Then use the PPP dialer to connect to the phone to enable the GPRS connection.
WiFi
Wireless networking is also supported in pdaXii13. Some extra firmware is included in pdaXii13 to
support wifi devices that require a firmware to be uploaded to the device to initialise it.
In addition, Wifi Radar is also pre-installed and configured for most devices and can be used to
detect wireless networks.
WPA is also supported, however, you need to manually add a network config entry into
/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf before you can use wifi-radar to connect via wpa provided your wifi card
supports wpa.
# wpa_passphrase yourssid yourpassphrase > /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
Then tell wifi radar what your wpa driver is which should be either hostap, atmel or wext depending
on your wifi device. On a Zaurus, the wpa driver almost always is hostap.
USB Ethernet
USB ethernet is also supported in pdaXii13. Drivers for several USB ethernet dongles such as the
ones using the rtl8150, dm9601 or pegasus drivers are supported by default which are used by a
great majority of the USB dongles anyways including most of the cheap ones. The hotplug sub
system will automatically load the appropriate driver and configure the network interface eth0. This
is configured in /etc/sysconfig/network and by default is set to use DHCP. Assigning a custom
configuration can be done by editing that file and providing the relevant network details such as an
IP address and DNS entry.
USB wifi dongles are also supported in a similar fashion, except the configuration file is
/etc/sysconfig/wireless and requires a valid WEP to be provided.
