Fixes For 3.5.4 / Tosa (6000 Models)

[nevarrie]

I am looking at writing an app or modifying an app to maintain profles and bring the wifi up and down for the the prism2_usb wifi using the wlan-ng drivers(This is the correct driver the 2.6 kernel I believe).  

So far I have not got the prism2_usb driver to work on the 2.6 kernel, but I am guessing I have something set wrong or usb issue at this point or an I looking at this incorrectly?

I am hoping to write a scope this weekend of what needs to be done, including what features I want or others what it to have.

So back to my questions:

Is wlan-ng still the correct drivers for the wifi on tosa for 2.6?

Should a seperate app be create that will handle the internal wifi on the tosa?
or
Should on of the existing apps be modified to have options for the wlan-ng drivers?

I am planning on starting a different thread for this but I thought I woudl start here first since it is one of the things we want fixed on OZ.  So thought ideas and opinions are welcome.

wlan-ng is proper driver for 2.4 (0.2.1-pre) and 2.6 (0.2.3 or newer).

For profiles I suggest trying WPA-supplicant - if it work with wlan-ng then you get profiles support for free (no encryption/wep/wpa/wpa2). And there is CLI manager for it and QT3 based one.

I'm happy work is starting to come up for the 2.6 kernel :-)

Thanks to all !

Hello
I just flashed my SL-6000L with the latest version of 2.6 tosa. Everything so far seems to work fine. The keyboard locking and Fn+number I had with OZ 3.5.4 Opie 1.2.1 and kernel 2.4 is gone. I do have one problem an this is accessing my SD card. When using File Manager I cannot read SD?  
Where should I look.

I know that the focus has shifted to the 2.6 kernel and it seems to coming along.  But I was wondering if anyone had yet found a fix for the alarm resume from suspend yet?  

As always thanks for all the effort OZ team!

After a couple of false starts I have been able to really test the posted 2.6 kernel, and its very impressive.  Suspend and resume work grood and they are very fast.  This could be the bigest jump in functionality in my Z in a long while.  The only real show stopper at this point (that I have) is the resume for alarms.  Once that is done, I could use this everyday.

Its been a few months since the last image was posted, has there been any progress that would warrent posting a new alpha image?

Thanks

sounds good bud !  Giving it also some testing...

I simply refuse to sell this beautiful piece of hardware, it's just the software which needs to work good and it'll be godlike

[trichmon]

I agree i dont want to sell this hardware but i have to admit that its hard sometimes.  Having a tosa and wanting to use non-sharp roms has not always been a pleasent setup.  The only roms that have working alarms are sharp and pdaxrom.  And it seems that development is centered around the 1000,3100,3200 now.  And i know its hard for the dev teams to support the tosa because they dont have many to work with.

Hi all.

I gave the 2.6 image a go today, and I must say, very nice.

The increase in performance is stunning to say the least.  It feels nearly like a new machine.  Applications seem to load and run much more quickly than OZ 3.4.5.  Screen rotation also takes far less time.  I also like the added granularity in the back light brightness.

I may be missing something, but suspend and resume is worse with this image than the latest OZ release.  It seems to resume when putting it back on the dock after suspending it while on battery.  It also hung on resume after suspending/resuming while on the dock, but I can't seem reproduce it.

The old blue and yellow artifacting is still there (which I seem to remember reading was a bug in X and not the kernel), and resume on alarm still doesn't work.

Over all, the 2.6 image isn't ready for day to day use (for me anyway) but very, very promising.


Anyway, just my $0.02.

Ah sweet !
keep us updated and also if you need to test stuff it would be awesome if you can place it in this topic.

Thanks bud !!!!

[trichmon]

Thats great to hear.  I have had to stop using my z (at least for now) and start using a wm5 device for work since I could not get all the pieces i needed to interact with the office.  But I am close and cant wait to see oz with working alarms.

Hi all.

....

It seems to resume when putting it back on the dock after suspending it while on battery.

This is a known bug. I'll fix this soon.

It also hung on resume after suspending/resuming while on the dock, but I can't seem reproduce it.

I saw this one time, can you provide more details?

The old blue and yellow artifacting is still there (which I seem to remember reading was a bug in X and not the kernel),

This has a low priority, I'll look into this later.

and resume on alarm still doesn't work.

This should be working. I checked this some time ago. Can you provide the dmesg output?
