I bought this Zaurus at the end of April as a Linux laptop replacement, including a serial cable.  I use Kismet, qpeGPS and VNC Server, but none of the PDA stuff.  I'm fed-up waiting for someone to figure out Open Zaurus so I can run more applications.  I will sell it for $500 (firm!).

6000 - Tosa / Kismet with GPS

« on: May 13, 2004, 10:28:21 am »

For the Z to Garmin, I use Serialio 1824.  It\'s 12\" long with male db9 (matches the Garmin serial cable).

I get .gps, .xml, .dump files from kismet.  -- position data fields \"0.0\"

Pardon my noobieness, but how do you \" I reboot into ttyS0 free mode\"?

Thanks, Tom

jerbell --

I\'m running kismet 3.01c and kismet-qt on my 6000.  Kismet will start on the console with sound, but no response to keyboard.  I start gpsd first using -p /dev/ttyS0 -s 4800.  The lat/long fields show at the bottom of the kismet screen with values of \"0.0.\"  My gpsd version comes with qpegps and works fine.  I\'ll uninstall qpegps and try to install gpsd 1.10.  Is your setup the same as mine?

Thanks,

Tom

Thanks lardman.  kismet.conf has gps=true, with gpsd -p /dev/ttyS0 -s 4800 prior to kismet, kismet shows 0 lat long.  gpsd works fine with qpegps and the same port.  Some one will figure it out.

I have Kismet and Qpegps running (thanks to the experts here).  Qpegps reads the Garmin Etrex like a charm.  Can\'t get coordinates with Kismet, however.  GPSD must be configured correctly for Qpegps to work.  Any ideas?

Thanks,
Tom

General Discussion / How do I update a driver?

« on: April 14, 2004, 04:07:57 pm »

I would like to replace orinoco_cs.c  0.12, with a newer version.  I have the
new driver, but can\'t locate the old one (using find).  I\'m new to Linux.  I\'m trying to get Kismet running on my new SL-6000 and I\'ve been told the 0.14 driver may be the answer.  

Thanks in advance,

Tom

ugh... prism_usb  nasty. your only chance seems to be orinoco-0.14 then.

Thanks Mickeyl,

I have orinoco_cs.c 0.12         I downloaded orinoco_cs.c 0.14Alpha     Is it possible to update this?  (I obviously know very little about Linux)

Guys,

I get the same results as Skoorb when the SL-6000 is associated.  Kismet_monitor seems to turn on the radio, kismet_hopper seems to scan, but kismet will not start with monitor or hopper running.  With the SL-6000 associated with my AP, kismet will start, but show nothing.  I haven\'t found a single wireless app that will work on the 6000.

Which driver are you using? (see dmesg)
Probably Sharp still using wlan-ng without wireless extensions on the 6000. No luck then with anything requiring the linux standard API for wireless lan to be present.

Mickey,
iwconfig says \"no wireless extensions.\"
I\'m trying to figure how to send you the dmesg output.

Thanks,
Tom

I\'ve spent hours trying to get Kismet 2.8.1 running.  It\'s installed, server runs -- seems like it just doesn\'t see the card.  No luck with Discoverer and Wellenreiter either.  Wavelanmon partially works.  It displays MAC, signal info, but no SSID (on associated APs).  There has got to be a common configuration problem.  Where are the smart Linux guys?

Craig,

I have tried all versions too.  3.0.1 that I have on my laptop, gives me a bus fault.  2.8.1 is installed, the server works, -qt seems ok -- it just does not hear anything.  There must be a Linux guru that can figure out how the card gets recognized.

Good Luck

I\'m buying for the first one to figure out how to make Kismet play.  Everything installs OK and seems to be in the right place, but no receive.  I wonder how far off OZ is?
