on the memory monitor plugin, theres a part for a swapfile. but it only wants to use cf or sd card, anyway to make it use part of the harddrive?

just had a bomb out.. was trying to connect wireless in our building, it wouldnt pull an ip from dhcp, so i specified one, and after about 2-3 seconds of trying to connect, it bombed and reset.

Please see the known issues/limitations in the readme.txt file. This is known and will be addressed at some stage.

One thing that I have observed with the Sharp ROM and it's equally important for this is that if you specify a default gateway in the config the ROM WILL try to ping the gateway to see if the link is up.

If you are on a corporate LAN then its possible that your IT people have blocked ICMP traffic to the router. Try to ping the gateway address from a desktop PC and make sure that the ROM is configured for that gateway address.

I haven't tried DHCP just yet myself.

OK, just tried DHCP, seems to work OK.

I'm wondering if this is the same issue, you have to have a pingable gatway if set or acquired by DHCP otherwise the unit drops the connection as unavailable.

My wifi did the same thing last night, i.e. tried for about 3 seconds and then reset. Turns out the IP I'd specified was already in use (yeah, yeah, I was going from memory, doh!), but when I specified a free IP it worked.

OK, good start then.

Actually before I go any further.. when you say it bombed and reset did you mean the connection or the whole Zaurus? If that's the case then could I ask you to try a different WLAN card?

If its a connection related issue though (and not a Z reset) could you see if you can manage a packet trace? Your need to scan in promiscuous mode from your sniffer because the ping will go to the specific mac address of the gateway... also may need to enable a monitor port on your switch to do this. - We are looking for not just the standard DHCP Req. Ack. Offer. Ack. but the follow-up ping working too.

Is that the card you had the suspend problem with?... could be either an issue with the Z driver or a duff card... intermittent or not... this is tetsu's kernel but he doesn't show any WLAN patches to the standard so we have to assume a Sharp module for the Ambicom WL100CF that you have... don't have one myself.

Ok Alpha team (god that sounds so 70's mini-series!)

If you download qtopia-memoryapplet_1.0.1_arm.ipk from the download location that I PM'd you then that will give you the option of creating the swapfile in the /home/zaurus/Documents folder which is symlinked to /hdd3/Documents.

I have only just made this modification and submitted it to Anton so please don't pass this around. If Anton likes all my patches then we will keep these binaries.

Works for me. I have a 32MB swapfile displayed on the battery applet's memory tab, and the applet's tray icon shows a lower percentage of memory used.

How did that happen, it was supposed to go on the memory applet... darn! (lol ).

ya, mines on the battery too.

also, one thing i would like to see, is on the file browser, browse all files, not just ~/Documents.
