Even better yet, leave a text file on his desktop going \"Reasons You Should Secure Your Network.txt\"

Security and Networking / WARNING! Don\'t buy SD Audio Players!!

\"Hacking their way around the encryption\" means extracting both the keys and the algorithm from the DRM code.  Yes, you\'re right: no matter if they close source it or open source it, people will eventually get at it.  But if you don\'t even know what algorithm is being used, you\'ve just made it that much harder for people to circumvent.

Take a look at WMA: it uses ECC, DES, RC4, SHA-1, etc etc.  It\'s not just the keys.  It\'s what they\'re used for.

I have yet to see anything on Linux that supports DRM.  In order to support DRM, you need to sign a pricy license agreement/NDA of some sort, which isn\'t all that great for Linux programmers.  DRM code is always closed source; if the DRM code was open, then people could easily hack their way around the encryption, and it\'d be useless.  That\'s also why SD cards are a closed format and there are no open source drivers supporting it (that I know of).

I read... somewhere.. on these forums a method on getting wellenreiter to work, and they used a series of command lines much like yours, cmisip.  Except it went like this:

cardctl scheme CardResume
cardctl scheme qpewlan0 &
cardctl reset
wellenreiter

Try issuing the reset after?  I don\'t really know what it does though

Sharp ROMs / Ambicom 1100C-CF and Cacko rom v1.21b

Well, the same thing happened to me using autodetect, but I got it working after specifying essid, network type (infrastructure), and wep in the Network interface ont he cacko rom.

I installed the hostap_cs drivers and somehow completely hosed my system, so on the next reflash I just used the hermes one.  Apart from that, I can\'t help you...  good luck!

I warbussed on the way home from work in Taipei, and picked up 146 access points using Wellenreiter.  Afterwards, you can save the session info and the logs.  The logs don\'t show anything about which ones are WEP encrypted though, which irked me.  But you can read it off of the session info.

Have you tried setting it manually using iwconfig?  Like:

iwconfig eth0 mode Managed essid MyWifiAP

Only had mine for a week so far.  The hinge is about a centimeter in diameter, and very sturdy and stable.  I don\'t see it dying off any time soon.  First to go, though, is going to be the usb rubber bung on the left side.

Hong Kong / Newby with very basic questions about C860

er, haha.. >_< my mistake.

ipkg remove error

Sorry, I always type in uninstall for some reason, and it always gives me that error.
To be sure, you should log in as root first.  You can do that by typing in \'su\' on the command line.  Then the $ prompt should change to a # prompt, and you\'re good to go.

I have yet to successfully auto-connect to anything with my c700 running the Cacko rom.  Instead, I dictate manually the gateway, IP, essid, and name server in the configuration.  I\'m not sure what success other people have had though.

Linux Issues / Connection with USB and desktop kernel 2.6

« on: June 06, 2004, 09:11:52 pm »

I never got the usb connection to allow me to connect to the internet via any other IP address other than 192.168.129.201.  Is it working for you?

You may also want to look into installing a program called hotplug.  All I need to do is plug in the Zaurus to my Linux box and run

ifconfig usb0 192.168.129.1

on the Linux box to get the connection made.

Try openssh from the zug feed:

http://www.zaurususergroup.com/feed/

The ROM I\'m using has ssh in it already... I think this should work, though.  It\'ll give you SSH and SFTP (secure ftp, won\'t work with your ftp client, but much much safer)

If it doesn\'t, try running

/etc/rc.d/init.d/ssh start

or rebooting

Sharp ROMs / Getting Wellenreiter Working with New Cacko ROM

« on: June 06, 2004, 08:11:57 am »

In the secondary menu (that thing you get when you press and hold on the icon), I set Wellenreiter to use root privileges when running.  However, when I run it, I still get the \"You have started Wellenreiter II as non-root\" message.  What is limited functionality, anyhow?
