New kernel for Orinico/Symbol/Socket users

[jerrybme]

One minor problem, I was having so much fun sniffing my network (and my neighbors), I hadn\'t tried connecting. When I closed Wellenreiter and tried to connect, I found that I kept getting \'Network Device busy\' errors. I am not sure what is causing that but suspect that the Sharp network applet doesn\'t like the Socket drivers and will try setting the card manually with iwconfig. Any one else having this problem?

Try:
cardctl eject
cardctl insert
cardctl scheme default

cardctl eject & insert didn\'t work \'device busy\' error. But I pulled the card and ran cardctl scheme default which did it. Now it connects to network. Thanks Laze!

Hello everyone,

Is there any reason this kernel wouldn\'t work on an 860 (stock jp rom)?  I\'d really like to try out all the improved features, but I\'m afraid I don\'t have the necessary skill (yet) to patch and recompile my own.  I\'ve only seen the 750/760 tried with the posted binaries.  Many thanks.

any chance of getting a ROM compiled with wireless extensions for the 5500? I\'ve been wanting to use wellenreiter with my 5500 for the longest time... thanks again.

Hi dx

I will do one for you but I must make clear that I don\'t have a 5500 or any knowledge about them so it will be built blind. I will just add the wireless kernel stuff as I\'m pretty sure none of the rest (overclock etc) will work.

send me a pm with your email address. If it works for you I will post to the download section here. If I dont get a pm I will presume you don\'t want to be a guinea pig.

Okay im totally lost - has anyone got the JavaBoy(or any other kernel) and Sash/Cacko Qtopia based rom to work with Wellenreiter and a Prism2 based wifi card.

If so please post a link to where to download the files needed that got i working and maybe a couple of quick words on how. Sash/Mickey and me has been trying for a long time to get it to work so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Everytime we got wireless extensions running it screws up normal Qtopia rom wifi, or wellenreiter won\'t properly reconize the card or maybe not change it into monitor mode. The card is the http://www.senao-usa.com/SL-2511CF.htm card - it works like a charm in Kismet and normally for anything else when i flash with a clean

Richjn: I\'ve PM\'d you... I\'m willing to try it out...

Laze: I\'m trying to do the same thing, only with a SL5500 running the tkcROM...

So for everyone else, just to confirm... I should be able to get the sharp rom with a Prism2 based card working with Wellenreiter (and all associated libraries installed) with the addition of a kernel compiled with wireless extensions. Is that correct, or is there something I\'m totally missing?

Yep that will do it.

My first problem to work out is what processor to use. I have the 860 source code that I\'ve used to build 7x0 kernels. This includes \"default\" configs for all of the Z\'s including the corgi. Strange thing is that it uses the xscale settings but I thought the corgi used the sa110 processor.

I will build with the default settings (xscale) unless someone knows this doesn\'t work ?

Here\'s sharp\'s official page on building the 3.10 ROM/kernel... don\'t know if it\'s any help... http://www.zaurus.com/dev/support/build_im..._sl5500v310.htm

You have mail

I will use the old source code if all else fails but I shouldn.t need to.

Forgot to add I\'ve got to go out for a bit so won\'t see replys for a couple of hours

Richjn - i thought you had to use the hostap drivers for proper working prism2 wellenreiter? Which kernel should i use and where to download the correct wellenreiter ipks and libs. If you can point me to it and i can get it to work i will add it to the FAQ and How-to-docs.

Are anyone else using Cacko Rom and Prism2 based card wih wellenreiter?

[Richjn]

Hi Laze

Not sure how much help I can be here.

In order to get Wellenreiter / Kismet to work you need to enable monitor mode for the prism drivers. The route I took was to download the latest Spectrum (0.4.2) and apply the latest orinoco patch againt them (0.14 beta or 0.13 stable) I then copied these directly over the existing 860 source code in linux/drivers/net and recompiled the kernel. I am currently using the tkc 2.51 rom and got my copy of Wellenreiter from their feed along with the required libpcap. Thats it nothing else required.

As far as which kernel to use either mine or javab0y\'s posted here in ZUG downloads will work however if you use the preemptif versions you may need to recompile your bluetooth modules against it. I\'m using the bluez recompiled by tumnus.

If you like I will email you the pre-patched wireless folder so you can just copy it into your own source--send me a pm with an email address.

Laze- I\'m using the latest Cackp Qtopia ROM and have wellenreiter working with Richjn\'s kernel. Go to Mickeyl\'s Sharp feed for the ipks (wellenreiter and the opie libs)http://www.vanille.de/feed/sharp/
