system files, because it appends .txt extention to them upon save.

I finally got it working by adding informations found in cardctl ident in hermes.conf (or .hermes.conf) - think this should work for all those who don\'t get their cards recognised by orinoco drivers

[Swifthawk]

Too bad this only works with orinocodrivers. I can\'t use them on my card. Only wlan-ng will work for me.

I\'ve tried the hostap drivers, but nogo. I inserted the cardctl ident info in de conf-file, but connecting to a wifinetwork doesn\'t work.

I seems it stops here. I\'ve been trying to get Wellenreiter and Kismet to work on while, but it just doesn\'t. So I\'ll give up for now. :cry:  Let\'s see if there are beter versions available in a few months.  :wink:

[Mickeyl]

Let\'s see if there are beter versions available in a few months.

Probably not. Too much things to handle for too few people in not enough time.
If there is only one author working on a program and no one sends patches or helps otherwise to bring the project forward, why bother with an open source development model at all?
I\'m considering to release future Wellenreiter versions as closed-source commercial applications.

oh.. bad news but understand wht your mean.
i will starting to save more pocket money.....

my coming shopping list:
1. PSP
2. C9x0
3. wellenreiter III

ciao!

In the secondary menu (that thing you get when you press and hold on the icon), I set Wellenreiter to use root privileges when running.  However, when I run it, I still get the \"You have started Wellenreiter II as non-root\" message.  What is limited functionality, anyhow?
