6000 - Tosa / Ac Without Battery

« on: September 29, 2005, 10:50:24 pm »

My SL--6000L wouldn't turn on today, only to look at the back and see the battery had blown up (literally)!

I plugged it into AC without the battery and it just blinks the battery light.

Anyone know if there's a way to hack/mod it to boot on AC power without a battery?

The batteries are expensive.

Software / Need Vorbis-plugin, Site Down

Can someone post a link to a place where I can get the vorbis-plugin?   The site where it is hosted is down and has been for a few months:

http://moria.ionkov.net/zaurus/vorbis-plugin/

Sadly it seems pretty much everyone links to it there rather than hosting it.  If I can get my hands on a copy I'll host a copy of it as well.

Thanks much!

Well, shoot.

Don't know what changed, but I copied your config verbatim and it works for me now.  Not sure what I was doing different.  Now if I can just get the routing for vpnc setup right again I'll be back in business.

Thanks!

What the heck!?

I must be out of my mind then.

If it's not too much trouble please list the output of your /etc/network/interfaces and iwconfig wlan0 with any important stuff (keys) blanked out.

I wonder if I touched something I didn't realize.

I have a SL-6000; nothing remarkable about it.  I did the whole, enable wlan0 on boot and restart thing and I can find WAPs.  I've tried everything with several WAPs both with and without WEP and can get nothing to work.

Here's the lowdown.  As I said I can scan for APs and select one, all the while the wifi LED blinks.  Watching the ESSID in OPIE every few seconds it changes to a scrambled value for a split second and back to the correct value again.  Looking at wlan0 with iwconfig I'm seeing negative values for Tx Pow, Signal Strn and Qual, no ESSID is listed.  I can staticly assign an IP, but of course, it does nothing.

I'm totally confused as to what to try next.  I've tweaked the /etc/network/interfaces file to every permutation I can think of both with and without OPIE to no avail.

I'm assuming OZ worked with the SL-6000 Wifi for someone or it would've been noted in the release notes, no?

So, anyone with a SL-6000 and working Wifi, please take a few minutes to _clearly_ document the steps to getting this working from a clean OZ 3.5.2 OPIE (or even GPE) install.  I, and I'm sure other SL-6000 owners, would appreciate it much especially since 99% of OZ reference seems to be totally offline at the moment.

I have several other small issues I'm sure I can work out but this is the only showstopper for me at the moment.

Thanks a ton,
