6000 - Tosa / mounting the SL-6000

« on: November 26, 2004, 06:20:56 pm »

Concerning establishing the connection with dhcpcd (standard in Suse): Arcmeanvil, thanks, the script you submitted works great.

Concerning the alternative client dhclient (used by other distributions): MeaninglessNick, if I comment out the line in dhclient.conf, it also works. Thanks you especially for your patience!

I can now use the network to transfer files with samba or connect with ssh.

Arcmeanvil, thanks for the suggestion, I'll try it out as soon as I get back to my pc.

MeaninglessNick, you mentioned that the package length is not a problem, but seem to think I could establish a connection. How can I use it though? I tried to use samba or ping or ssh to 192.168.129.201, but without success.

Thanks

Suse 9.1 has a different dhcp client running, called dhcpcd. In my configuration eth0 is configured with that. I can't find out how to add usb0.

So I took the other route and killed dhcpcd. Then I used dhclient. The result is this:

Netstat gives the following

# netstat -l | grep bootp
udp        0      0 *:bootpc                *:*

so should calling

smb://192.168.129.201/home/

work?

I put the Zaurus again in the cradle and executed

# modprobe usbnet
# ifconfig usb0 up

After that the last lines of the kernel log look like this:

---
usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using address 5
usb 1-2: Product: SL-6000
usb 1-2: Manufacturer: Sharp
usb0: register usbnet at usb-0000:00:1d.0-2, Sharp Zaurus, PXA-2xx based
---

But then dhclient usb0 leads to:

---
sit0: unknown hardware address type 776
sit0: unknown hardware address type 776
Listening on LPF/usb0/16:fe:56:f8:67:64
Sending on   LPF/usb0/16:fe:56:f8:67:64
Can't bind to dhcp address: Address already in use
Please make sure there is no other dhcp server
running and that there's no entry for dhcp or
bootp in /etc/inetd.conf.   Also make sure you
are not running HP JetAdmin software, which
includes a bootp server.
---

and I can not establish a connection with samba.
I don't understand the hints given by the dhclient. What could be meant by "Address already in use"?

The outputs of modprobe, ifconfig, and dhclient are

---
# modprobe usbnet
# ifconfig usb0 up
usb0: unknown interface: No such device
# dhclient usb0

How do I have do this?

Thanks in advance.

I installed Suse 9.1, in the hope that would work better. I'm still not successful establishing a Samba network. PC Link at the Zaurus is at TCP/IP, and when I dial
smb://192.168.129.201/home/
in Konqueror
the wheel keeps turning for 10 minutes before the browser gives an error message "Network is unreachable".

I'm not sure whether the samba network is automatically established.

Hello Nick,

thanks for pointing this out. Unfortunately in this case I'm support.using Suse 8.0.
modprobe usbnet gave no result. I don't know how I can rebuilt my kernel to include usbnet support.

Can you imagine alternatives to using Debian?

This is a follow-up to an earlier post I made, titled "mounting the SL-6000".

I'm interested in communicating between my laptop and the Zaurus via USB. The former is running Suse Linux 8.0.  I understand now (thanks to lumi) that the Zaurus is not treated as USB storage, so I can not simply mount it.

Following the advice I tried to establish a network with Samba. When I calll smb://192.168.129.201/home/ from Konqueror, it gives me the message "Protocol not supported".

How can I transfer files between the Zaurus and other Linux computers, maybe without using Samba?

Thanks for any experience sharing

Hello Dave,

I don't seem to be successful in setting up a network.
I set the connection type to "USB - TCP/IP (advanced)", then I launched "Sync
Start", but am not able to communicate (ping, ssh) to 192.168.129.201.
Later the Zaurus gives me the error message "Communication was aborted".

I tried to do it with konqueror, as you recommended, calling
smb://192.168.129.201/home/
Konqueror gives me the message "Protocol not supported".

Also I didn't find information addressing my problem on the Linux section of
this portal. Do you remember where exactly you saw this?

Guylhem, yes, I'd be still interested. Is it a problem if the graphical interface restarts?

Lumi, I'm using Suse Linux 8.1. Do you think there's a way to mount the device? I took for granted that new usb devices are detected if they are attached.

Thanks for replying you both,

Oliver

6000 - Tosa / mounting the SL-6000

« on: November 19, 2004, 05:28:48 pm »

Instead of synchronizing and copying new files to my Zaurus from the Windows part of my laptop, I've been trying to mount the SL-6000 from my Linux partition. Different from other usb devices I can  mount (digital camera, storage), the pc doesn't seem to recognize the connected Zaurus. There appears no new entry in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab.

Help from somebody who has suceeded mounting the Zaurus on Linux would be greatly appreciated!
