Enthusiast Hacks WiFi Into Treo 650
Sammy at PalmAddict writes "Shadowmite, a Palm enthusiast has managed to hack his Palm One Treo 650 smartphone, enabling it to work with the Palm One WiFi card, despite Palm admitting the Treo was never designed to use WiFi technology. Shadowmite managed to get his hands on the Pa1m One WiFi card and modify it so that his Treo 650 could use it. The experiment was a success, and is causing quite a stir -- putting pressure on Palm One to provide support and fully support the new drivers."

3. Click finish
How to install network card driver in Linux:
First we need
1. the kernel sources , I will use 2.4.22. Other kernel versions will probably not work unless you use an odd-number minor version number, but as always YMMV.
2. Wireless configuration tools (http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/L
3. the driver acx100_pci for linux, download it from CVS (or latest version) on http://acx100.sourceforge.net.
4. install CD of DWL-650+ or windows files for this wireless card.
Make sure you get the correct versions of above, and their dependencies, or you may trash your Linux install and have to fdisk. Remember, THIS SOFTWARE HAS KNOWN PROBLEMS AND LIMITATIONS. DON'T BLAME US IF THE SOFTWARE EATS YOUR SYSTEM, DESTORYS YOUR DISK OR MAKES YOUR CORN-FLAKES SOGGY. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Steps to make the driver works:
1. Compile a new kernel with at least
CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL=y
CONFIG_MODULES=y
CONFI
CONFIG_NET_RADIO=y
2. install tools from http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Li
3. Configure and compile acx100_pci drivers
# tar xzvf acx100-0.1h.tar.gz on
put the next windows files (or from DWL-650+ install CD) on the directory acx100/firmware
RADIO00.BIN
RADIO11.BIN
WBLAN.BIN (it may be on uppercase)
4. install the driver
copy recent compiled driver acx100/src/acx100_pci.o to
modify modules.conf (add these 2 lines)
alias wlan0 acx100_pci
options wlan0 debug=0xb firmware_dir=/root/acx100/firmware
5. test the driver
# insmod acx100_pci
it must show a little debug information about the driver and the firmware. Be sure the directory
lsmod must show
# lsmod
Module Size Used by Not tainted
acx100_pci 181952 0
6.Configure parameters and network:
# ifconfig wlan0 192.168.0.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
# iwconfig wlan0 essid myapessid mode managed channel 6 key off rate 22M
essid is the ESSID name of my AP mode must be managed for wireless-ap or Ad-Hoc to use without AP
KEY off is to use wireless without encryption rate 22M is working for me , if troubles use rate 11M
# ping 192.168.0.202

That's all Folks
And I hope they do the same for my IPOD!
Especially since I'm a boylover who posts at http://boychat.org/ People want to kill me and they don't even want to try and understand who I am. It is a depressing life.

It works, but you only get 30 mins max usage out of it. Check out http://www.pdabuyersguide.com/ubbthreads/showthrea ded.php?Board=UBB14&Number=14903
