Sorry to inform you Socket BT Rev G is not working well after patch 1.21b.

I wake it up in this way:

#cardctl resume
#/etc/pcmcia/bluetooth restart

Also on suspend/resume the card disappears.
Please check the last changes.

I have the same problem - the connect button is greyed out and when I try and search for the device while editing the connection it imediatly comes back and says no devices found with a dialup networking profile - i have tried pulling and reinserting the card as well but to no avial...

So removed hotfix B and the BT dial-up started working again in the normal fashion - i.e. pull and reinsert card and then connect. However I noticed that the Network tab was missing - it\'s seems that the Email, Netfront and Opera Icons had removed them selves - before manually re-adding the config files (would have been a little tricky for me) I re-applied Hotfix A - and bingo the icons came back.

So now that I had some icons back I tried to use the apps and I get no DNS routing even though DNS servers are manually inserted into my GPRS connecton - looking at the connection details whilst it\'s up - says no DNS servers specified - any ideas anyone? - can some one jog my memory as to where the config files are stored for each connection so that I can have a look at the file it\'s self?

cheers

Every time I use Applet Manager applet my z restarts !!?!?!

Anyone else getting this ??

ya, me too.
is this happened to all of u?

[ccrandal]

I tried using the applet manager and my Z has not been rebooting.  However, I did have it reboot once when using NetFront.  If I had the Z on the internet right now, I\'d test it some more.  However, I think this might have something to do with the screensaver since I had the problem back in Cacko Qt 1.20... so I just turned that applet off.

I love the new US date format!!!!!!!!!!!  Thanks Maslovsky!!

Can\'t find any other flaws with the ROM yet.  Looks really solid to me.  I can\'t wait til Tuesday when my Socket BT rev F card comes in so I can try that out.

Hi ccrandal

Where did you order a Socket BT rev F from?

[ccrandal]

A guy on eBay was selling 10 rev E and F cards.  I told him he should advertise here next time... I was the only one who bid on them.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...DME:B:EOAB:US:6

You can try contacting the seller and he may sell offline.

Thanks ccrandal

Unfortunately he only ships in the US(as per his e-bay website), *SIGH* what a pity... :cry:

[ccrandal]

Probably doesn\'t hurt to mail him and see if he\'d make an exception.  When I sell on eBay, I say that I\'ll only sell to US only, but I have made exceptions when people ask me.

The new ROM IS cool. So many things work right now. I had to tweak other ROMs for hours just to get my WLAN card to work.

I can only find ONE problem so far:

It has been mentioned before, but no fix.

The orange charge light goes off after a while. The battery IS still charging, and the battery indicator in the tray says so. However, the orange light doesn\'t stay on.

Any ideas?

Unfortuately, no ideas. No one else has reported such issue, so it might be specific to your Zaurus. If the battery still successfuly charges to full capacity, then don\'t bother...

Hi maslovsky, thank you so much for this hotfix... the memory applet is beautiful! I was having a good bit of trouble getting my Z to behave as a mass storage device, (i think more so since i installed the 1.21a) but immediately it seems to be better!

[omega]

I have been using it all day, the usb mass storage device driver is working great again!  

I haven\'t needed it yet, but the ability to add the swap file graphically is great.  I hate to suggest, but the bee\'s knees would be to get the free space tab from the system info included in the memory tray applet.  Great work.

Sorry maslovsky, it seems that it has stopped working again. Okay, here is my problem in more detail. When i plug in my ipda cable it tries to detect and install the usb network driver (my machine is restricted, so only the mass storage driver that is in winxp works). When i go into the pc link applet it shows it set to sd card. i have tried all combinations of changing back and forth with / without the cable, etc to no avail. It worked all days and stopped just a few minutes ago. I think rebooting causes upset, but i\'m not sure what else. any advice?

[clofland]

I have similar issues with the USB Storage feature. (Which I use a LOT.)

Basically, if I reboot, I HAVE to go into PC Link, change to \"PC Link Setting\" and then go back in and change back to \"Storage\" and then it works.

It is like the Z has THREE USB \"settings\" THe USB Storage that works. The PC Link Setting, that works, and then some sort of odd USB \"Network\" setting that it comes up with on its own and that Windoze is very confused by. It seems to come up in this \"third\" configuration after a reboot, and is sometimes hard to kick out of it.

I had no problems like this with my previous ROM. I couldn\'t find any differences in the files in the /etc/hotplug directory between the two ROM\'s. What other files should I look at for changes/problems?

I think the problem exibits itself mostly on Windoze boxes when one is using both the USB Storage and the PC Link Setting options. I switch back and forth a few times each day and use both on the same machine.

I wonder if maybe the orange light goes out when the battery is FULLY charged. In previous ROM\'s, it just stayed on as long as the power cord was plugged in. I\'ll have to drain the battery good and see if the orange light stays on longer. Either way, it works fine, and maybe it is just a feature. It will keep my orange light from burning out prematurely.

I do appreciate this ROM and it is great!
