Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Socket Wifi Card (new Version)

« on: October 23, 2005, 11:00:15 am »

install "prism3-support" package and retry
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=100352\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

No luck.
Log messages after inserting the card:

By the way, it seems that the chipset is Hermes II.

Finally, this is the Socket's answer to my question about supporting linux:
"you are correct we do not support Linux, our previous card was working with Linux because there was a third party developer who made it work.
Best regards,"

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Socket Wifi Card (new Version)

« on: October 21, 2005, 08:33:20 am »

Socket identifies this card simply as CF Wireless LAN Card "new version", and, according to its web site, only the "previous version" (sic) is supported.
I posted a question to the technical support team in order to confirm this, but It hasn't been yet answered. I'll let you know the answer as soon as I receive it.

I did some basic tests manually loading the orinoco and hostap modules without success. I'm sorry but I'll not be able to do more extensive tests, since I have a time limit to return this item to the shop.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Socket Wifi Card (new Version)

« on: October 19, 2005, 07:00:18 am »

I bought a Socket WiFi card cause I've read good reviews about it.
Unfortunately, it wasn't recognized by my Zaurus (3.2.3 with orinoco modules installed). It seems that it's a new model of the card, and that model it's not supported by the Orinoco modules.
Is there a chance that it will be supported anytime soon or should I return this item?

Thanks in advance.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Does The New Collie Kernel Work For You?

« on: July 07, 2005, 04:18:06 am »

After reading about the problems arised with the new collie kernel 2.4.18-r21 and default GPE/Opie Images, I was curious about how many people got this working.
Maybe the poll results can help people to decide whether or not upgrade.
I'll start the poll with a big NO :-)

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / collie and kernel from 3.5.3 upgrades

« on: July 06, 2005, 12:19:49 pm »

I too have a similar problem, on the same hardware.
I've a SL-5500. I've followed the standard flashing procedure
who had always worked fine.
I've tried with zImage-collie-64-0-r21.bin (renamed zImage of course)
and opie-image-collie-20050407173817.rootfs.jffs2 (renamed initrd.bin).
The flashing go smoothly, but on startup the Z freezes on "configure update-modules".
Twice the flashing for twice the same result.

- SL-5500
- 256MB kingston CF

- new collie kernel 64-0

And the same problem...
I have repeated twice the flashing procedure and the Z freezes on  "configure update-modules".

Flashing works fine with the previous 3.5.3 rom.

Please, fix this problem...

I've got the same.

Quizá sea un poco tarde para responder, pero acabo de encontrar este hilo...
(igual ya has saltado sin red   )

Para la 5500 hay dos maneras de instalar la ROM, con los archivos que se incluyen con cualquiera de las Roms (OZ, Cacko, Hybrid, tkc) o con el método del Ospack de Sharp.
Éste último es el que puedes usar para recuperar la Z si algo falla en el flash.
He probado unas cuantas (todas) Roms con la 5500 y no he tenido demasiados problemas, lo cual no quiere decir que vaya a pasar nunca nada, claro...  
El primer Flash es el que más duele  al corazón, pero los siguientes vienen rodados.

El Ospack más reciente lo puedes descargar aquí

Hola JoP,
como ya intuías, finalmente salté sin red :-)
De todas formas, es muy interesante conocer esto y seguramente ayudará a muchos a dar el salto.

Un saludo.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Permanent Routing Table

« on: May 28, 2005, 10:44:59 am »

Just in case anyone is interested.
The configuration file /etc/network/interfaces seems to be the right place to make routing table permanent.
The relevant lines in my configuration file look like this:

Code: [Select]

iface usbd0 inet static
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        address 192.168.129.201

up route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.129.1 dev usbd0
up route add default gw 192.168.129.1
down route del -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.129.1 dev usbd0
down route del default

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Permanent Routing Table

« on: May 26, 2005, 06:54:32 am »

It can automatically detect which networks I have and configure the gateways I want to use??? Wow! Definitively OpenZaurus is ahead of its time..
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=81392\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Yep, that's exactly how it works for me....since I'm using DHCP at home.

Anyways, if you would have spent some time actually looking for an answer to your problem (multiple networks w/ multiple configurations), you'd soon have found out
that the setup is trivial and switching between configurations a breeze.

This is a common problem for notebook users and has been solved a long time ago.
And there's extensive documentation available from google.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=81450\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

In fact, this setup is working perfectly on my network since day one. I've just asked for the best way to make the routing tables permanent in OZ.
I described my network topology just to make clear that dhcp solutions are not applicable.
Probably, the best solution is what Koen pointed out: look at the Debian way to do this.

Isn't this part of what the dhcp server does?

I certainly have my gateway and routing table setup for me automatically when I connect to my wifi network at uni.

I'm not using DHCP.

I have two subnetworks, and the devices in these subnetworks have fixed IPs.

I'd think like on real Linux box.

Every distro has its own method to do this. Of course, you can write an ad-hoc script to make the table permanent, but I'm interested in an "official" way to do it in OpenZaurus.

Never needed that though so I can't comment on this one. However, I'm curious why you would need that at all. The routing schould be automatically configured when you insert a WLAN card or plug the Z into the craddle.

This sounds a bit like an interesting topic, but I don't understand anything. Could you please post in English? Am I right that you speak about the technical details of a NAND backup? I'd be interested, too!

greg2 is right here... if you have questions about the technical details of a NAND backup, then ask the question yourself in a different forum yourself.

Hi Daniel.

Rather than speaking about technical details of a NAND backup, I was asking for help since I was unable to perform this kind of backup.
Probably this is not what you were interested in. If I'm wrong, please let me know and I'll open a topic on an international forum.

Regards.

Bienvenido al club 

Bienhallados :-)

El NAND backup hace una copia de la ROM en una tarjeta de memoria. Como dices, solo es necesario si quieres volver a la versión nativa de fabrica. No es necesario hacerlo antes para instalar otra ROM. Si en algun momento te arrepientes, siempre puedes instalar una versión actualizada de la ROM de Sharp.

Si pruebas OpenZaurus te aseguro que no volveras a la ROM de Sharp. OpenZaurus, en sus 2 entornos, es un proyecto muy activo (la ROM de Sharp solo se ha actualizado una vez). Tienes un monton de programas y puedes ejecutar programas diseñados para la ROM oficial de la Zaurus.

Si tienes dudas, pregunta todo lo que quieras
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=80358\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

El problema es que, en caso de tener que volver atrás, quisiera hacerlo a la ROM en castellano. Por alguna razón que sólo ellos sabrán, los señores de Paresa (empresa que da soporte a la Zaurus en España), creyéndose más especiales que la propia Sharp, han decidido no poner la ROM en castellano a disposición de los usuarios.

Y si bien estoy prácticamente seguro de que, una vez probada la OpenZaurus, no querré volver atrás, la informática te enseña a ser un poco paranoico, y no quisiera saltar sin red.

Por eso me gustaría que alguien pudiera darme alguna pista en este sentido. Algunas cosas que me podrían ayudar son:
-Si alguien supiera de algún problema conocido para hacer esta copia de seguridad de la ROM, que pudiera ser el que me afecta.
-Si alguien sabe de alguna otra forma segura de hacerse con una ROM en castellano
-Cualquier otra solución que os dicte vuestra imaginación...

Gracias.

Hola,

he comprado una 5500S y quisiera instalar una OpenZaurus, pero manteniendo la posibilidad de volver atrás a la ROM original.
La opción más segura que he encontrado por ahí es el "NAND backup". Pero por más que he seguido al pie de la letra todas las instrucciones que he encontrado por ahí, no hay manera de que salga el menú de mantenimiento en mi Zaurus.
¿Existe alguna alternativa segura a este tipo de backup? ¿Se puede volver a la versión original mediante otro tipo de backup?

Gracias.

Software / Ssh Public Key Authentication + User Root + 5500

« on: May 18, 2005, 05:17:03 am »

Hi all.

I have installed openssh on my 5500 and I'd like to access without password (i.e. using public key authentication) using the user root.
I added my desktop pc user's public keys to the authorized_keys file on my Z, but I'm always asked for a password when I try to log in.
However, I can log succesfully from Z in my desktop pc using public key authentication.
The sshd_config files in Desktop PC and Z are almost identical.
Does anyone succeeded in doing this?
Is this issue related to the non-standard root's home (/home/root) in the 5500 models?

Thanks in advance.
