Thanks Hrw - I have seen 3.5.4 RC available for dowload via openzaurus.org.

Would this version support WPA? If so , would you recommend downloading version 5.4 or is it likely to be very unstable?

Thanks,

Hey Kelly, thanks for the info. Hopefully 3.5.4 will support it, or perhaps another rom.

I'll keep looking, if I find an answer, i'll send you a message.

I have a 5500 running OZ 3.5.3 with OPIE 1.2.0 (hentges)

I have a Symbol Spectrum wifi card and i'm trying to connect to the wireless network I am running at home (my router is a Netgear DG834G).
The network uses WPA encryption.

When I plug in the wifi card, I can see the surrounding networks ok but cannot connect to my wirless network. I am unsure which settings to select in OPIE's network configuration tool to enable me to join my wireless lan.

In the netowkr tool, the connection appears on the list as 802.11b (eth0).
IP is listed as 0.0.0.0 as DHCP has not taken effect (since i'm not on the nw yet)

When I go to configure mode I have the following settings:-

Mode: Auto
SSID: NETGEAR - yes, i know I need to change this for security reasons!  
Specify access point (checked)
Specify channel (checked)

The main problem seems to be how I can enter the network key to join the wlan, not sure where to enter this (I tried entering the key is the "encrytion" tab but not sure if this is the right screen.

Any help much appreciated,

Thanks

Software / Opera 7.30 Not Loading

Thanks for the step by step help John, much appreciated.

I followed your suggestions and installed the two required libraries and opera without any problems, including linking them.

I can now load Opera and it appears but there is a further problem...

The error message 'could not open file' (with the file path file://home/QtP...something)

If I OK the message then it dissapears but no icons are displayed on the screen at all, just a series of small white blocks at the top of the screen, no navigation buttons or background etc..

Do you have any idea what this may be?

Thanks,

Hi,

I am currently running OZ 3.5.3 with Opie 1.2

I've had endless problems installing several different applications and was wondering if there are any vrsions of OPIE that come preloaded with common applications that are ready to use such as a pdf viewer, web browser, or tools such as kismit and wellenreiter etc...

If so, what are they are where could I get more information on them?

I do realise that it is best to practice installing apps and getting familiar with the command line install option, and I am doing this - but it would be nice to be able to use some of these basic applications in the meantime!  

Thanks in advance,

Z

UPDATE - I just found the compat libs file

I will try installing it now and try opera again,

quick question - when I install these compat files, do I need to symlink them aswell or is that only necessary when installing applications/games etc?

ok - good suggestion - tahnkyou
I tried running the app from the command line and got the error-

undefined symbol: 7QString.shared_null

I see from another thread that I do need the sharp compat libs you mention.

Where could I get these required library files?

Thanks,

Hi - I recently downloaded the opera 7.30 browser to my zaurus 5500 and cannot get it to load properly..

I installed it via the command line using...
ipkg -d ram install xxx.ipk

then symlinked it using...
ipkg-link add xxx

I then retarted Opie and the Opera icon appeared but when I click on it, the hourglass symbol briefly appears on the taskbar then dissapears?

SETUP:
Zaurus 5500
OZ 3.53
Opie 1.20
Symbol Spectrum Wireless LAN CF


Can anyone help me get over this problem?

Thanks in advance,

Z

I had no luck formatting the CF card or using it to flash a new OS / desktop.

I got a new CF card and it works fine...problem solved at least!

but the first step - unmount /media/cf gives the error:-

/bin/sh: unmount: not found
