6000 - Tosa / VoIP On the 6000

« on: June 03, 2004, 02:03:54 pm »

I\'ve also been trying to get this working with no luck. I\'m able to get the sip call set up and according to the ethereal traces the sip phone at the other end is sending RTP packets, so I think that the inbound direction is working. But nothing is ever sent from the zaurus side. I also get the following error messages when run at the shell prompt. i\'m not sure how to interpret them though. Does anyone have any idea about this? Terry.

6000 - Tosa / Cisco vpn client for SL-6000?

« on: June 01, 2004, 09:53:23 pm »

I have the vpnc Cisco vpn client running fine on the SL-6000.  For
anyone interested here is what I did.

1. Found the embedix kernel source that matches the SL-6000:

linux-sl6000-20040311-rom1_11.tar.bz2

(http://developer.ezaurus.com/sl_j/source/6000/build_kernel_111J_6000.htm)

2. After getting gcc 2.95 built and set up for cross compiling I
compiled the tun.o module and put it on the zaurus. Had to make the
device file with:

mkdir /dev/net
mknod /dev/net/tun c 10 200

3. Put on iproute using iproute_2.2.4-now-ss991023-1_arm.ipk.  I had
to extract the executable and put it on the z manually. I think there
is a directory mismatch and ipk croaks trying to install it on the
SL-6000.

4. Got vpnc-0.2-rm+zomb.1.tar.gz from:

http://www.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/~massar/vpnc/

(I found and tried an earlier pre-built version (0.2-rm+zomb-pre7) but
it would not talk properly with the Cisco 3030 vpn gateway that we
have at work. Thanks to Maurice Massar for replying to my email on
this.)

You also need libgcrypt and libgpg-error. I used
libgcrypt-1.2.0.tar.gz and libgpg-error_0.7.orig.tar.gz, which I found
out there somewhere.

Once these three packages were built I manually moved the libgcrypt
and libgpg-error libs over to the zaurus (/usr/lib). Then copied vpnc,
vpnc-connect and vpnc-disconnect to /usr/local/bin, and copied
vpnc.conf to /etc. Then you have to set up /etc/vpnc.conf using
instructions from the package.

When invoking it I use:

vpnc-connect --application-version \"Cisco Systems VPN Client 3.7.3 (A):Linux\" --enable-1des

(which I learned from Maurice\'s site.)

Linux Applications / Problem getting tun.o (for vpn) to work on SL-6000

« on: May 31, 2004, 11:06:25 am »

I have been working towards getting vpnc runing on my SL-6000, and
I\'ve run into a show-stopper. I\'m looking for advice.  The problem
I\'m having is in getting the tun.o module working.

First I set up a gcc 2.95 cross compiler that seems to work fine. I\'ve
been able to compile some simple arm apps no problem.

Then I found the embedix kernel source that matches the SL-6000 version:

linux-2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix-sl6000-20040311-rom1_11.bz2

(The only difference is that I see that my z has ROM 1.12 rather than
1.11.)

Using the kernel source I compiled the tun.o module and put it on the
zaurus. I have no problem modprobing it ... everything seems to go
fine. To generate the device files I do:

mkdir /dev/net
mknod /dev/net/tun c 10 200

After all this, when vpnc tries to read the device I get:

vpnc: reading `/dev/net/tun\': File descriptor in bad state
(Same problem if I just do a \"cat /dev/net/tun\")

This is the same problem I had when trying to use other tun.o modules
that did not exactly match the kernel I am running.

Does anyone have any advice for how I go about solving this? Would it have anything to do with getting the kernel configuration right?

Thanks,
Terry

6000 - Tosa / Looking for tun.o built for SL-6000

« on: May 29, 2004, 09:35:42 am »

Does anyone know where I can get pre-built kernel module tun.o (2.4.18 kernel)? I\'d like to get vpnc working and this would save me a lot of work.

6000 - Tosa / Cisco vpn client for SL-6000?

« on: May 25, 2004, 05:56:37 am »

I see that there is an opensource zaurus client for Cisco vpn, i.e., vpnc. Has anyone been able to run this or port it to the 6000?

Thanks,
Terry

Toronto / Buying an SL-6000 in Canada?

« on: May 11, 2004, 10:58:05 am »

Hi,

Does anyone know if there is a way of buying an SL-6000 here in Canada? Or if there is someone in the US that would mail order it? It doesn\'t seem that Amazon will ship it to Canada.

Thanks,
Terry
