Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Hetges 3.5.3 - Wierd Opie Dialog On First Boot

« on: November 15, 2005, 09:06:17 am »

Thanks so much.  That fixed it.  I didn't think to do that since I moved /root and it didn't prompt me to remove it.  Did I miss that somewhere in the instructions?

Thanks again

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Hetges 3.5.3 - Wierd Opie Dialog On First Boot

« on: November 15, 2005, 12:55:30 am »

I just installed the Hentges 3.5.3 ROM on my Collie.  I have a 1GB SD card.  The install seemed to go well until Opie started up.  There is a dialog on the screen that is bigger than the screen.  What I can see is

A new storage media detecte
SD Card
What should I do with it?
Which media files
Audio    Text
Image   Vide
All
Limit Search To

Add    Rem

I can't dismiss the dialog.  Audio is selected, if I hit space, it will unselect it. I seem to be able to move the selection sometimes.  When I tap anywhere, it just clicks.


Thanks in Advance!

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Do I Have To Format My Sd Card Ext2?

« on: October 25, 2005, 12:46:10 pm »

I installed 3.5.3 OZ/Opie on my 5500, and am pretty impressed with it.  I have a wireless card in my CF socket, and a 1GB card in SD.  I installed the 64-0 build.  When I try to install software to the card it gives me (sometimes/usually) an error about linking.

The next question is if I do, what are the reprocussions?  I won't be able to write to the SD card from a windows box, right?  Will I be able to from a linux/mac box?

Thanks for your help.

Security and Networking / Help! Wifi Not Working!

Disable WEP on your wifi router.
Enable SSID broadcast on your router.

Once you have the Z working with the unprotected router then start enabling the security stuff on the router.

This worked for me Zaurus SL5500 and Ambicon CF wifi.

Unfortunately, I tried both of those.  I found a link about adding a card to wlan-ng.conf file.  My card wasn't in there, so I added it.  It still didn't work.

I also found a link to how to make this card work under Windoze and it didn't work there either.  So that means either the card is busted, or the process to make it work under Windoze was not correct.  Either way, I'm losing patience with it.  I'm thinking about finding someone with a PocketPC and asking them to see if it works.  That would at least let me know if its bad.

Thanks

Security and Networking / Help! Wifi Not Working!

« on: January 19, 2005, 09:09:39 pm »

I bought a Zaurus 5500 on ebay.  It has the Sharp ROM 3.1 installed.  It came with a Netgear MA701 Wifi Card.  The guy says everything is in perfect working order, but I can't get the card to connect to my network.

Configurations I tried:
1. not specifying the SSID, with 40-bit WEP, DHCP and DNS discovery
2. specifying the SSID, with 40-bit WEP, DHCP and DNS discovery
3. not specifying the SSID, with 40-bit WEP, static address and specified DNS
4. specifying the SSID, with 40-bit WEP, static address and specified DNS
5. not specifying the SSID, no encryption, DHCP and DNS discovery
6. not specifying the SSID, no encryption, static address and specified DNS
7. specifying the SSID, no encryption, static address and specified DNS
8. installed Kismet according to http://www.timekiller.org/howtos/kismet-5600.html it didn't see any networks.

Under the "Current" tab in Networks it always says "Unable to Detect" in the access point.

Whenever I try to "connect" it says "No Detection detected.  Check your WEP Key settings and/or TCP settings."

What am I doing wrong?
Chris
Thanks!
