6000 - Tosa / any new roms

« on: June 09, 2004, 02:37:31 am »

This is not a new ROM, but the same one that has always been issued since the 6000 started shipping

No, I received mine with v1.07 ROM, so I am happy

6000 - Tosa / NAND backup

« on: June 07, 2004, 09:32:55 pm »

I have a nand backup of an original japanese SL6000L (ROM v1.07), if someone is interested. Filesize is 66M, and it works fine, I have already used it to restore another SL6000L.

Yes, it works ! thank you very much !!
So, to transform the zaurus to a basic router box. follow these instructions :
* reactivate cards with cardctl (cardctl status to get info about your cards)
* configure them (ifconfig)
* and activate routing :
echo 1 ] /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

That\'s all !

I created a NAND backup file for SL6000L (japanese), if someone is interested mail me (kuntz<at>sfc.wide.ad.jp). Size is 66 MB, it is a backup from an original japanese SL6000L. I used it to restore my another SL6000L, it works fine !

I have a second SL6000L, I\'ll use it to create a NAND file, but does someone has a tutorial to create such a file ?

Hello,

I have a *little* problem with ny zaurus SL6000... I flashed it with SHARP zImage and initrd (created from sources), and now during the boot I have the following message :
INIT: Id \"ln\" respawning too fast; disabled for 5 minutes

I have seen on the forum that some people already had this problem. But I didn\'t manage to solve it... does it come from a corrupted zImage/initrd file ? Where can I find an zImage/initrd file that works ? (only the sources are available on sharp website)... Is a NAND restore the only solution ? BTW does someone has a NAND file for SL6000 ?

Thank you very much,

Security and Networking / Several network devices at the same time

Hello,

I would like to use my sl6000 as a router, but I didn\'t find a way to have 2 network devices at the same time. The network configuration software sux and for example I need to switch off the wireless lan to switch on my ethernet CF card...
I didn\'t manage to activate both interfaces with the command line, because once the cf ethernet card is plugged into the Z, the system switch it off and I didn\'t find a way to reactivate it...
Does someone has an idea ?

Thank you

Security and Networking / Ad-hoc mode on SL6000

« on: June 02, 2004, 11:35:20 pm »

Okay I tried an OpenZaurus ROM with SL5600 ROM but all I get is a command line and no way to launch OPIE (/etc/init.d/opie start doesn\'t work).
The kernel source tree from SHARP is v1.07, whereas Craig\'s one is v1.12, maybe that\'s why I don\'t have ad-hoc mode (even if I uncheck \"non-Spec ESS-ID\" option). So I go on my investigations... I\'ll try to find ROM v1.12 on SHARP website.
By the way did someone managed to have more than 1 network interfaces working at the same time ? I can\'t with SHARP ROM (v1.07), I have to switch off wireless lan if I want to use my ethernet CF card for example... this really sux !

Security and Networking / Ad-hoc mode on SL6000

« on: June 01, 2004, 11:16:23 pm »

I don\'t have this ad-hoc option ! I use SHARP kernel source tree for SL6000, and I don\'t have this option. I cannot neither select ad-hoc mode (it doesn\'t appear in the list) nor change the channel (the option is not here anymore, whereas it was on both my C760 and C860)...

Security and Networking / Ad-hoc mode on SL6000

« on: June 01, 2004, 09:27:11 pm »

Why did sharp guys removed this functionnality from the SL6000 ROM ?!??

Hmm... I can\'t say anything politically correct here
You can try building a tosa-kernel with OpenEmbedded, we enable and patch the wireless extensions up to V15 there.

Ok I would like to try this, but I didn\'t find neither the kernel source tree nor the root fs, but only binaries... am I wrong ?

Security and Networking / Ad-hoc mode on SL6000

« on: June 01, 2004, 06:52:37 am »

Hello,

With my zaurus C860 and C760 I was able to use ad-hoc mode with my wireless card, using the network configuration software. But with the SL6000, I cannot chose Ad-hoc mode, the only option is \"infrastructure\"... is there a way to use ad-hoc mode on SL6000 ? Why did sharp guys removed this functionnality from the SL6000 ROM ?!??
I cannot use iwconfig \"mode\" option, so I patched SHARP kernel source tree with wireless extension 13 patch, but it doesn\'t work...
Maybe someone has a clue ?

Thank you,
