OZ 3.3.6 on Z5600 with WCF12
« on: May 26, 2004, 07:06:02 pm »
OK.. I have been looking and looking with no resolution..

I am starting to feel like I\'m right back where I started when I FIRST got my Zaurus 5500.. I have been trying to get my 5600 as functional as I had my 5500, and to date... total failure. It\'s a gd brick, and wearing down my patience.

Here is my problem:

NOW, after getting OZ3.3.6pre1 installed and working, let me say I LOVE THE LOOK AND FEEL a hell of a lot more than the Sharp ROM, or any of it\'s brothers (Zynergy, etc.). I had tried getting Kismet and Wellenreiter working on those, but had constant issues, so I wanted to go back to what I KNEW worked.. OZ.. well, WRONG!!

OZ does not even recognize my WCF12. When I insert the card, I get:

\"Inserted: Anonymous Memory\"

I am not sure which file to edit.. I saw the post on the DWL650, and saw the addition to the /etc/pcmcia/config file, however, this file doesn\'t seem to list any WiFi cards in general.. it\'s all ethernet cards.

If I could JUST get the wireless working, I think I could get the rest, because it looks like Wellenreiter at least WANTS to work, but having no card to which it can connect, isn\'t helping. It WAS working with the Sharp ROM, but I see no mention of the WCF12 in any of the config files...

Any ideas?

Mickey?

It would appear this pile of crap has destroyed both my CF card, AND my CF WiFi card from what I can tell.. I tried getting back to some \"knowns\" by re-flashing back to Sharp ROM. The system tray monitor telling my I have put something in the CF slot comes up each time, but then niether device works anymore. This has definately been a waste of time, effort, and money. I never had these problems with my 5500.. the 5600 just appears to either; a) really suck, or  I got defective one that has now trashed all my accessories.

*sigh*
What the hell were you doing to the 5600 to get it to do that?

5600, WCF12, CF card, MMC card, all work fine, even when I tried to get the OZ 3.3.4, 3.3.5 and 3.3.6pre1 to work well (exclunding the WCF12, it\'s never worked well in OZ on 5600 (yet), but it works under Sharp-based ROMs) and failed, but it\'s darn close on it\'s own, and now simply use Zynergy and the Special Kernel.

So I guess either you REALLY messed something up, got REALLY unlucky, have a bad 5600, or have bad accessories.
