Linksys WCF12 on 5500 only works for 45 seconds.
« on: December 31, 2003, 01:15:56 pm »
Now I got one for you.

This is the second Linksys WCF12 card I\'ve tried on my 5500SL using OpenZaurus 3.2.  It works for only 45 seconds or so once in, and then dies (the card, not the unit).

Sharp 3.1x ROM freezes with the card.

The upshot is that I can plug in a Linksys WPC11-V3 through a passive adapter and it works with OZ.  Sharp doesn\'t recognize it.

Any ideas?

STrRedWolf,

I have an exact same problem as he described. Any known workaround or fixes?

Regards,

I have a WCF-12 which was running fine on OZ 3.2 before I flashed over to 3.3.5 (I\'ve not tried it since).

I\'m afraid I can\'t suggest anything, but at least you know it\'s not a generic OZ or 5500 problem.

Good luck,

Well, I already went through two of those cards.  Ether Linksys has terrible QA, or my Zaurus isn\'t working w/3.3 volt PCMCIA cards.
