enodr, I just did the NAND restore from the D+B menu.  And it just worked ok.  I guess the 3200 already have 32M partition?  Lets compare our current partion with mine,which have gone through the Cacko ROM (but tell me how to check it, df -k?) 

You are right, the C3200 has a 44Mb partition.

Your backup is very nice! I managed to run Kismet and Wellenreiter on it, but I still need to figure how to do put the wireless card up from command line. I have a Planex GW-C11X, and doing:
- cardctl scheme CardResume (ok)
- cardctl scheme qpewlan0 (some iotctl busy error)
doe not work. I guess this is because the planex needs its firmware uploaded in the card RAM. Anyone knows where is the script called by the network applet?

Anyway, what I did is create a dummy profile (which requires to edit some config file because I can't set up an adhoc network from the GUI), then I connect to this dummy Adhoc network, and then launch Kismet or Wellenreiter.

Btw the latest Kismet 2005-08-R1 does not have curses interface compiled. Panel works but I have some strange squares on the screen instead of lines. I have to find out how to set up a comiling environment and re-builld it with curses. I don't like Kismet-QT because it doesn't have the powerfull features of the default kismet client (locking to a channel, display the number of packets, number of clients per AP, AP and client details, signal power, ...).

Ok now I realise that I have to put all this knowledge into a Wiki, cause it's really hard to find detailed and accurate information applying specifically to C3100 and C3200 models with Sharp ROM.

PS: I feel like trying the OZ3.5.4.1 ROM but it seems there is no 2.4 kernel for testing, and I don't want to mess with the HD partitions for the moment...

PPS: anyone willing to put on OESF wiki the 3100 and 3200 tech details? I had a hard time understanding that the NAND memory was split between 2 partitions, a read only one and the /home RW one. I can tell you it's 44032K / 79872K on the 3200. What about the 3100? (just run 'df' under a terminal).

I put this on the Wiki. That may of interest to others!

Btw meanie, any idea about the wifi card question (how to put the interface up using command line)?

also, i can put up all the ipks just so you can have them as a refference or you can view them in add remove program and you can see what is installed.

Does this support 2gig & up SD cards?

Do you have any details of what apps it contains?  I'm particularly keen on the kdepim apps

This is indeed the best backup image that I've ever found for my C3200.
