Security and Networking / New Bluetooth Drivers

« on: September 08, 2005, 09:51:34 am »

OK, I got to jump in here with a request for assistance.
My setup is a uk 5500 with Sharp 3.10 Rom, Bluemonkey CF card, Siemens s65 phone, UK O2 mobile account.

I followed the BlueZ howto at the top of this thread a while back and got a fair amount of success. I managed to pair up the Z & phone and allocate /dev/rfcomm0 to the pairing on the serial port channel of the s65. I created an IR dialup via the network wizard, then went into the equivalent script under /etc/ppp/peers and added in the /dev/rfcomm0 line at the top, set the phone MAC address in /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf
I don't think I ever managed to get the network connection going, though the devices did pair. (Annoyingly the phone and WinXP on my work laptop function without incident.)

I had to do a Z restart a while ago & since then, everything seems to have gone horribly wrong :-/ I'm pretty sure I kicked off the bluetooth with a manual restart.
When the phone BT is enabled & nearby, I get the pairing icon for a moment then it drops,. I run the network connection and it sits in 'modem initializing'.
Even though the phone is discoverable, I do an "sdptool browse" after sudo'ing to root, all I get is

Code: [Select]

Inquiring...
Inquiring failedSo why does that happen?
Do the symptoms I've described point to something obvious?

I think the rest of my woes are with getting a connection script sorted for GPRS to O2 using the s65, but let's not go there for now! I've not managed via IR yet.

Security and Networking / Help Requested Installing Wifi Utilities On 5500

« on: September 08, 2005, 09:18:53 am »

Hi all. I just got a socket CF wireless LAN card for my 5500 that has the Sharp ROM version 3.10.  I have tried to install a sniffer program like Kismet or Wellenreiter but both attempts have failed.

Does anyone have any suggestions about a program that is powerful yet simple to install ?
I am a relative newbie and need clear step-by-step instructions.

The program would have to work with Socket card and the Sharp rom.

Thanks very much.  Long live the Zaurus !

Could you be more specific about why they failed to install? Have you managed to connect to a known wireless point ok via the wireless network wizard? I seem to recall Kismet needs the sudo package installed first.

Half the reason for replying is that I have a similar lack of success on the wifi front.
I'm using a sharp 3.10 ROM, Pretec WiFi card & kismet.
Ignoring kismet for a moment, I can't even get my Z to connect to my home wifi network (belkin f5d7632uk4 with security disabled). I just get "Initializing" shown in the network panel.

I had better luck on my old ROM - certainly Kismet operated ok. I think I had to manually add the pretec card listing into a file somewhere, though I can't recall the details. Also, this time around I followed the howto about installing kistmet on the SD card, but now I run up the Kismet UI I just get "error connecting to server".
