Problems with wl2400 under winXP

[acuarium]

Hi every body ...
I have a Samsung Wireless Lan Card (wl2400) ISA ... I was traying to use it under windows xp with the driver (star2400-0.9.2) but it doesen't work. When I tell windows that this is the driver it begeins the instalation but at the end it tells me that the devide will not work ... and a error code 10 ... the irq, iobase, etc are ok.
which could be the problem??

Does your card have the the FCC ID: NZO-ALPHALAN 2000 ?

Thanks!

[acuarium]

How can I see it?

[acuarium]

please help me ... I'm still having the same problem ... I don´t know how to see de FCC ID ... but ... what means "error code 10"
please, I realy need help

[tony]

Sorry, I must have missed your earlier message on the 17th.

The FCCID should be on a sticker on the back of the card.

The driver was designed, and will only operate with PCMCIA cards, not all-in-one cards (ie. integrated card + ISA adapter), or cards from other manufacturers.

Thanks!

[acuarium]

I didn't look at the stiker ... but my card is a PCMCIA + ISA Adapter ... you mean that there is no hope for me?

[tony]

If your pcmcia card is separate from the ISA adapter (ie, you can plug it into a laptop), and the ISA adapter is a standard 16-bit pcmcia socket (and detected as such under Windows), then all you need to do is verify the FCCID on the back of the pcmcia card to determine if it is compatible.

Thanks!

[acuarium]

There is "all in one".
I want to thank you any way ..
:)

[tony]

Not a problem. Too bad it never worked out for you.

[export]

I'm getting a failure code 10. When I try to enable the device, I can see the lights come on on the PCMCIA card briefly then go out.

WinXP SP1
Cirrus compatible ISA-PCMCIA adapter
Samsung WL2400 PCMCIA card (branded as a YDI)

Any suggestions???

Thanks!

[tony]

Two quick things:
Under your windows control pannel, what is the name for your Wireless card.
What is the FCCID as printed on the back of the Wireless card?

Thanks!

[export]

Looks like I can answer the next question before it's asked.

FCC ID E2XWL-1000N

Is this compatible???

Thanks!

Scott

[export]

Looks like I can't answer before it's asked!!! Under Control Panel the card is listed as Star2400.

I would suspect these are not the same cards as we support.

Using the original drivers that came with the card, what is the name of the .sys file that gets installed?

[export]

I don't know because I could never install a driver for XP. I have it working with Win95 but I don't see where to get a driver ver. like I can in XP.

??

[tony]

All I need is the file name of the driver (.sys and .vxd files), as provided on the install disk.

[export]

For 95/98 drivers I have;

itwlan.sys
itcmd.vxd

I hope I'm compatible!

[tony]

Can you email me a copy of that driver?

Thanks.

[export]

Done.

I too have some ydi wl2400-pcm and nokia c021 pcmcia cards that I'm trying to get to work with winxp

FCC IDs
ydi: e2xwl-1000n
nokia: e2xswl-1000n

thanks for any help

[tony]

The only cards we support have an FCC ID of NZO-ALPHALAN 2000, and are sold by Teletronics, Eumitcom and (rumored) zCom.

Thanks!

This won't work for you, I don't think. We have a number of the MaxTech / ZCOM XWL420 which are an ISA 'all in one' with FCC ID of M4Y-WL2420 and they don't work in StarOS or with their WinXP Driver.

It does seem there are quite a few people online with 2Mbit ISA Cards. Would all these 2Mbit ISA cards all use the same driver? I'd certainly send one to you for destruction if it would get the others working?

I know we've talked about this before & obviously for just my 12 cards, it's not worth it, but if the same driver work for all ISA cards and if there are many customers out there, maybe it would be worth it (wine, whimper)? :D

[tony]

I'm sure we would be able to write a driver for Windows 2000 / XP and StarOS without many problems. Note that since this is not a high-demand card, I would have to add this to my list of "spare time" activities.

If you are serious about donating a card for the cause, feel free to contact Lonnie.

Thanks!

Sounds good to me. :) I'll email Lonnie and get the address to send a card to. I know how the 'spare time' issue goes, so when you get to it, great. :) I know these are only 2MB cards and they are ISA, but there are lots of them floating around and they do have great sensitivity. Under Windows NT, they were really reliable for us, just that we keep collecting more and more of them as everyone moves to XP/2K and has to go to something different. I think ZCom has a Linux / FreeBSD driver, if that gives you any head start. Really, if I understand the process, it's the ISA/PCMCIA adaptor you'll be writing the driver for anyway, since the WL2400 PCMCIA chipset portion is the same, I think. In any case, I'll send a card and you do your magic when you have time. :D

[tony]

Sounds good. I'll see what we can do.

Does your card have the the FCC ID: NZO-ALPHALAN 2000 ?

Thanks!

I have been at wits end trying to get this card to work on my laptop.

Is your driver only available privately through your os? Or is there a way to adapt it to work for a poor guy like me with a old old card and no hope for support :)

[lonnie]

That card is no longer used or supported. Sorry.
