Debian / Qkismet

« on: November 12, 2010, 01:40:22 pm »

I've compiled qKismet for Debian EABI  for the Z. Everything seems to work fine. I've included the binary file and the shell script I'm using to launch it, as it does not start kismet_server on start.

I was going to venture into making a package, but the complication seemed unnecessary. Basically just copy 'qkismet' into /usr/bin along with the shell script, if you so desire.

Rename to qKismet.tgz I had to get around the file extension restriction.

Hopefully someone will find this useful.

User Request for Applications / Arduino, Processing And Puredata

« on: November 10, 2010, 10:05:00 am »

Running into a few problems with ant. Still working those out, will post back with more information and hopefully a deb.

By the way, Arduino source code is right around 1Gb, for what it's worth.... big surprise when I tried to download on the z....

Making quite a bit of progress on this, in Debian, however.

JamVM compiled for the Z, instead of using the repo. Also working on getting Classpath installed so JamVM will actually work. Once Classpath is happy with all it's dependencies I should be moving on to compiling the Arduino IDE. That was what I started with, we'll see how it goes. Will report back with other findings.

Thank you so much. I would really like to know where the documentation on how to do such things as you mentioned above. I could not seem to find it on the Angstrom Wiki or on OpenEmbedded. I suppose I do not know exactly what I'm looking for, but I did look.

I got everything compiled, works like a charm. Card is up to date. Now the new problem, packet injection is not working for me. I saw that you(Capn_Fish) were having the same problem on the mail list for Angstrom, but somehow you solved it. The "solution" never made it to the mailing list, at least not in the archives I was looking at. I was wondering if you could offer any insight, or anyone else for that matter. Thanks again! Finally wpa working with my Z. =)

**EDIT** I don't know what I did to get packet injection working, but it is. I upgraded to a later version of Aircrack-ng and Voila. Thanks for all the help from everyone that has taken part in this thread. Happy WEP cracking I go. Maybe even WPA. My 63 Character Key should make the Z sweat a lil. Thanks again!

I really hate to break down and ask, but out of frustration could someone possibly compile the hostap driver with download support for Angstrom 2007-12(?) Akita? Kernel version is 2.6.24. I am so frustrated with this and I'm pulling my hair out with bitbake trying to find how to change the correct files for download support. I can compile packages just fine, but finding the correct file to modify has been a struggle that I cannot seem to overcome at this point. I'm currently running pdaXrom r198 with Capn_Fish's modified kernel and I have no wlan0 interface, or any interface for that matter before or after installing his modified kernel(besides lo). I would like to get back to Angstrom, but this card still having the old firmware is causing quite the trouble. Thanks in advance for any advice or possibly a compiled hostap driver.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Cardctl Missing From R198?

« on: February 07, 2009, 11:48:13 pm »

Back at this, with R198. I have no wlan0 device listed in ifconfig or iwconfig. dmesg still stands as to what it says after the card is inserted. I've also noticed that there was no /etc/pcmcia/wlan-ng.conf file or a hostap_cs.conf file.

I created a hostap_cs.conf file, but I do not know if I need to add anything besides the information for my card. I seem to remember something else being there besides the information for my card, but I cannot recall what exactly it was. I'm going to try to create a wlan-ng.conf file with the hostap_cs.conf file, but I see no reason for having both files within /etc/pcmcia.

What I do know is that hostap modules are not being loaded on startup or when I insert the card. I am assuming this is why I do not have a wlan0 interface, but I am not entirely sure. Any insight on this fiasco would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

**EDIT** Found hostap_cs.conf in the hostap_driver package. I extracted the package, grabbed the conf file and that was that. Still no luck with hostap being loaded at startup or on card insert. After modprobing the driver in, the device is still non existent. I have no idea what is going on, but I do know that I am becoming quite frustrated with this due to only wanting to flash the card and swap back to Angstrom. =/

I am very open to any other operating system suggestions as they are all running in a VM on my MacBook Pro, so if Fedora or openSuse or possibly Gentoo would be a better OS for compiling within, I'll gladly take the time to install and setup the environment. As for the suggestions I will be trying them once I get home. Currently still dealing with a family matter and probably will for the next few months. I'll try to check in with progress, though, as often as I can.

In my experience "gcc cannot create executables" means that you've got bad options set somewhere (like trying to do -march=iwmmxt when it doesn't support it). I don't know if you did anything like that, but it's something to look into.

Also, can you build other packages?

No, it seems as if it needs to compile gcc for arm before it can compile any other packages? That is where it has failed every time is at gcc.

Just a quick question, I have everything setup and it is telling me gcc cannot compile. I don't have the exact error code due to dealing with a family situation at the moment. I was just wondering if anyone else was having trouble to get gcc compiled. It's for akita. Thanks again

Unfortunately, I just reflashed from r198. I have the files, but I assumed that they would not work with Angstrom. From what I've read the kernels are quite different. I could be completely wrong, which is probably true as I do not know much about the Linux kernel and how modules are compiled

No, they won't work on Angstrom (with the normal kernel). You could flash the pdaX kernel with your current Angstrom install (after putting the modules in the correct place), reboot, flash the card, then flash your old kernel back. The kernel should work fine (at least well enough to allow you to flash the card), though I've not tested it with Angstrom.

EDIT: The kernel might be in the wrong format to just flash and have it work with Angstrom (I seem to remember a step when building it that made a 'uboot' kernel). You could try it anyway, though

I would rather attempt to learn how to compile the module myself. I really have no idea how to go about doing so. I know I can bitbake hostap-module or something along those lines, but I have no idea what file to change to add prism2 download support and possibly packet injection, assuming that is part of the kernel module. Thanks for the idea though, I tried flashing your kernel after installing r198 and ended up with no wlan0 device. This confused me and I had been itching to try Angstrom anyways.

I've been searching the wiki to no avail. I'm sure it's in there and I'm probably not using the correct search terms, but I have the environment setup, with their instructions anyways. I assumed there would be some file inside the hostap package directory that might lead me in the right direction, but the only thing that I found were a bunch of .bb files that I had no clue how to change to suit my needs. Thanks for all the help and possibly anymore in advance.

**EDIT** Missing word

Not to bring up an old topic, but I need hostap.ko and hostap_cs.ko compiled with prism2 download support. I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction to setup a build environment or maybe even compile them for me? I have been pulling my hair out trying to flash my wifi card. If this has been asked somewhere else, I do apologize. I did a quick search, but did not look into it that deeply.

**Quick update before I go to bed. I have a build environment set up and seems to be working. I am at a loss when it comes to compiling the module with download support. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. This would be my first time having a go at compiling a module and it seems to be the only choice I have at the moment. Thanks in advance.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Cardctl Missing From R198?

« on: December 12, 2008, 07:34:50 pm »

What does dmesg display when inserting the card?

Note, cardctl changed to pccardctl when we moved to 2.6 kernel.

Late

Sorry for the late reply

On insert, dmesg displayes
pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 0
pcmcia: registering new device pcmcia0.0

**EDIT** ifconfig only displays lo so the interface is not coming up. Also lsmod does not have hostap loading. I have the config file for hostap and wlan-ng with the info for my card in them so I'm at a loss why the card is acting so. Again any help is very much appreciated. And on a side note I can modprobe the hostap driver so I don't believe that is the problem. Although I am not entirely sure.

**EDIT2** I have reflashed my Zaurus with angstrom for the time being, but I am still very curios as to why I got no wlan interface. I just wanted to update this so people knew it wasn't some huge rush or that it really needed an answer.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Cardctl Missing From R198?

« on: December 12, 2008, 03:49:14 pm »

As the title says, I have R198 installed on my C1000. I went to run cardctl eject on my Zaurus and it tells me the command is missing or something along those lines. I was wondering if there was some package I was supposed to install. I have pcmcia-tools installed, which I thought contained the cardctl program. I could be mistaken. Any help is much appreciated.

**EDIT** I found that it was in sbin listed as pccardctl. But this now brings up a second problem. I have a linksys wcf11 cf wifi card in the Z at the moment and it's not recognized. It is receiving power because the light is on and in the card control applet it shows the card's info. I'm just trying to flash the card so that I can have working packet injection. Any help would be much appreciated.

Accessories / Wifi Cf Card For Z

« on: January 03, 2008, 03:21:48 pm »

I'm looking for a CF Wifi card for my C1k, I just joined the board, so you don't know me ;(. But anyways, I was looking for a CF Wifi card that can do packet insertion, something of small form factor would be nice (aka doesn't stick out too far ) but that isn't of major concern. If I missed if this has already been posted, I do apologize. Just I can't find one that  can do packet insertion and has a passive mode. Or I should say that I know for sure can do these things. Thanks in advance

PS: something cheap wouldn't hurt, something like under $100.00 Us would be nice

*Edit* Guess it must have been a dumb question, I am deeply sorry for posting this, because of my lack of knowledge of wireless networking  My bad.
