5x00 Hardware / HELP! - Socket wifi card locks up my 5600
« on: January 29, 2004, 07:28:32 pm »
Thanks guys.

I already went ahead and flashed it this past weekend.  I figured that had to be old. and worst case I could just refomat the user area to make it clean.

As far as the wifi card, this socket wifi card I am using now is assume.  The Ambicom uses more power than the Socket (something like 100mA vs. 20mA).  That being said. the Ambicom is cheaper and can be had at your local office max.  Plus, I believe the Ambicom driver supports WEP, while the Socket driver doesn\'t.  Not sure about range comparisons.

General Discussion / What ROMS are you using?

Tehas,

How long have you been using the \"special\" kernel, and have you had any problems with it (i.e., lockups)?

5x00 Hardware / HELP! - Socket wifi card locks up my 5600
« on: January 23, 2004, 04:10:38 pm »
When I try to use my socket wifi card in my 5600 it locks up on me until I remove the card from the unit.  Reboots don\'t help.  In fact, if I reboot while the card is installed, it locks up on reboot.

I am using the Sharp 1.21 ROM.  I hear the 1.32 ROM can fix my problem, but the Sharp website says the 1.32 ROM should only be flashed to a 1.00 ROM 5600.

Any help?

Is it ok to just flash the 1.32 ROM anyway?  This unit is new (just got it 3 days ago).

Sharp ROMs / Upgrading to Sharp ROM 1.32 from 1.21 on 5600

Is it OK to upgrade the ROM to 1.32 from 1.21?  The sharp website indicates that the 1.32 ROM should only be applied to a 5600 with 1.00, but my new 5600 has ROM 1.21.

5x00 Hardware / Burning odor when playing MP3s off of a CF card
« on: January 15, 2004, 11:34:00 pm »
Has anybody ever encountered the distinct odor of burning electonics whilst playing MP3s off of a CF card?  I was playing MP3s on my 5500 and it gives off this incredible burning odor.

I have two CF cards from my digital camera that I was borrowing to use in my Z to play MP3s.  Both produced the same odor.  It didn\'t seem to occur when playing MP3s from RAM or an SD card (although I did not do any rigorous testing).

Any thoughts?  I just bought it 2 weeks ago, so I think I will send it back for another just to be safe.

Regards,

Thanks for the help - the ~/.bashrc worked great.

General Discussion / problem with .profile
« on: January 09, 2004, 12:34:52 am »
I apologize, it\'s been a couple of years since I have a touched a unix-style OS.  Where is the system-wide .profile stored on the Sharp ROM?  That could solve my problem just as well.  The variable I am trying to add is CLASSPATH for compiling Java source.

Here is my .profile from /home/root:

# %ENV;

HISTFILE=/home/root/.bash_history
HOME=/home/root
QTDIR=/home/QtPalmtop
QPEDIR=/home/QtPalmtop
PATH=/root/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:$QPEDIR/bin
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR/lib
PS1=\"# \"
OPERA_DIR=$QPEDIR/opera
CLASSPATH=/usr/local/java/rt.jar

export HISTFILE HOME QTDIR QPEDIR PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH PS1
export OPERA_DIR CLASSPATH

Regards,

General Discussion / problem with .profile

I am having a problem getting my changes to my .profile to work.  I am trying to add an environment variable to my .profile (in /home/root), but my changes are never reflected when a I re-run terminal (even after a reboot).

I have an SL 5500 with v. 2.38 of the Sharp ROM.

Regards
