I had wireless working well using the instructions you supplied above
and the hint about setting up wep keys on the openzaurus site.
It has stopped working for me in recent builds of
org.openzaurus.oz354x and I can't figure out what has changed.
I've tried both opie and gpe images, and I'm using the following
/etc/network/interfaces file (with a real key, not all zeros):
# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)
# The loopback interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# Wireless interfaces
# you may need to:
# modprobe ohci-hcd
# by hand before this will work.
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wireless_type wlan-ng
wireless_mode Managed
wireless_nick Zaurus
wireless_enc on
wlan_ng_default_key_id 0
wlan_ng_key0 00:00:00:00:00
pre-up modprobe prism2_usb
post-down rmmod prism2_usb
# Wired or wireless interfaces
iface eth0 inet dhcp
iface eth1 inet dhcp
# Zaurus usbnet
iface usbd0 inet dhcp
# usbnet from the other side
iface usb0 inet dhcp
When I modprobe ohci-hcd the green network led lights up.
When I ifup wlan0 I get the following (re-typed by hand):
udhcpc (v0.9.9-pre) started
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such device
Sending discover...
Sending discover...
Sending discover...
No Lease, foring to backgroung.
At this point, if I run ifconfig wlan0 the device is present, but if I
run 'ifconfig wlan0 up' it says: "SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such device".
Do you have any idea how I might get it running?
Thanks,
g.
