Networking Apps for Cxx0 (C750)

[Dan000892]

Hi all, I\'m a bit new to the Z... just got my C750 a few days ago... figured out quite a bit quickly, but I have some questions.

Are there any software repositories that are specifically for C7x0 compatible apps, or best yet C7x0 Qt Apps?

I have some networking programs that I\'m trying to get running...

I got nessus, wellenreiter, vnc viewer, vnc server, wireless monitor, discoverer working, but I\'d like to get GAIM, Kismet, Ethereal, Nmap, bing, bmon working... Haven\'t had any luck yet.

Finally, are there any other utils that could come in handy to a network tech like myself?

Thanks a lot!

Look at http://killefiz.de/zaurus/, pretty much everything on there (unless it says otherwise) will be a Qtopia app (or command line) all of which will run on your C machine. The only things to avoid are the pdaXrom apps (which tend to be called *arm5tel.ipk) as they are for the most part X11 apps. OZ apps should run, but you\'ll have to do some messing around to \'fix\' them (extra libs which the Sharp ROMs don\'t have are somtimes needed and the ipk file format is different too).

One other thing to note - most of these apps are for the 5500 which means a smaller screen, but if they have been written well they will automatically adjust.

Try it and see.

I understand that the opie progs require libs, but I have been having problems installing or using the programs listed above... GAIM quits, Kismet cant connect to server, Ethereal wont install etc. I follow the instructions for each and I have gotten some progs working but not these.

The only things to avoid are the pdaXrom apps (which tend to be called *arm5tel.ipk) as they are for the most part X11 apps. 

I didnt think that arm5 or arm5l had anything to do with pdaXrom... I thought that denoted the instruction set used in the program as being for the PXA255 (Arm Instruction Set v5(l): 5600 C750 C760 C860) as opposed to the PXA250 (Arm instruction set V4: 5500 C700).

It does, it just happens that all of the apps in the pdaXrom feed are named *.arm5tel.ipk, whereas most others aren\'t named at all (in fact most apps are ARM4 so it doesn\'t matter too much). I wasn\'t trying to say that if it\'s got arm5 in the name it won\'t work, just that it indicates that it\'s probably been compiled with pdaXrom in mind (and it\'s also ARM5).

I thought that denoted the instruction set used in the program as being for the PXA255 (Arm Instruction Set v5(l): 5600 C750 C760 C860) as opposed to the PXA250 (Arm instruction set V4: 5500 C700).

No this is wrong in more than one way. PXA250 and PXA250 are both ARM5 chips, the 5500 and 5000D use the SA1110 processor which is ARM4. Therefore everything is ARM5 bar the 5500 and 5000D.

Try running GAIM from the command line, see what it days. Kismet requires that you run kismet_server (or something like that) before starting kismet itself. Ethereal may be an OZ ar style ipk....? Do you have a link to the file in question?
