Setting up Wireless Network in IPaq (Problem solved)!

Hi

I finally managed to get my Familiar 0.4 installation (No kernel updates
etc...) to work with
Orinoco's wireless card and our offices connection point.

The solution was following

1) Edit /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts

# Lucent Wavelan IEEE
# Note : wvlan_cs driver only, and version 1.0.4+ for encryption support
*,*,*,00:60:1D:*)
    INFO="Wavelan IEEE example (Lucent default settings)"
    ESSID="PUT_YOUR_WLAN_ESSID_HERE"
    MODE="Managed"
    RATE="auto"
    KEY="off"
    CHANNEL="3"
# To set all four keys, use :

I could not get encryption to work, that's why following settings
     - key="off"
     -encryption disabled in our wlan connection point

2) Edit resolv.conf

     domain sysline.com
     search sysline.com
     nameserver my-ip-address

3) Reboot

4) Setting up networking
     - Connect to IPaq via Serial Port Programs (minicom in Linux and Tera
Term Pro in Windows)
     - Login as a root
     - Give following command is shell
          ifconfig eth0 my-ip-address netmask 255.255.255.128 up
          route add -net my-network-address netmask 255.255.255.128 eth0
          route add default gw my-gateway-address eth0
