I've had absolutely no success at all getting wi-fi working on my connex/netCF combination. =20 I've tried both the factory flash images and my own built flash images. I have both a Belkin F5D6060 and an Ambicom WL1100C-CF; neither works. I've followed the instructions to disable MMC support and enable CF support in /etc/modules. I added "auto wlan0" to /etc/network/interfaces. Still, neither card works. =20 Among my problems (these examples from the factory flash imaged gumstix): =20 Here's iwconfig, with hostap it should show wlan0 and wifi0 and a bunch of other information, instead it just heckles me for having the wrong versions of things: # iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. usb0 no wireless extensions. =20 Warning: Driver for device wifi0 recommend version 18 of Wireless Extension, but has been compiled with version 17, therefore some driver features may not be available... =20 wifi0 IEEE 802.11-DS Mode:Managed Encryption key:off eth0 no wireless extensions. =20 =20 Here's some dmesg output, it just goes on and on: =20 wifi0: hfa384x_cmd: interrupted; err=3D-110 wifi0: hfa384x_get_rid: CMDCODE_ACCESS failed (res=3D-110, rid=3Dfc82, len=3D2) wifi0: hfa384x_cmd_issue: cmd reg was busy for 5000 usec wifi0: hfa384x_cmd_issue - timeout - reg=3D0xb300 wifi0: hfa384x_cmd: entry still in list?

Hi Alex, To be blunt I've actually just given up. It was taking far too much of my time to repeatedly rebuild buildroots and try them out, only to see them fail. I've tried precisely the simple directions to enable wifi, and I've tried not one but two cards (the Belkin F5D6060 and the AmbiCom WL1100C-CF). Either I have missed something (quite possible) or there is an equipment failure in the loop. It would be nice if you found a solution, and perhaps my priorities will change and I will have another go at it myself, but for right now my gumstix sit in their boxes.

I'll keep trying, for sure (it was why I bought it in the first place!). What I _can_ say is that all of this worked fine with the buildroot of about 12 months ago, so I'm pretty sure all the hardware I've got is up to the task. I'm not really sure of the major differences in between then and now, but some possibilities might include the Linux kernel version and the hostap drivers (am somewhat out of my depth here). Maybe I'll just grab a 12-month-old buildroot and use that. alec -- Alec Waters CCNP Dataline Software Ltd Clarence House, 30-31 North Street, Brighton, BN1 1EB, UK Tel: +44 (0)1273 324939 Fax: +44 (0)1273 205576 www: http://www.dataline.co.uk IPv6: http://www.ipv6.dataline.co.uk |

Hi Alec, I've managed to fail with the old (r773 or whatever) buildroot, so good luck to you. There have definitely been major changes between then and now; as of kernel 2.6.14 HostAP is part of the Linux kernel itself, and the author recommends not using the standalone driver package. (http://hostap.epitest.fi/) Please accept my sincere apologies for misspelling your name in my previous post. Regards, Russell -----Original Message----- From: gum...@li...

I'd really like to see new products being announced on the list when they're available. Perhaps create a gumstix-announce list? I only see it as part of the Wifi-robostix pack. The card doesn't seem to show up as an individual item. Which allows me to express my pet peeve about the online store. Whenever something goes out of stock, all you get is the "Sorry this item is out of stock page". You can't see the pictures, or click on the product info or tech-info link, etc. Wouldn't it better to just replace the "Add to cart" with an Out of stock graphic? <rant off> -- Dave Hylands Vancouver, BC, Canada http://www.DaveHylands.com/ |

I've now marked it as "visible, 0 in stock" so you should be able to see it again, though you still can't buy it. I'm told now that they should be back in stock by monday, but I don't know how many are expected -- so they might go out of stock again. > Which allows me to express my pet peeve about the online store. > > Whenever something goes out of stock, all you get is the "Sorry this > item is out of stock page". You can't see the pictures, or click on > the product info or tech-info link, etc. Yeah, every time we have our weekly meeting at Gumstix, our marketing folks ask me when I'm going to fix that. I agree, it's one of the more irritating aspects of the online store. The way it's coded in the site though, it'll be tricky to change it. > Wouldn't it better to just replace the "Add to cart" with an Out of > stock graphic? That is actually a pretty good idea -- I'll look into that. C |
