Author Topic: Need HostAP > 0.2 (Read 2758 times)

I need the HostAP driver for my SanDisk Connect Plus CF card. I also have a Linksys WCF12 that will probably benifit from the driver, too.

So, where can I get an ipk for the Cacko 1.21b rom, or the correct source and a GCC 2.95 cross compiler(prefer non-RPM)?

BTW I have tried the one from the ZUG download.

Any help would be helpful.
Thanks,
Anthony

I bought a AmbiCom WL1100C-CF card. It works perfectly. This is not as important now.

FYI, it's probably not a later driver needed; I've come across this problem loads of times on laptops/PCMCIA/hostap/prism cards. You usually just need to add a pcmcia definition for your card to tell it to load the hostap drivers; under /etc/pcmcia/hostap.conf or something I'd imagine.

... just for the records, the Sandisk Connect Plus (aka the one with dual card functionality) is not supported anyway. Newer hostap drivers won't make a difference.

Besides, you need to patch your kernel since hostap 0.2.x no longer compiles with a stock 2.4.18-embedix. We did that in OZ.

Ah, really (I didn't notice it was this type of card when I posted, but nevertheless)? I was under the impression those cards had a Prism 3 chipset, which hostap did support.

It has indeed a prism3 chipset, but requires a mysterious init sequence which no one seems to be able to implement.
