Are you trying to connect with WEP or WPA ?? WPA doesn't work with those cards.

sorry about that... I was referring to the .ipk

I just soared over the text and didn't see "source file"

Thanks Jon J for the follow up.

Sharp ROMs / Using 4gb Sd-card

« on: March 13, 2007, 04:11:32 pm »

Cacko Lite does have the memory applet however I think a swap partition would be best.  

I setup a 512mb partition for my 4G card and it works great.  

I don't think I ever use it to the full 512 extent however it feels good to know it's there.  Especially when I learn how to compile.  

The memory applet just creates a swap file not a partition.  So to turn on the swap partition just issue a

swapon /dev/mmcda2 #  That's for the second partition on the SD card.

Would you say it's more like XP than Window CE?

Danboid, Jon J, and Others,

Would you guys recommend creating a library of NAND backups with pre-configured apps?

I have a C1K that I can load a fresh install of cacko lite w/
1.  Greater than 2Gb SD support
2.  KO/PI
3.  Cresho's Zemu
4.  Wellenweiter, WPA_Gui (if i can get it working  )
5.  Hancom Word, Sheet, Text
6.  Kino, mplayer, Voice recorder,
7.  Pre-configured feeds
8.  Others

Since I only have a C1K I would need help with others who have a 3000, 3100, 3200, and others.  

That's only if Antikx will have enough space and wouldn't mind hosting these.  

Any thoughts, comments, concerns?

Sharp ROMs / Wpa-gui Backported To Sharprom

« on: March 08, 2007, 03:52:39 pm »

Thanks for the heads up Speculatrix.  I've setup wpa in cacko before when I know the ssid and passphrase.  However I'm hoping that this gui that enodr backported will give us a better automated process.  The problem I'm having is that if you don't know the ssid and enter it in the wpa_supplicant.conf file it will not let the daemon keep running.  Or at least kick into the /var/run directory.  

Correct me if I'm wrong but theoretically we should be able to kick off the wpa_supplicant daemon in a "ap-scan" mode and then use the gui to find service set id's.  From there use the gui to enter in a passphrase and have that edit the wpa_supplicant.conf file to ensure our passphrases our encrypted.  Am I right with this thought process?

How about a section on recommended cacko apps like

kino2
zplayer
shoutcast streamer
photostorage
snes9x

Maybe with screenshots and instructions/tips where necessary?
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=155744\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

I was thinking about that.  I mainly wanted to start off with the basics or "First things I do when I reflash to Cacko".  So far it's

1.  SD cards larger than 1GB
2.  Setting up wireless with WPA
3.  Cresho's emulators SNES, SMS, Zgnuboy, ... Games are important
4.  Feed's

All the things that I have to filter through threads to find the answer.  Thanks for the ideas.  More are always welcome.

Sharp ROMs / Wpa-gui Backported To Sharprom

« on: March 08, 2007, 02:42:09 am »

I noticed the cacko rom had wpa_supplicant preloaded with the rom.  However it's not in "/var/run/wpa_supplicant".  It's in /home/root/usr/bin/wpa_supplicant

Should I link it? Sorry if it sounds dumb sometimes the newb in me comes out.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=149967\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

/var/run/wpa_supplicant/ is a directory created when you launch wpa_supplicant. In this directory there is one socket for each Wifi card (eg wlan0). So no do not link anything here. Just:
- create a blank /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file (sudo mv /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf.sample && touch /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf)
- launch wpa_supplicant (wpa_supplicant -Dhostap -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -iwlan0 -
- you can optionally create a script to launch wpa_supplicant at startup (put in /etc/rc.d/init.d and link to /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/)
- launch wpa-gui
- Enjoy!

PS: I noticed that dhcpcd would not give me a new IP address when connecting with wpa-gui unless I had disabled and enabled the wifi card before. Sending a dhcpcd -N should do this, but it's not working. Maybe I overlooked some easy step here.

Thanks for the help so far.  I also appreciate your new Sharp feed.  

I noticed that in cacko the wpa_supplicant version is at 0.3.8.  It was giving me problems when with the wpa_supplicant.conf file when I tried to start it.

Code: [Select]

$ sudo wpa_supplicant -Dhostap -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -i wlan0
wpa_supplicant v0.3.8

usage:
  wpa_supplicant [-BddehLqqvw] -i -c [-D] \
      [-N -i -c [-D] ...]

drivers:
  hostap = Host AP driver (Intersil Prism2/2.5/3)
  wext = Linux wireless extensions (generic)
options:
  -B = run daemon in the background
  -d = increase debugging verbosity (-dd even more)
  -K = include keys (passwords, etc.) in debug output
  -t = include timestamp in debug messages
  -h = show this help text
  -L = show license (GPL and BSD)
  -q = decrease debugging verbosity (-qq even less)
  -v = show version
  -w = wait for interface to be added, if needed
  -N = start describing new interface

No networks (SSID) configured.
So I noticed in your feed that you compiled a newer version of wpa_supplicant of 0.4.9.  When I tried to start it I got this

Code: [Select]

$ sudo /home/root/usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -D hostap -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -i wlan0

l2_packet_receive - recvfrom: Network is down
ioctl[SIOCSIWSCAN]: No such device
Failed to initiate AP scan.

Could this be from having the older version that's built into the Cacko ROM?  Or am I just a knuckle head that's missing something obvious.  When this process is running it does not create anything in /var/run/ .

Thanks in advance for the help
