Cxx0 General discussions / C860 Questions
« on: May 10, 2004, 08:32:20 pm »
Welcome to our world!
AC adapter - I use the adapter that came with a creative labs nomad3 (total turkey don\'t buy one) which is also identical to the unit that came with a canopus advc-100 external DV and video capture interface (pretty neat but not for the Z!) 5V at 1A or therabouts and have had no issues.
USB adapter - I have a retractable one that looks like this : unit from shirtpocket.co.uk. (Highly recommended)
This cable *doesn\'t* have an external ac input, it draws power from the USB port and I\'ve just checked - you /can/ flash with it. I think if the amber light is on - you are in business.
I wouldn\'t have thought that a 10Mb NIC is going to be a bottleneck to the Z. I have a trendnet 10/100 unit (and a C760)- if you want to define some tests I\'ll run them and we can see if we can find someone with a 10Mb interface to compare against.

Accessories / Socket 10/100 Ethernet CF Card not quite working - ideas?
« on: February 21, 2004, 10:39:42 am »
To close off my part of this tale I chose the consumerist approach to sorting out the problem, namely I bought another one. ;-) That\'ll teach me for getting things 2nd hand off ebay... just like that wisgo prism2.5 cf wifi card from hong kong that only works on sundays when there is a Q in the month and with a following wind....! I digress
I finally found a US retailer who\'d ship (to the UK) a new trendnet 10/100 unit (which looks physically identical to the flaky socket unit). It just plugged and played and works really well. It cost me 38 ukp (incl shipping which was over half the cost) as opposed to approximately 100ukp for a new socket card.
So, if anyone wants a socket 10/100 cf card that only *looks* like it works for some bizarre practical joke...
Good luck cmoman on your finding modules quest.

Accessories / 256SanDisk SD card is now read-only
« on: January 03, 2004, 07:58:25 pm »
If your sandisk 256mb card is anything like mine, it will have a little white switch on the side that switches it from read/write to read only. The read only setting is labelled \"Lock\" on the top, the other setting is unlabelled.
It should be pretty obvious as there isn\'t much to see on an SD card, let me know if you want a photograph.

Accessories / Socket 10/100 Ethernet CF Card not quite working - ideas?
« on: December 13, 2003, 06:01:37 pm »
I\'ve come to the conclusion that my card is stuffed (to use the technical term ;-)). I borrowed a fluke lanmeter from work and it didn\'t know what to make of the card either, it was as if it didn\'t exist. That said, I\'ve not met anyone who has come across a network card like mine with this sort of failure...
Anyhow. Your problems.
I think that you need a line in your /etc/pcmcia/config that relates to the information that you get back from running \"cardctl ident\". AFAIK linux just idents the card and runs down through the file till it matches an entry and then binds to the driver specified, pretty straighforward. The information you manual told you to add doesn\'t seem to match the ident information though which could well be the problem!
I would try adding lines in your config that look like
card \"PCMCIA FastEthernet\"
version \"CF\", \"100Base-Ethernet\", \"V\", \"1.0\"
bind \"pcnet_cs\"
if that doesn\'t work you could try matching the manfid info insted so change what you added above to read.
card \"PCMCIA FastEthernet\"
manfid 0x021b, 0x0202
bind \"pcnet_cs\"
I\'d reboot the machine after you change /etc/pcmcia/config. There is no doubt a cunning linux kung fu way of restarting the networking subsystem but rebooting will take less time than finding out!
Best of luck

Cxx0 Hardware / More photos of C860 and comparison with C760
« on: December 08, 2003, 05:54:51 pm »
I must have been having some strange dreams or something! I thought that it could act as a usb master device (like a pc does) and thus use all the different usb peripherals. I\'ve probably picked up a rumour about the sl-6000.
Can you access the entire filesystem (and attached SD and CF cards) through the usb drive feature or just a small part of the internal flash?

Silver and black, a classy combination, the gold rumour must have been someone\'s interpretation of some grainy photographs! Now I just need a good excuse and to find someone to take the 760 off my hands...!
Does it actually have usb master functionality and if so, have you put it to use yet?

Software / Tips on Kismet on C760???
« on: December 02, 2003, 03:51:29 pm »
Have a look at this :
http://eyrich.net/people/eyrichjf/zaurus/kismet.html
It\'s a little more comprehensive and involved as it will move the kismet install to the SD card, but the network bits and pieces work for me.
To summarise
Set up a network connection in the network applet with valid but nonsense addresses to get the interface up. Here are some I made up earlier :
In Config
SSID : anything
Network Type : *Adhoc*
WEP off
Channel 1
In TCP/IP
IP 10.11.12.13
Subnet 255.255.255.0
GW 10.11.12.22
If that is the only (or top) connection in your list of wireless connections then it will be called qpewlan0 (regardless of its friendly name that you type in). If it is the second it will be qpewlan1, the third qpewlan2 etc. etc.
from a console (you can script this dead easily!)
su
cardctl scheme CardResume
cardctl scheme qpewlan1
kismet_server
now start the qt kismet application and ask it to restart and away you go. Well, it works for me on a c760 with a netgear ma701! ;-)
PS it\'s easier to eject and reinsert the card when you\'ve finished

Accessories / Socket 10/100 Ethernet CF Card not quite working - ideas?
« on: November 28, 2003, 07:34:12 pm »
I\'ve got an SL-C760 running cacko rom 1.18 and a socket 10/100 Ethernet CF card that is exhibiting some strange behaviour, in that it pretends to be connected but doesn\'t actually receive/transmit information.
The qtopia networking applet allows you to create an entry for it and it runs through a pretence at connecting. If it is given an IP address it \"connects\", if it is asked to DHCP it fails. Assuming that it has a legit IP address and it thinks the interface is up and has connected happily (little world icon not flashing any more), the link/duplex/100 LEDs light up appropriately (incidently it seems to think that half duplex 100mbit is full duplex from the LED anyway but recognises 10 in half and full correctly, but I don\'t know if that is relevant, doesn\'t everyone use 100baseT full duplex nowadays?) and the TX and RX LEDs flick encouragingly. If you try and send information the TX LED flicks apparently correctly. The RX flicks in response to traffic on the net (in sync with the activity LEDs on a switch) but there is no connection. The zaurus can ping itself on the address you assigned but that presumably gets routed back through a loopback.
ifconfig has TX and RX counts and these increment *as if* the card is receiving data. Namely you ping it from a remote machine and the RX and TX LEDs flash (simultaneously) and the RX count bytes received increment by 60 bytes. Incidently a copy of ethereal (packet sniffer) running on the pinging windows box sees nothing coming from the socket card.
I\'ve tried the card at different speeds on different switches/hubs/crossovers/networks with known working patch leads and had exactly no joy.
The cardctl ident information matches that in /etc/pcmcia/config and it is bound by default to the pcnet_cs driver. I *just* installed the cacko 1.18 rom in the hopes that it would solve the problem but whilst there is now an entry in /etc/pcmcia/config for it unlike in 1.17 where I had to add it, it still exhibits the same issues... :-( And no, I\'ve not fiddled with any config files.
It is possible that the card is dead, it was one of those spontaneous ebay 2nd hand purchases (ahem!) but it seems to be so *nearly* working...!
Any ideas would be greatly welcomed...what have I missed?!
Matti
--------
Pertinent info :
cardctl ident gives :
Socket 0:
product info:\" Socket\", \"CF+ 10/100 Ethernet\", \"1.0\"
manfid: 0x104, 0x145
function: 6 (network)
...
appropriate snippet from /etc/pcmcia/config
card \"Socket 10/100 Ethernet CF Card\"
manfid 0x0104, 0x0145
bind \"pcnet_cs\"
dmesg snippet on inserting and using the qtopia networking to start a given ip type connection
pxa_pcmcia_init(0)
eth0: NE2000 (DL10022 rev 05): io 0xf6000300, irq 39, hw_addr 00:E0:98:4B:0D:15
pxa_pcmcia_suspend(0)
eth0: found link beat
eth0: autonegotiation complete: 100baseT-FD selected
Everynow and then you see a
pcnet_cs: ParseTuple: Bad CIS tuple
in dmesg if inserting/removing the card, am unsure if this is relevant.
