Kernel Source 3.3.5
« on: October 05, 2004, 06:35:00 am »
Hi,

I was wondering whether anyone would know where I'd find the source for 3.3.5 (rom and kernel) and whether the instructions on cross compiling are still around?

I'm having trouble dialling out via a sony ericsson phone.  It turns out that this is a known bug across all linuxes and I've tracked down the solution.

Details of my investigations are here.

And an example of patching the problem is here, where someone had the same trouble with his ibm thinkpad laptop when he was installing Mandrake 10.0.

I'm running FreeBSD at my company's 'request', and unfortunately it seems to be the one OS that you can't cross-compile for the zaurus on.  I'm going to stick a distro on my pc at home and try to install the patch and re-compile the kernel.  Any recommendations on distros?  Anything I should avoid?

The reason I'm looking for the source for version 3.3.5 is because it was the last version that everything I bought the zaurus for worked.  Except dial-up on a Sony-ericsson phone.

Anyone know whether the irda adapter is an FIR or SIR setup?  Apparently you'd normally check in the bios on a desktop PC.

Thanks for any help you can give,

Harry.
