orinoco<\/code> driver for Prism-based WiFi cards. I recently figured out, that the kernel 2.6.24 already contains a better one – hostap<\/code>. This driver support WPA2 and the Master mode (for making WiFi AP).<\/p>\nCONFIG_HERMES<\/code> and enable CONFIG_HOSTAP<\/code> instead. This will be done in any future rootfs release.<\/p>\nhostap<\/code> driver, WPA2 support also requires relatively new firmware. If your Prism-based WiFi card has too firmware version, you will need to update it. Here<\/a> is a very detailed manual describing how to reflash Prism chipset. The utilities and the new firmware (version 1.8.2) can be downloaded from here<\/a>.
\nWARNING<\/strong>: I haven’t tested flashing by myself. I use Zonet ZCF1100 with the firmware 1.8.0, and WPA2 works fine. Please read the manual very carefully and think twice before flashing.<\/p>\nMirrors<\/h2>\n

\nAdded local mirrors.
\nAdded note about WPA2.
\nAdded ToDo\/Issue list. <\/li>\n
\nPackages are updated to the current date.
\nReturned from moc back to mpd, switched from ALSA to OSS to avoid freezing of the daemon.
\nfim is removed, because zgv is much faster.<\/li>\n
\nInstalled a simple drawing tool called zketcher.
\nInstalled another image viewer called fim.
\nThe kernel is slightly modified in order to block handling of the power key when lid is closed and make touch screen work a bit cleaner.<\/li>\n
\nPackages are updated to the current date (including glibc).
\nGPM is installed, works through tslib, useful in elinks.
\nSDL is patched with the screen rotation support (via SDL_VIDEO_FBCON_ROTATION<\/code>).
\nfbi is replaced with zgv, which is faster, can zoom, etc.<\/li>\n
