Beats me.  I'm not a programmer.  I mostly just break stuff.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=131780\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Color me dumb. I have been looking around trying to find libusb, only to see (tonight) that Meanie included it in his zip file.

Barry, you did install libusb as well as the wispy-tools, right? Can you give us the last 10 lines (or so) of your dmesg command output right after inserting the wispy.

thanks,

Craig...

I had already installed the same libusb that Meanie included.  I tried Meanie's just incase it was different.

This gives me a:
wispy_gtk: error while loading shared libraries:  libusb-0.1.4: cannot load shared object file: No such file or directory

Same for curses.  Both with root and the normal zaurus user.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=132299\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Hmm, that is kind odd, because you did install libusb, right? I ran ldd against the wispy-tools and it looks like it is going to find libusb just fine on my Z:
bash-2.05# ldd wispy_curses
        libusb-0.1.4 => /usr/lib/libusb-0.1.4 (0x4002a000)
        libncurses.so.4 => /lib/libncurses.so.4 (0x4003b000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4009d000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)

(ldd is on devimg if you have played with that)

Can you check to see that you have libusb in /usr/lib/?

Hmm, the sym links don't really matter (I believe) it is the actual ownership of the libusb library itself, and I can see that is owned by root, so it should be ok. Interestly enough your libusb library is a different size than mine.
bash-2.05$ cd /usr/lib
bash-2.05$ ls -l libusb*
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           16 Jun 22 01:45 libusb -> libusb-0.1.4.4.0
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           16 Jun 22 01:45 libusb-0.1.4 -> libusb-0.1.4.4.0
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           19 Jun 22 01:45 libusb-0.1.4.4.0 -> libusb-0.1.4.4.0.so
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     qpe         36968 Aug 12  2005 libusb-0.1.4.4.0.so
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           19 Jun 22 01:45 libusb.so -> libusb-0.1.4.4.0.so

Not sure why mine is 36k and yours is 27k. I installed the libusb that was included in Meanie's zip file. Is that the one you installed?

usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0x1781/0x83e) is not claimed by any active driver.

yep, no kernel module/driver
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=132304\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

So isn't this just an issue of configuring hotplug to associate a driver with this device? Barry, do you know which driver is being used in your working slackware machine? Perhaps you can give us a list of your kernel modules (on the slackware machine) which include usb:
/sbin/lsmod | grep usb

Thanks,

It sees it as a keyboard.   I've also compiled it in a knoppix live environment, and it sees it as a keyboard there as well.

Hmm, that is interesting. Well the good news is that there is a keyboard driver for the Zaurus. I have hooked up a USB keyboard to the Z and it works (sort of), with the exception that the key mapping is all wrong.

So perhaps there is hope. Perhaps all that is needed is a hotplug config to link the device with the keyboard driver.

I am heading to California in the morning, so perhaps I'll find a wi-spy there, if not I'll be ordering one when I get back.

Well, I looked all over the SF Bay Area for this device. No luck. I'll have to mail-order one. I hope to have some more info soon (after I receive it).

Good to see you're still looking into it.  My forhead hurts.  I have thought about flashing pdax just to see if it works that way.

OK, got the unit via mail-order. Got through the "device not claimed" (modprobe hid). Created /dev/hiddev0, but still getting "unable to find device" problem.

But I have only been working on this for a couple of hours. Unfortunately, I don't have strace to see exactly what the program (wispy_curses) is missing.

I did plug it into my LinuxPPC laptop, and after making wispy_curses and wispy_gtk, it works fine.

I do see differences between the LinuxPPC (kernel 2.6) and the Zaurus (2.4), which I am not sure about. On LinuxPPC, I see that it is the usbfs driver that is being used. I don't find a usbfs driver in the 2.4 kernel for the Zaurus (this could be a 2.6 only thing).

Barry, is your Slackware Linux 2.4 or 2.6? Can you do a cat /proc/bus/usb/devices and see what driver the wispy is using? Mine reports:
P:  Vendor=1781 ProdID=083e Rev= 1.00

S:  Product=Wi-Spy

It was 2.4.  Unfortunetly my laptop died on me over the weekend.  So no linux (other than my Z) till I can replace it.  That could be a while.

Bummers! I am sorry to hear that.

OK, I have a little more info on how this thing works. libusb requires usbfs to be available. Unfortunatley in the 2.4 kernel, this must be built into the kernel (not a module). The stock sharp kernel does not have usbfs built in.

I have the sharp kernel source, I can build a new kernel, but after that I am stuck. I don't know enough about how this thing boots to know where to put it, perhaps Meanie has some more info there. Perhaps the Guyhelm ROM includes usbfs, I'll have to do more research. But that appears to be the stopping point for the moment.

You need to get yourself an ambicom wifi card.  Kismet works on my 3200.
