Thought it was about time I gave something back to the community and it seems like everyone would benfit if you had a bit more kit to test on so I have decided to donate my 760 along with a 256 sd card and a D-Link DCF-660W wireless card plus a bluetooth USB dongle.
email the address to send to at Richard at Swanbourne + com
Please put them to good use.
If I get more than one email reply to this all bets are off

Linux Issues / Gentoo connection with kernel 2.6
« on: May 11, 2004, 06:56:16 am »
usagi
I don\'t use qtopia desktop so can\'t help there I\'m afraid.
Its just a guess but are you pinging 192.168.129.1 ? (this will respond)
If you want to connect via ssh type in ssh root@192.168.129.201 (note the end is 201)

Linux Issues / Gentoo connection with kernel 2.6
« on: May 11, 2004, 05:36:37 am »
You need to enable the following as iether a module or built in (tick as aposed to a dot)
USB support ] Multi-purpose USB Network Framework. This will give you USBNET
I have gentoo with 2.6.6 and it works fine. There was a problem between kernels 2.6.5 and 2.6.6-rc2 but these are now sorted.

O.k
I\'ve had a chance to look now and Busybox only requires vitrual/libc so should have built o.k.
Mickeyl\'s .bashrc solution is much neater than using a shell script and ensures that your PATH contains everything needed. Just copy his text and replace your own directoiry paths where needed. To run just type oe (sorry obvious but just in case )
I\'ve been using oebuild as oemake would screw up for me (Might have been me not the script) but maybe the script has been modified to clean things up, I haven\'t tried it for a while. (Guess I will now)

A couple of people have posted that the build system instructions don\'t work for them. I suspect that the main reason for this is missing libaries or whole modules being missing in there build enviroment. In my case I failed first time round on a libary but the output errors described in the log files only described a generic error rather than the specific libary missing so it took a bit of hunting around (trying to build packages out of order) before I got the specific error that led me to the answer. Perhaps the first job should be to describe the full list of \"tools\" required before the build system will work. Trouble is, development wise, I have just about everything installed so this may be a bit of a task and also picking the packages from differing unix distributions that contain these liabaries may be trying.
I can do Redhat-8/9/Fedora and Mandrake 9/10 any offers for the others ?
Simon
As we both have working OE build enviroments perhaps it would be best if we compare notes first.

O.K
I will join with larman and add my bits of knowledge as I fumble my way through the learning curve. I have held back from posting stuff (other than a small version change) as I didn\'t feel comfortable posting info that may be wrong / mislead others but overall I think its worth the risk to try and give this great project a helping hand and give others a well earned rest. Maybe Mickey and Kergoth can remove the worst of the incorrect stuff. (mine probably)

Sharp ROMs / New kernel for Orinico/Symbol/Socket users
« on: March 02, 2004, 04:04:42 am »
jayaboys kernel should work fine with your symbol based card. Make sure you are connected to your AP before running iwconfig.
The hostap drivers are an alternative to the symbol drivers and work for some cards. If your symbol card is a bit of an odd one you may want to try these.
Can\'t remeber where I got them from but itry a search. Failing that PM me your email and I will send them to you.

Sharp ROMs / sl5600 kernel configuration and source

Assuming you meant dmesg, here are the relevant parts:
Yep typing faster than my brain (not that fast at all)
Confused why you get the message about version conflicts from previous post but as I posted earlier you don\'t have a kernel with wireless exstensions enabled. Try the last one posted by tumnus and let us know.

w4lna:
You said you had orinoco .12 not .13 ?
Are you sure you have the stock kernel (check under sysinfo)
Also run df after a reboot and see what message you get about wireless exstensions (you may well get two entrys so check entire text)

Zaurus - pdaXrom / latest X11/pdaX ROM!?!?
« on: March 01, 2004, 07:41:45 pm »
The fix didn\'t include the socket card (I unpacked it to check) It has got the buffalow card added. I added the Socket card manualy but it still comes up as unrecognised. after reboot.
