Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Bridge Usb0 And Wlan0
« on: July 11, 2007, 05:22:08 pm »
Thanks for the help guys.

I hunted around a bit more. It turns out that ndiswrapper does not support PROMISC, which is required for bridging. I have to use ndiswrapper, as the broadcom support is not quite there yet for bcm43xx.

I will use masquerading for now until the bcm43xx has better support for poor signal strength.

Cheers,

Colin

Hi,

Thanks for your help guys.

Samac, this is the way I did it in the past. Only, I forgot how to put the gateway on the zaurus. I had put the router address in and I should have put the PC address. This is why I started looking around and saw the bridging solution that seemed simple. Now I have the gateway entry correct in the Zaurus, I can ping router to Zaurus and Zaurus to router. The problem is I can not ping past the router or get web access to the router maintinace page. This, I think, is a router issue.

speculatrix, I have tried the masquerading/natting, but I am missing something from my PC kernal as iptables is complaining that somethng is missing. I started to try to use natting when I read that wlan hardware could not spoof and so bridging would not work.

 Anyway you have both helped move me on a bit so thanks. I wil try not using the masquerading for the moment. Masquerading will be my next step if I get stuck. At least I have managed to find why the iptables was hidden when I was configuring the kernal. I needed the x_tables first.

Cheers,

Colin

Hi,

I am sure the answer is in the forum somewhere, but I can not find it and I am stuck.

I have C1000 and have installed 3.5.4.1. I am trying to connect to the internet via my laptop using a bridge on the laptop between usb0 and wlan0. The wlan0 connects to my ADSL router.

I think I have followed the procedures on the OZ web site and in the pinned connection topic in this forum.

I have got it to the stage where the C1000 talks to the laptop and the laptop will talk to the world, but the bridge does not seem to forward between usb0 and wlan0 (no ping from the C1000 to anything other than the laptop.)

I am now stuck. The laptop is running slackware, and I will try on the slackware forum if that is the right place to ask.

Hope someone can help.

I have appended the output of some commands below.

Cheers,

Colin

So here what is set up laptop

OpenZaurus/Opie/Qtopia / Using Bitbake Gives: Note: Exceptions.syntaxerror:
« on: April 13, 2006, 05:45:23 pm »
Hi,

OK reply to myself. Looks like it was one or more of
   mismatching bitbake to org.openembedded.xxx
   an error in my local.conf, (BBFILES with double quotes ")
   copying the hole of the conf directory from the org.openembedded.xxx directory and not just the conf/local.conf

Any way started from scratch and it all worked this time.

Cheers,

Colin

OpenZaurus/Opie/Qtopia / Using Bitbake Gives: Note: Exceptions.syntaxerror:
« on: April 12, 2006, 04:07:52 pm »
Hi,

I am trying to set up bitbake to do some oz developement. I think I have followed the instructions on the OpenEmbedded "Getting Started" Wiki. When I try "bitbake nano" all I get is lots of complaints about:

quote
NOTE: exceptions.SyntaxError:EOL while scanning single-quoted string (line 1) while evaluating:
unquote

(there is more of the output at the end of the post if it helps.)

I have tried org.openembedded.dev and org.openembedded.oz354fam083.
I have tried bitbake  -rHead, -r394 and the bitbake tarball at  ewi546.ewi.utwente.nl. Using earlier versins of bitbake just gives me complaints about sanity.conf file.

I have hunted around and seen others struggle with this, not found a solution that works. Any help appreciated.

Cheers,

Colin

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / collie and kernel from 3.5.3 upgrades
« on: July 06, 2005, 09:19:53 am »
Hi,

I have a 5500 that is not working with the new kernel.

I did a compare between the working and not working kernels. I did an lsmod after booting using calender-C to get me through the new kernel boot. What I found was that there was no usbcore, net_fd and sa1100_bi, also  ipv6 and ipsec show up as initialising on the new kernel. As the working kernel show net_fd and sa1100_bi as using usbdcore I assume that the loading of usbdcore is a candidate for the problems we are seeing. I am guessing that the boot hang after 2 lines is because of the inability to load usbcore or the calender-C is preventing the usbcore module load.

Does this get us any further?

I also did a compare of dmesg outputs, but the amount of information means the stuff from the start of the boot on the new kernel is missing. The dmesg buffer gets filled with a load of exception/crash information. Is there a way to extend the dmesg buffer?

Cheers,

Colin

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Battery Issues On Sl5500
« on: June 13, 2005, 08:19:48 am »
There is a fixed rechargable NiCd battery inside the Z. If the NiCd gets flattened it will be charged from the Li removable battery and flatten the Li one.  Maybe this is your problem. The manual says to leave the Z on charge for 24hours when first used, this is to ensure the internal NiCd is charged.

Just an idea.

Cheers,

Colin
