Title: Difficulty getting online with OZ 3.3.5
Post by: jbrjake on January 25, 2004, 01:35:53 am

Earlier today, I flashed my SL-5600 with OZ 3.3.5. When I put in my Linksys WCF-12, the Zaurus recognizes it, and the light on the card stays on steady. When I click on the wifi icon on the bottom of the screen, it shows me connected to my wifi net. In fact, I can even ssh to my laptop, which is on the same wifi network.

When I open up Konqueror, however, and try to get to, say, google, I get an error message: \"Unknown host www.google.com.\"

I don\'t think my problem is with DNS. My /etc/resolv.conf file is fine; the Zaurus correctly got the DHCP data from my wireless router, and the file is exactly the same as the one on my laptop.

If I ping a machine on my wireless network, it\'s successful. But if I ping, say,  17.112.152.32 (www.apple.com), I get \"Network is unreachable.\"

What am I missing? I\'m sure it\'s really simple...

It sounds like a routing issue.  Requests within your subnet work fine, but requests outside of it aren\'t being sent to the gateway (your router).  Try using route to manually set the ip for your default gateway.

The previous replyer is correct. Check your route table. I had to add a default gw route to mine.

The busybox in OZ 3.3.5 has a small issue - add the full path to \'route\' in /usr/share/udhcpc/default-script to fix this.

Thanks to everyone who gave me their 2 cents. While Waxor and the guest\'s solution would have worked, I went with Mickey\'s slightly more elegant, dynamic fix, slapped on two cases of \"/sbin/\" to routes, and everything\'s working great. =)

One other thing I noticed on mine is that ejecting and reinserting the wireless card doesn\'t work properly.  It appears that upon eject, udhdpc is still tied to the port, so the eject scripts can\'t unload the modules (unless you kill udhcpc manually).  Come to find out, the pid file wasn\'t being created in /var/run.

The fix is to change the udhcpc \"-f\" option to \"-b\"  in /etc/pcmcia/network.  The \"-f\" (forground) option apparently keeps udhcpc from creating the pid file, whereas -b does allow it to create it.

Also, as for the fix for wep encryption, on the OZ site it says to add hostap_crypt_wep to /etc/modules.  This causes hostap_crypt and hostap_crypt_wep drivers to not be under control of the pcmcia card services.  A more elegant solution is to add \"hostap_crypt_wep\" to the device class line at the top of the /etc/pcmcia/hostap_cs.conf file.  This way, the wep modue is auto-loaded and unloaded as necissary.

Hope this helps.

Being new to Zaurus and Linux, can someone help walk me through the fixes for this (wireless card recognized but can\'t get out of the local network) and the debug info that gets printed and screws up the display beyond use.  I want OZ and Opie on my 5600.

Thanks in advance.

I found and loaded 3.3.4 and it works great.  Will use this until I am more familiar with this and can apply the appropriate fixes.
