SanDisk WiFi/128MB CF Initialization
I'm having trouble getting the SanDisk WiFi/128MB Combo CF radio to respond to standard PRISM II initializations.
There appears to be some extra setup data req'd pertaining to WLAN I/O Base register configuration @ 0x3F0 and 0x3F2
Also, WLAN activation via a register @ offset 0x40 in WLAN I/O addr space is needed.
After inducing how to include the ancillary init's, I still can't get the card to respond to a 'Reset' command sent to offset 0x00.
Any help from anyone who is pursuing creation of a driver would be appreciated.

Is there a web site / forum where the real linux programmers go... i.e. the driver composers / writers

many of the linux network driver authors have mail lists or forums where you can look through the archives or ask questions.
I am not sure about this hardware, maybe start by finding Prism 3 drivers and then looking on archives of mailing lists. This seems like a new beast.

Driver writers in this inutile forum... right
Pissants can't even install a driver... never mind write one

Depends on the driver, its a standard prism2/3 series card right? Try the orinoco_cs mailing list, its hosted off of sourceforge. Just do a search there for orinoco_cs and you should stumble accross it. There's a users and a developers list, both are pretty clear cut higher brow. In the Dev list you should be able to get in touch with someone that will help you wrangle a patch into the driver that'll initialize it right.
Cheers,
Finegan

update
I was wondering if you had any further success with this combo card
I can only manage to get the memory part working using:
card "SanDisk ConnectPlus 128M"
manfid 0xd601, 0x0101
bind "ide_cs" to 1
presumably doing a
bind "hostap_cs" to 0, "ide_cs" to 1
should get both working, but it wasn't confirmed
Have you had more luck?

We (the Zaurus users waiting to see the card working) have opened a special forum to discuss this card's drivers at: http://www.dsitri.de/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=21There is also a description how to make at least the 128MB working.
There is also the hostap mailing list: http://lists.shmoo.com/mailman/listinfo/hostap
The card seems to be a Prism III - so the prism2_cs driver does NOT work.

I have exactly the same problem an jyaron - I've follow the initialization sequence in the linux hostapp driver but the Wifi function doesnt come out of busy when I send the initialize comment. (I'm writing the code for an embedded system (atmega128 based) not Linux). I wrote to Journi who got the hostapp driver working but so far I'm still stuck. So jyaron, did you ever get your code to work?
thanks

There is a solution and just some days ago a tutorial was posted: http://www.dsitri.de/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=148
Hope this helps,

if ya'll still have this page bookmarked, I could use some help with the ConnectPLUS 128 wifi card as well. The problem is that I am attempting to use this card in my laptop's pcmcia card slot. Now, it seems as thought he previous posts only resolved the woes of the Zaurus users. Due to the giant gap (in both memory addressing and instruction set) between PocketPCs and Laptop PCs, I doubt the posts so far will address the driver issues of laptop computers...

"Driver writers in this inutile forum... right

And posts such as this one are the epitome of inutility.
