HOWTO configure 3Com 3CRWE62092A in ubuntu warty(might work in other 2.6.x machine)

Check this website:

http://www.xs4all.nl/~bvermeul/swallow/

The original one might fit 2.6.x kernel would be version poldhu-0.3.1.
Don't use it unless you are using kernel 2.6.0

poldhu-0.3.2jserv.tar.bz2, this modified version is wrote by Jim Huang . I force him to modify it for me with threat. XD

Download above file and put it into /usr/src
I will introduce howto configure it after then.

# sudo cp poldhu-0.3.2jserv.tar.bz2 /usr/src/

First, install pcmcia-source and linux-source.

# sudo apt-get install pcmcia-source linux-source

You need to install the linux-source version exactly the same with your current using kernel version. To check your kernel version, execute this:

# uname -a
After then, uncompress your linux-source and pcmcia-source:

# cd /usr/src
# tar zxvf pcmcia-cs.tar.gz
# tar jxvf linux-source-2.6.10.tar.bz2
# tar jxvf poldhu-0.3.2jserv.tar.bz2

Then we go inside poldhu and get everything ready.

# sudo make

Because the automatic install script doesn't work, we did it by manual:

# sudo cp clients/poldhu_cs.ko /lib/modules/{your kernel version}/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/
# sudo depmod -a
# sudo cp config/poldhu.conf /etc/pcmcia
# sudo /etc/init.d/pcmcia restart

OK, now insert your card and do proper network settings. I will work fine.

BUGS:
This driver is still in early BETA, most of function won't work. Do ask me how to fix it!
* No signal strenth informations
* Active probe won't work
* Airlock won't work
* After power saving, card will halt and die. You need to restart computer.

  1. After a lot of attempts and errors with http://www.xs4all.nl/~bvermeul/swallow/ and no author reply, your module [fork?] works great!

    I encourage to improve it ;)

    If need some assistance and tests, email-me please.

    Thank you very much :)
