Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Help Request: Wireless On Tosa

« on: March 17, 2007, 02:33:17 pm »

Ok, there was also an applicable line in the /etc/wlan/wlancfg-mynetworkname file.

It said AuthType="opensystem"

I removed the quotes, and now iwconfig shows that there is an opensystem

However, udhcpd still does not connect.

I noticed that in iwconfig's output the bit

IEEE 802.11-DS

however, in my working laptop interface it specs

IEEE 802.11g

does this make a difference ?

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Help Request: Wireless On Tosa

« on: March 17, 2007, 01:41:12 pm »

Hello.

I'm using OZ 3.5.4.2-rc2 with Opie. I didn't have luck getting a wireless connection using the Opie network interface, so I used the guide for Tosa on the OZ wiki.

In my /etc/network/interfaces I have the line

Code: [Select]

wireless_ng_authtype opensystem
which is what my wireless network requires (works with my laptop)

however, when I open opie-terminal and type in iwconfig,  the output includes the line

Security mode: restricted

can anyone help me fix this ?

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Pdaxrom+6000

« on: September 20, 2006, 10:10:35 pm »

The easiest way, is to type "tail -f /var/log messages" then a few RETURNs, to
create a few blank lines in the terminal.  Then plug in the USB cable, and hopefully
there will be some useful info spit out, which you can paste into a reply post.

I hope this is not a 2.6 kernel issue, that is known, it sounds familar....  I have not
yet ever tried 2.6...
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=141699\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

tail -f /var/log/kernel/current gives no response.
lsusb lists only the usbhub

I don't think it is a problem with the 2.6 kernel, as I mention before, I had gpe-oz rom connnecting without problem.

I tried setting up the network with the USB app in the settings menu on my Z, but when I push the OK button nothing happens. If I exit and then restart the USB app it says that it is set to USBSerial. Again,  
setting the radio button to USBnetworking, and then hitting OK recieves no response.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / 1.1.0r121 Is Out!

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Pdaxrom+6000

« on: September 18, 2006, 12:48:34 am »

I'm a new sl-6000 owner, and looking forward to getting it going under pdaxrom, but right now I can't get usb networking going. (I had it with the openzaurus-2.4 kernel. My desktop has 2.6, of course)

I tried changing the settings with the network settings app, but when I push the OK button, nothing happens. I am logged in as root, so I am not sure why... Is there a equivelant to the openzaurus' /etc/network/conf file that i could hand edit ?

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / 3.5.4.2-rc2 Released

« on: September 10, 2006, 12:13:01 am »

I installed the bootstrap image on my tosa, but the console was in all caps, and I couldn't get usbd0
to operate.

And you'll never will, since that doesn't exist in 2.6, try usb0 instead (after checking wether g_ether is loaded)

So, I installed the gpe-image, had to login, but there is no startx command
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=140813\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Correct, X is started automagically by gpe-dm
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=140821\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

usbctl is giving me a "No such file or directory error" when I send it paramaters, such as status 0.
if I just enter /sbin/usbctl it returns a help line.

Now off to try opie

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Network Bridge Help And Discussion

« on: September 04, 2006, 06:01:15 pm »

Hmmmm - bridge or not to bridge ?

I have a single PC, but I connect to the internet via a LAN that I recieve an adress for by dhcpcd. Is bridging for me?

Sorry about the delay in replying.  It's just dawned on me that bridging is not appropriate for the case where you have a single PC connected directly to the internet (i.e. with a public IP address assigned by your ISP, e.g via a cable or ADSL modem), it is only of use where your PC connects via some kind of router and hence gets assigned a private IP address (e.g. 192.168.1.1). In this case you can assign another private IP address on the same subnet to the Zaurus.  If this is the setup you have, you should be able to configure the Zaurus's interface by dhcp by putting something like this in your /etc/network/interfaces file.

iface usbd0 inet dhcp

I have noticed it sometimes takes up to a minute from switching on the Zaurus before it becomes part of the network.  Once you get it working, check the Troubleshooting section of http://wiki.openzaurus.org/HowTos/Bridging_with_Gentoo you may need to adjust the MTU.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Network Bridge Help And Discussion

« on: September 01, 2006, 06:46:44 pm »

I almost have network bridging working - and I figure others have questions too so I figure I will start a new topic.

I have bridging working to the point where my desktop connects to the web with it, and dmesg shows that usb0 is added to br0, and I can confirm that dhcpd works for br0.

However, I don't seem to have the zaurus connection part right. It says it has usbd0 net up, but I do not have any real connetion to the net. Ping gets no response. I am using OZ-GPE so the net-settings screen is different than the opie one. Perhaps someone could explain what I should write into the /etc/network/interfaces file instead ?

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Help! Usbnet Crashes My Laptop! [solved]

« on: September 01, 2006, 03:31:40 pm »

Help! When I plug in my zaurus it crashes my laptop.

I have a SL-6000L with OZ-GPE3.5.4

My laptop has gentoo-sources-2.6.17-r4 kernel.

I last executed a tail -f /var/logs/kernel/current to watch what happened:

the messages say it recognized the device, loaded in the cdce module, all was fine

as soon as it loaded in the zaurus modules the entire desktop froze. no mouse movement, no keyboard, no
CTRL-ALT-BSPACE, no nothing. I had to push the reset button with my stylus to try anything.

I see that Gentoo has a r7 kernel out. Will try that, and will try not adding in zaurus modules. any advice welcome

UPDATE once I installed the gentoo-sources-2.6.17-r7 kernel WITH the zaurus modules, usb0 came up and worked as expected.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / An Oz/qpe Install Question

« on: August 29, 2006, 01:37:54 am »

OZ has always only supported the standard flash partitioning. If you were advanced enough to mess with the partitioning, we expect you to be advanced enough to change it back.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=137860\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

My Tosa came with pdaxrom, and i want to try out GPE. Can you tell me about repartitioning so that I can become advanced ?

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Recalibrate

« on: July 06, 2006, 09:37:14 pm »

1) Familiar 0.8.2 and 0.8.4-rc2 (currently the latter)

2) Sometimes it seems like the calibration gets horked and the screen won't respond, even if I reset. Or, I get stuck in a perpetual configuration loop. I've counted as I've clicked, and I've had to click over 150 times with no end.

3) No ts-anything . Wierd, huh ?

4) Again, no ts.conf that I can find
