I can't find the hostap.conf file - where is the file please, and how do I work out what to put into it to ID my card?
Hi Ian,
the filename is hostap_cs.conf and it is located under /etc/pcmcia
If your card is reported as "Zcomax Xi-325H 200mW" it has the same manfid as many other cards (for example my D-Link 660W).
You can just edit the Zcomax entry....
OK...
originally I posted here becase my card didn't seem to work at all, but after reviewing all the posts I realised that I could probably make it work, even if the name was wrong...
So today I did two things:
First I made a small donation to Maslovsky (to ensure good karma), and then I tried cycling through all the settings and "hey presto!", I found some which work. They do look exactly like the ones I had before, so the donation must've helped
The SMC2642W card is still reported as a "Zcomaz XI-325h 200mW" but I don't really mind about that, as long as I'm online again. Here are the settings just in case they're non-standard:
Specific ESS-ID selected
ESS-ID = SMC (...of course this will be different for yours)
Network Type = Infrastructure
WEP = 40-bit (64bit)
Hex entry for WEP Key1
Authentication: Open System
no other options set, IP and DNS automatic.
Anyway, it all works, Maslovsky rules and my Zaurus does everything I need it to again.
Thanks,
Ian.
