Linux Kernel 4.9 and a (not so) happy Jornada 720

For this do the following steps:
You have to edit your sources.list

vi /etc/apt/sources.list

to this line "deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged ascii main" add "non-free" it should look like this:

deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged ascii main non-free

After that insert your ethernet card, or working wifi card (you need a internet connection) and do an apt update. Now you can install the required packages
apt install firmware-libertas

I can add cards to the kernel source if you tell me the id your card has. You need to put the card into a working Linux PC with PCMCIA or the Jornada itself booted from a working CF card to Linux. Here is a short description: http://www.sp-net.at/wiki/doku.php?id=jornada_j720_linux_cfdriver

If you have a currently not supported card, i need the output from these two commands:
$ cat /sys/bus/pcmcia/devices/0.0/prod_id1
$ cat /sys/bus/pcmcia/devices/0.0/prod_id2

Speaking of doing a fresh install....

What files should I use?

Seems like there are various files available....

Not sure which ones are best to use now.

And with using the Ambicom WL54-CF v.2.1.

Thanks!

Mark

Thanks, as always, Joval, for your kind and helpful help....



Since I have the 32GB 'Transcend' card, the 32GB image with the 'whole enchilada rolled in' (keymaps too?....), would be great!

Still on vacation up north?

Good news
I found a way to get the Ambicom WL54-CF card working! Now we have a card that supports WPA2 in Linux.

You need to install firmware-libertas and connman. (you can use TAB for auto fill the wifi_ name)

$ sudo apt install firmware-libertas connman

Now insert your card and follow the instructions for connman (I copied them from the Debian wiki https://wiki.debian.org/WiFi/HowToUse):

$ /usr/sbin/connmanctl
connmanctl> enable wifi
connmanctl> scan wifi
Scan completed for wifi

connmanctl> services
YOURSSID wifi_f8d111090ed6_6d617269636f6e5f64655f6d6965726461_managed_psk
... ...

connmanctl> agent on
Agent registered

connmanctl> connect wifi_f8d111090ed6_6d617269636f6e5f64655f6d6965726461_managed_psk
Agent RequestInput wifi_f8d111090ed6_6d617269636f6e5f64655f6d6965726461_managed_psk
Passphrase = [ Type=psk, Requirement=mandatory, Alternates=[ WPS ] ]
WPS = [ Type=wpspin, Requirement=alternate ]
Passphrase? YOURPASS
Connected wifi_f8d111090ed6_6d617269636f6e5f64655f6d6965726461_managed_psk

connmanctl> quit

And now you have a working WPA2 encrypted wifi connection!
Remember that I tested this on a fresh installed system, if you like to do this on a system where you connected with other wifi cards to different networks, you have to remove wpasupplicant, wireless-tools, iw and all your config files before you install connman.
