Upgraded to Sondigo Sirocco v2.1.0 driver and v.1.0.0 firmware for Windows XP/Vista

Submitted by davemars on Sat, 2008-12-20 02:05.

I upgraded my Songido to this level of driver and firmware. This was to allow me to use a new Vista Machine as well as my trusty old XP machine. This sondigo worked great until this upgrade. Now I can only connect via the etherne cable and not the wireless network. I have gone thru all of the readme's and verified I did this correctly. I am connecting thru a Linksys wrt54g, which had previously worked great. I have also verifed the web key, but no wireless connection anymore. Any ideas?

Still not working

Submitted by davemars on Fri, 2009-01-02 18:02.

I have tried what you suggested and still no luck getting the Sondigo to work on my wireless network. I have used your suggestions but nothing seems to work. Additionally, I was able to purchase a "closeout" Linksys WMB54g, and it works fine. Funny thing, it uses the same chipset - CMedia. However, I have decided not to update the firmware as I anticipate that I will have the same problems I am seeing with the Sondigo. The Sondigo dynamic switching and general I/F is much better and I would rather use the Sondigo.

Please advise if you any other suggestion to correct my Sondigo.

I got this working for me

It took me a little while, but I was finally successful getting the Sirocco working on my home network from both a Vista and XP machine - both wirelessly.

Basically:

1. Get and install the Sirocco v2.1.0 driver and v.1.0.0 firmware for Windows XP/Vista
2. Configure on your XP machine first and get that working wirelessly
3. Run the setup on your Vista machine, but exit the setup once the driver is installed and do not go into the device configuration

Upgraded Linksys Router

Submitted by davemars on Mon, 2008-12-29 21:19.

I have now updated my WRT54G to the latest firmware v4.21.1. Still have a Sondigo that will not wirelessly connect to the network. Connection via the direct wired lan to a my laptop works fine though. Would really like to get this thing running again.

I have also put the original firmware back on the sondigo and it has not worked either. Made sure I matched the XP driver with the original firmware as well.

Please advise
