Replace wireless subsystem?
« on: August 24, 2004, 02:33:35 pm »
Okay, since no one has any ideas on how to add support for my Proxim card from OZ to the Sharp ROM, does anyone know how to just remove all wireless resources from the Sharp ROM and replace them with the wireless subsystem from OZ?  This wireless thing is killing me.  Yeah, I could just buy a supported card, but I really like this card because it has excellent range and the best battery efficiency I've seen on the few cards I have first-hand experience with.  If you're wondering why I don't just switch back to OZ, you can find the answer to that in my other post below - Adding wifi drivers to Sharp 3.13?

While this might be a complicated solution, there should be a way to do it.  I mean, this is linux after all.

Or if anyone has any other ideas, I'm all ears.

Peace,
Todd

No problem - just build your own kernel and driver modules...

Problem solved!!!

bernr had the following solution to the Proxim card not being recognized:

card "Proxim"
manfid 0x0126, 0x0002
bind "prism2_cs"


I never though to try using less info than cardctl was giving me.
