And for some reason, my CF WiFi card shows up as a "Zcomax XI-325H 200mw" instead of what it really is, a "EZ Connect SMC2642W"
In /etc/pcmcia/hostap_cs.conf the config lines for the two cards are nearly the same (with the "manfid 0xd601, 0x0005" line being commented out on the SMC entry.
I tried deleting all of the other config entries except the SMC one but then the card wasn't recognized at all. Now I'm commenting out the "manfid..." line from the zcomax entry to see what happens there.
Nuts, it didn't help. Couldn't recognize the card.
Any thoughts on this?
Remember that you need to restart pcmcia subsystem after editing configuration files:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia restart
Or reboot your Z.
Also check that version field exactly matches the string you get with cardctl ident for your card.
Yes sir, I rebooted it each time (I backed up the original and tried a few intutitive variations that I mentioned with no luck).
Here's what cardctl ident spits out:
#cardctl ident
Socket 0
product info" " ", "SMC2642W 11 Mbps Wireless CF Card", ""
manfid: 0xd601, 0x0005
function: 6 (network)
Socket 1:
no product info available
Here's the SMC entry in hostap:
card "SMC EZ Connect SMC2642W 802.11b card"
version " ", "SMC2642W 11mMbps Wireless CF Card", ""
# manfid 0xd601, 0x0005
bind "hostap_cs"
Here's the Zcomax entry:
card "Zcomax XI-325H 200mW"
# version " ", "IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN/PC Card"
manfid 0xd601, 0x0005
bind "hostap_cs"
Cardctl thinks it's a SMC2642W (which is correct) but the applet in the tray thinks it's a Zcomax XI-325H 200mW card.
The card works great for Kismet, but doesn't work at all for browsing or for Wellenreiter (the connection times out and gets aborted).
Btw, thanks for the great ROM and thanks for your help
