Devices That Work Under Titchylinux.

[tux]

 I thought I'd start a list of peripherals that work under TitchyLinux.

I have Pretec CF wifi and three variants on the Zonet card. All work: the system loads Orinoco drivers. Wep works fine.


USB, using using modprobe ohci-hcd.

Sitecom Lan dongle, dhclient is very useful here.

ZIPPY usb keyboard works happily, but obviously the keymap would need swapping to match for extended use. Looking under the 6000 forums should be helpful.

Usb mouse, works sideways so would be a hassle.
Usb Logitech trackball, doesn't mind working sideways, just position it to suit. It is very accurate and smooth.

Obviously would need a powered hub to set multiple peripherals up.

I have a  CF modem and a CF GPS card to check.

I have Socket Bluetooth cards to check. (Done, recognised attempted to pair... I'd class that as working!)

The Socket bluetooth card was recognised and various initialisation messages appeared in dmesg.  

Message 1: ..HCI device and connection manager installed
Message 2: ..HCI socket layer initialised
Message 3: ..similar to wifi messages, driver needs updating...IRQ..
Message 4: ..Nokia control data = 0f 00, installed Bluez.

Similar results when I tried to use Sitecom Bluetooth dongle.  

I got some 4GB SDHC cards for my N800. They came with a usb dongle that reads them, I'll have to check that as well as the various usb memory devices I have accumulated.

The Socket low powerCF lan card was recognised on insert and worked automatically when I used dhclient. The system renamed the interface though. Don't know if this was why ifdown had no effect. As soon as I replaced the wifi card it came up with the settings from the installation and is working happily.

More later.  Just found my usb to serial thingy! I'll have to find time to check that out!

TitchyLinux is really looking good!

Let's see:  

My ambicom 1100C wifi card works, but that is no surprise.  I also have a powered usb hub which works nicely, once you load the ohci-hcd module.  BTW, it seems to work without power pretty well.  I can use a usb keychain drive for storage, a mouse (sideways), and printer (using cups).

My "buffalo" lan card works with no trouble.

I am going to test out a new wifi card that hopefully will do WPA, but we'll see how it works when it arrives.  I can also test out my wife's external cd/dvd burner, and my Garmin gps, but have yet to do that.

Only thing I have tried that has stumped me so far is  my bluetooth adapter, and I don't know much about that yet.

Here's another thing I just tried.  Hooked up my usb cf card reader to the hub, and it works for reading cf memory cards.  Useful.

-works out of the box in the install process
-after the install process, create a file blacklist-eth with these 2 lines:

blacklist hostap

I got my Garmin gps (Vista CX) recognized with my powered usb hub, and was able to download a route with gpsbabel.  Just read their instructions about removing and disabling the garmin_gps kernel module, which does not work properly.

apt-cache search gpsd

gpsbabel - GPS file conversion plus transfer to/from GPS units
gpsdrive - Car navigation system

This means, in this case, that gpsdrive will install gpsd.  I've fiddled with it on my desktop, and it worked there.  Probably more useful with the Z.  
The gpsbable package, AFAIK, does not use gpsd, but I could be wrong.  They yell at you to disable the garmin_gps.ko kernel module, since it does not work and they have their own way of reaching the Garmin from the machine.
