Zaurus - pdaXrom / Gpsdrive Cvs Package

« on: September 02, 2005, 03:39:01 pm »

I'm having problems installing the ipk file

I download the ipk file to /mnt/card then do:

root@collie:/mnt/card# ipkg -d ram install gpsdrive-cvs_20050330_armv5tel.ipk
Clearing state_want and state_flag for pkg=gpsdrive-cvs (arch_priority=0 flag=16 want=2)
Cannot find package gpsdrive-cvs.
Check the spelling or perhaps run 'ipkg update'
An error ocurred, return value: 4.

I'm running:
root@collie:/mnt/card# uname -a
Linux collie 2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix #1 Sun, 28 Nov 2004 17:16:24 +0100 armv4l unknown
root@collie:/mnt/card#

Any ideas?

Taken from IronGeek website:

If you get tired of seeing portmap error use the following command to get rif of portmap:

    ipkg remove portmap

**slapping my forehead**
Thanks
It usually goes better when I read instructions! ;-)

5x00 Hardware / Sd Card Fails On Insert

« on: July 20, 2005, 05:34:23 am »

One question I have:
Can you use the 1Gig card As-is formated vfat or do you have to reformat it ext2?

I'd rather keep it formated vfat if possible.

General Discussion / Weird Portmap Errors When I Install

« on: July 19, 2005, 06:01:55 pm »

Hi
I can install and link ipk's just fine under Openzaurus 3.2 with Opie
but I get weird portmap errors like this:
update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/portmap: file does not exist
postinst script returned status 1
ERROR: portmap.postinst returned 1
An error ocurred, return value: 4.


Anyone know what (if anything) I should do with this? I'm thinking ignore it....

5x00 Hardware / Sd Card Fails On Insert

« on: July 19, 2005, 04:40:31 pm »

Your post reminded me of something the salesman at the local Best Buys shop told me. He indicated that the maximum sd card pda's like the zaurus will take is 512megs. I was lusting after a 1 gig card myself...Can anyone substantiate this for us?

Software / Kismet + Openzaurus 3.5.2 Gui?

« on: July 18, 2005, 09:21:11 pm »

I'm looking for a gui for kismet and want to know if kismet-qt is just for Qtopia. Can it work under OpenZaurus 3.5.2? Know of another gui for OZ?

Software / Kismet Config Error

« on: July 17, 2005, 12:26:21 pm »

I take it you are using the Sharp ROM, which is also what I use. Now, what I did was to install kismet and the kismet GUI both from the Zaurus Software Index. In this setup, you select your card from a drop-down menu on the GUI. I had to try several different ones but eventually found one that worked. That "prism2_legacy" entry was written by the GUI on the configuration file, which I only looked at to answer conn-fused's question. I did not have to install any of the other things mentioned in your post.

When I launch the kismet gui, and tap the config tab at the top I get the error "Can't connect to Server" When I manually edit the kismet.conf file as above I can launch kismet.

Any ideas?

Software / Kismet Config Error

« on: July 17, 2005, 09:55:42 am »

Ok here is where I am
I checked the previous thread here:https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=11244

I installed libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2_2.95.4-15_arm.ipk with much gnashing of teeth and complaints from qtopia

I installed libncurses5_5.0-6.0potato1_arm.ipk with no problems

conn-fused suggested installing libpcap0_0.7.2-20031220_arm.ipk
I wasn't able to find that anywhere and I looked at Zaurus Index and a few other sites...if anyone can point me to where I can find this I'd appreciate it.

I changed the packet source line in kismet.conf to read:
source=wlanng_legacy,eth0,prism2
The source line that conn-fused used: source=prism2_legacy,eth0,prism2 Just didn't work for me, plus the prism2_legacy source wasn't mentioned in the official kismet docs as one of the legit ones. I messaged conn-fused for clarification.

When I launch kismet I get:
WARNING: prism2 eth0 unable to exit monitor mode automatically, YYou many need to manually restart the devicece and reconfigure it for normal operations. Kismet exiting.

Now the above kinda sorta sounds like I'm making progress....dosn't it?

Now I know the WCF11 card I'm using is a prism2 card.

Any help on where to get libpcap and get kismet working would be appreciated.

Again
I'm using qtopia, rom 2.38 latest version of kismet I found on the Zaurus Index site.

Software / Kismet Config Error

I think the linksys card has the same chip as the D-Link card and you should look at the followingthread.

Felipe
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=88583\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

I checked conn-fused post
"Then edit the configuration file:
vi /home/root/usr/local/etc/kismet.conf
source=prism2_legacy,eth0,prism2 (<-- Thanks for this jfv)
(While you're at it: configdir=/home/root/.kismet/)"

Now the problem is the capture source he used was prism2_legacy and this is not on the list of possible capture sources in the kismet docs.

[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=88581\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Software / Kismet Config Error

« on: July 16, 2005, 06:15:00 pm »

I have the following in kismet.conf
source=prism,eth0,Prism

when I launch kismet it complains that the source prism isn't right....
I'm using a Linksys WCF11 CF card. Wireless networking works fine btw when I connect to my linksys wap.

I checked here to determine the capture source:
http://www.kismetwireless.net/documentation.shtml

I added this to /etc/pcmcia/wlan-ng.conf file
card "Linksys WCD11 11Mps 802.11b WLAN Card"
manfid 0x0274 0x3301
bind "prism2_cs"

Now the closes capture sources from the above kismet doc were:
wlanng_legacy   Prism/2             Linux       wlan-ng 0.1.3 and earlier
                    http://www.linux-wlan.com/
                    Capture interface:  'wlanX'
                    Old wlan-ng drivers didn't support pcap capturing and
                     use a netlink socket to the kernel.  These are still in
                     use on some embedded systems (like the Zaurus).

    wlanng          Prism/2             Linux       wlan-ng 0.1.4 - 0.1.9
                    http://www.linux-wlan.com/
                    Capture interface:  'wlanX'  
                    Wlan-ng prism2 drivers prior to the AVS headers.

    wlanng_avs      Prism/2             Linux       wlan-ng 0.2.0+
                    http://www.linux-wlan.com/
                    Capture interface:  'wlanX'
                    Newer wlan-ng drivers support a new header type and
                     slightly different monitor commands to report wepped
                     packets.

Does anyone know which of the above three I should use with my card?

General Discussion / Add/remove Software Can't Find .ipk On Sd Card

« on: July 16, 2005, 12:56:25 pm »

You Guys rock! thanks for all of your help!
all is good now
Here's what I did:
I mounted the sd card with my mac
cd /Volumes/sdcard
then I used wget to pull down the package file to the sd card and clicked on the icon in the Documents tab. Installed without a hitch to the sd card!

Awesome.
Do you guys think I should upgrade the rom to v3? Is it worthwhile?

Can you see the file on the "Documents" tab? Which Zaurus and ROM do you have?

Felipe
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=88553\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Yes I do see it under the Documents tab.

General Discussion / Add/remove Software Can't Find .ipk On Sd Card

« on: July 16, 2005, 10:32:07 am »

Problem: I downloaded qpe-terminal_1.5.0-2_arm.ipk with my macos x 10.4.1 box. copied qpe-terminal_1.5.0-2_arm.ipk to SD card and Package installer can't see it on the SD card.

My gear:
SL-5500 (default qtopia linux)
SanDisk 512 meg SD card
SanDisk sd card reader

I don't have the cradle docking station yet. Hopefully its on the way to me.
The Zaurus recognizes the SD card because I can see the SD icon at bottom right of screen.
System Info can "see" the SD card and show me the available storage space.

Dunno why the damn package installer can't see the package in the window.
Any help on what mistake I'm making here would be gratefully accepted..
The SD card seems to be compatible....hmmm

Please email me with suggestions!
