Angstrom & OpenZaurus / ipkg-link doesn't obey /etc/ipkg.conf dest entries

« on: August 24, 2004, 07:08:59 am »

could this be the reason that all my attempts failed, to make my 2nd partition of my SD the target for installation on SD?
I added the dest line to ipkg.conf but still every installation was placed in card (mmcda1)

Tx for reply

Accessories / Zaurus doesn't read SD cards

« on: August 16, 2004, 05:49:02 am »

Hi mpray,
I had the same problem with my SD after letting Windows formatting it. Deeper inspection showed, that in stead of formatting the 1. partition (i. E. mmcda1) it formatted mmcda without any partition
So mount /dev/mmcda /mnt/card worked fine.
If this is true for you, there are two ways of getting the Z to auto-mount the card.
1. try fdisk-ing your card and give it at least one vfat-partition
or
2. vi /etc/fstab
   alter the line that reads /dev/mmcda1    /mnt/card ...something..
   to                               /dev/mmcda      /mnt/card ...samething...

the first is the better

Accessories / Auto-mounting multi-partitioned cards

« on: July 29, 2004, 09:24:59 am »

Hi all,
after some trial and error cycles, I finally got my SD-auto-mounting for 2 Partitions working. Since the sdcontrol is a little longish, I'm not quoting the code here.
What I did was to duplicate everything except for the initial comment lines and the final exit 0 statement, just altering three lines in the beginning:

ACTION=$1
DEVICE=/dev/mmcda1
MOUNT_POINT=/mnt/card
SMB_MOUNT=/home/samba/SD_Card
change to
ACTION=$1
DEVICE=/dev/mmcda2
MOUNT_POINT=/mnt/card2
SMB_MOUNT=/home/samba/SD_Card2

edititing fstab I just followed zenyatta's How-To which helped me quiet a lot.

I'm in no way certain whether what I did was all correct - though it worked for me.
If someone feels an urge to simplify the procedure, I'll be gratefull for a hint.

Accessories / Auto-mounting multi-partitioned cards

Hi zenyatta,
when I found this posting, I first thought, my problems where solved.
I have my SD-Card partitioned with 1. vfat and 2. ext2 but I'm not shure in which way your how-to can be adapted for SD-Cards. Can you give me some advise, where to find something similar for SD.
So far I found /etc/sdcontrol which seems to deal with mounting of SD, but beeing not exactly an expert, I'm completely at a loss to figure out, what to do.

Thx

Accessories / D-Link DCF-660W allways busy on C860

Hi all,
since I got no response, I continued trying on my own.
My last desparate move was to reflash - and bliss - it works like a charm.

Accessories / D-Link DCF-660W allways busy on C860

« on: July 23, 2004, 09:12:43 am »

Hi all,
finally I got my C860 with a D-Link DCF-660W WiFi Card.
I hope somebody can help me to get it working.
When I plugged it in for the first time, it was recognized correctly, the LED gave me a friendly blink and I left it at that since I hadn't got a WLAN around for further testing. When I tried to test it on my WLAN at home, everything seemed to be OK. I went thru the config but when I tried to connect, all I gott was a popup saying
"Network Device Busy" [OK]
I've tried cardctl resume; reset; eject - with no other result.
Btw. when I insert the card, the LED remains dark, I hope that doesn't mean the Card itself is gone!?
Cardctl ident says:
product info: "D-Link", "DCF-660W", ""
manfid:0xd601, 0x0005
function: 6 (network)

cardctl eject says "ioctl() Device or resource busy"


I have no clue, how to wake it up.
TIA
Jörg
