Anyone has a source code of the little bugger? I think it was available as a download on Sharp developer website ages ago....

General Discussion / help with SD read/write speed

« on: March 11, 2004, 06:52:17 am »

ha, I knew it was not Sharp  Very nice job, indeed. Thank you for sharing this information. I\'m not sure about legal implications, I doubt Sharp would care, but SD association well might. Although, the code probably doesn\'t contain any top secret encryption or anything,  you never know what those fat lawyers have in mind.

I\'d say it won\'t surprise me if the code would be leaked eventually somewhere outside of US. Regardless, please keep up good work, your changes are definitely in the right direction and much appreciated.

General Discussion / help with SD read/write speed

« on: March 10, 2004, 10:56:26 am »

May I ask the kind soul who anonymously posted the new MMC/SD module for 5000d/5500 - what are the changes/improvement over the old one from Sharp ROM 3.x days? I see that version string didn\'t change (still says \"sharp_mmcsd 0.21 27 Sep 2002\"), but some functionality was definitely changed. Does it mean that Sharp Japan is still burning money working on improvements for old 5x00 series, or mmc/sd code was given out to third party? Please shed some light if you can... and thank you for releasing it!
Thanks,

Security and Networking / Wellenreiter for qtopia again

Jeff, thanks! My Z is back to business. Your build, indeed, works on Qtopia and Wellenreiter uses IW_MODE_MONITOR mode now. Very nice.

Anton, there\'s nothing wrong with hostap driver. But it doesn\'t support every wireless card on earth, i.e. ones which require uploading firmware on reset, such as Symbol Spectrum24.

Mickeyl, thanks for your great work on Wellenreiter, looking forward to your new releases...

Anton,

Wellenreiter 0.9x worked for me too, the only problem is it doesn\'t use IW_MODE_MONITOR mode.
While hostap driver provides backward compatibility, the new orinoco doesn\'t. So I\'m looking for a new version of Wellenreiter that can do IW_MODE_MONITOR mode.

Security and Networking / Wellenreiter for qtopia again

I\'m sorry to beat a dead horse, since I\'m sure it was discussed already before... Nevertheless, I still can\'t find a definite answer. Which recent version of Wellenreiter II (and opie libs) works on Sharp\'s Qtopia?

I\'ve tried ver.1.0.2 (from 2003-12-18 ) from http://opie.net.wox.org/wellenreiter/feed/...0031218_arm.ipk. Change log (http://opie.net.wox.org/projects/wellenreiter.html) specifically mentioned: \"The monitor mode now tries to use the standard IW_MODE_MONITOR first. If that doesn\'t work, it falls back to using the proprietary iwpriv commands.\" That sounds perfectly fine, since IW_MODE_MONITOR first appeared in WE15, and I have a kernel with WE16. Also HostAP and recent snapshots of orinoco (patched by Pavel Roskin) both support IW_MODE_MONITOR mode. One would think that everything\'s on the same track and should play nice with each other, right? Well, I thought so too... but Wellenreiter errors out with: \"Can\'t set interface \'wlan0\' into monitor mode: No such file or directory\". So the question remains - which version of Wellenreiter *DO* actually work on Sharp\'s builds of Qtopia? Maybe I just need to upgrade opie compatibility libs for qtopia? Frankly, the ones I have are pretty old (dated July 2003 or so).
I really like Wellenreiter II and I think that it\'s a great peace of software. Was using the old version (from summer of 2003) on my Z with old HostAP and old orinoco/spectrum_cs drivers. But just recently upgraded kernel from WE14 to WE16 and decided to upgrade HostAP and orinoco drivers as well. Hope there\'s something I still missing to get Wellenreiter work again? Anyone?
Thanks,
