Security and Networking / Wellenreiter On Z-5600

« on: January 01, 2006, 04:19:14 am »

Perhaps someone has the last bit of info I need to get Wellenreiter working on my Z 5600.

ROM is Sharp 1.32, and I am running Qtopia 1.5.4

Regards, and thanks in advance.

Slogan621,

I haven't had much look with Wellenreiter. You _may_ want to consider Kismet. There is a how-to for the SL-6000 (which should be close to what you need on the 5600) at:

I just grabbed the latest kismet (for Arm) from www.kismetwireless.net, and after uncompressing the binary (with uclx -d) it works like a charm.

I hope this helps,

Hey Craig,

Thanks. But Wellenreiter is what I really want to get running.

It's interesting to note that I was able to get Wellenreiter working on the 6000, but not on the 5600... I wonder if you would run into failures trying to get kismet running on the same 5600 setup?

I suspect this is going to be an issue with the kernel or ROM version, and I am dying to know if anyone has a clue regarding how to work around it.

Just an update. I got a new Z C3100 today, and Wellenreiter installed painlessly there. More evidence that the ROM/kernel defaults for the 5600 don't seem to be sufficient.

Security and Networking / Please Help With Built-in Wifi Problem

« on: December 23, 2005, 08:39:53 pm »

I've been using my built-in wifi for months and suddenly it won't work. The network program gets stuck when it's opening, I've lost the network applet, and I don't know whether I have a hardware or software problem. I've tried resetting and hard resetting, also check error menu. I've thought about reformatting but I'm not sure it would help. Does anyone have any suggestions that could help me identify the problem, or else fix it?

I had problems with my 6000L when I first bought it; wireless didn't work, and the wireless light wouldn't activate. However, I figured it was a hardware problem because plugging in a CF wireless card worked. So, I contacted Sharp USA, sent them both the 6000L and the wireless card, and in a week or so, they sent me my unit back, fully repaired, and it has worked nicely ever since.

So, it could be hardware. It happened to me, at least.

Hope this helps.

Security and Networking / Wellenreiter On Z-5600

Perhaps someone has the last bit of info I need to get Wellenreiter working on my Z 5600. I've followed numerous instructions on how to get Wellenreiter working on the Zaurus. The instructions worked fine on the Zaurus 6000L I own. However, on my Z 5600 -- when I go to configure wellenreiter (which is required before doing a scan), I cannot get anything but a blank popup window when I go to select the network device -- I'm expecting either wlan0 or eth0 (on the 6000L wlan0). The network I am starting is configured as:

IP: 1.1.1.1
Gateway: 1.1.1.0
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Network is ad-hoc.

Wellenreiter has root permissions.

ROM is Sharp 1.32, and I am running Qtopia 1.5.4

The wireless card is known to work well for getting on the net with this Zaurus 5600. One clue I think is that the wireless card activity light is solid green when I start -- I am expecting it to be blinking like it does on my 6000L. I also noticed that instead of wlan0, the active network device is eth0. But this is true also when I am using the network card configured by my wireless router via DHCP -- apparently some changes happened in the Qtopia ROM between the 5600 and the 6000L.

So, do I need an upgrade of the Sharp ROM to make this work? Or is there some magic I need to apply to get what works as advertised on the 6000L working on my 5600? Or is an alternate ROM/environment necessary (I did get wellenreiter working on an older Zaurus 5500 which I had flashed with OpenZaurus/Opie, but I want to stick with the Sharp ROM and Qtopia at this point in time).

Regards, and thanks in advance.
