Thanks javab0y, I sent you an email via the Zaurus/dev forums (since you dont have an account here).

I think there are lots of us in the same boat!

Does this mean that we can have wireless extensions with a prism2 based card?

If so, any chance of uploading it here, or emailing to offroadgeek to put up for download?

It would save emailing it to lots of different people, it could replace the kernel you have already uploaded here.

Its going to be released shortly as part of the TKC suite.  I just want to get some feedback from a select few to see if indeed the drivers are working.  Proto and I \"joined forces\"...so it will be available as part of the TKC feed.  The next kernel will have support for most wireless cards and preemptive as well.  So far the preemptive is looking like its allowing the USB to do its thing...but we will be beta-ing the preemptive part as it has had reports of being \"difficult\" or crashing the Z in other kernels.  I only patched it with the preemptive and did not go through all of what ced has done.  Overclocking can be evil and I definately don\'t want to be responsible for frying someone\'s Z.  So I am going to be a bit more conservative on what is going in the kernel.  My goal is to offer up a kernel with as much as possible, while being extremely stable.

Yep...same thing here.  Have either of you tried turning on the BLUEZ configuration in the kernel instead of loading it by module to see if this may rectify this problem?  I will do a little research into this.  This will be sad if we need to remove preemptive.  The Hancom apps launch so fast, they practically are ready to use upon tapping the screen.

I just posted in the Special Kernel thread that I had to recompiled the BlueZ Bluetooth drivers against the patched kernel to get them to work with a pre-emptive patched kernel.

I\'ve just uploaded a new BlueZ package to http://community.zaurus.com/projects/bluez/ which has the kernel modules recompiled against the 5600 \'special\' kernel, but it may well work for any pre-emptive kernel.

O.K test complete on 760

First I installed the package with an original Sharp rom. Installation went O.K no errors. I then updated to rfconf to my phones settings and restarted bluetooth output numerous ins mod errors.

Installed preemtif kernel and after re-boot everything works great.

Thanks tumnus great work

Perhaps a note should be added to the download to say \"Only for use on preemtif kernels.

This brings a very valid point...should ALL the modules be recompiled against the pre-emptive kernel?  I suspect the USB storage crash issues may also be related.  If we can identify all the modules used for the USB storage, we may be able to stabilize the preemtive kernel with this method.

Just for the record I\'m not geetting any usb storage crashes on my 760 with tkc 2.51 (which supplies the usb storage modules) and my own preemtif rom.

Anybody else notice any issues ?

I noticed in the download section this kernel is for the 760 only, why wouldn\'t it work in the 750? I thought their kernels were the same?

Could someone please give me step by step instructions on how to get the socket low power WIFI card to work with the Sharp 3.13 ROM on the 5500?
