New kernel for Orinico/Symbol/Socket users

[Anonymous]

Today...at the anger of my wife (too much time on a PDA), I very carefully built and compiled a new C760 zImage with the orinoco and spectrum latest drivers and with the monitor patches.  It makes Kismet 3.0.1 run very nicely with a Symbol/Socket card

This kernel is identical to the one on the stock C760...but with the nice drivers.

For those who may not understand the difference between a kernel and ROM...this IS NOT A ROM!!  Its a kernel.  You can still use your favorite Cacko or other Sharp compatible ROM with this.

Now...I just need to get to the right person on this site to upload it.  Anyone know who I need to contact?

Ooops...forgot to post...the drivers fro teh orinoco are at 13e and the spectrum is 0.4.2.

Hi

I can put it on my ftp server until someone uploads it here if you like.

e-mail it to Richard@Swanbourne.com

Once uploaded I will post download instructions for everyone.

Regards

Richard

Thanks to javab0y for new kernel to download

There are two files visible the kernel is in a zip file caled javab0y_kernel.zip

The other file is for ipkg-new

P.S I\'m posting this so quick I haven\'t tried it myself yet but am about too

Check the dmesg after a boot.  you will see the messages:

Code: [Select]

orinoco.c 0.13e (David Gibson and others)

orinoco_cs.c 0.13e (David Gibson and others)

spectrum_cs.c 0.4.2 (Pavel Roskin and others)

You will be good to go for Kismet.  It works wonderfully.

Very good. I hope you also enabled the generic wireless extension support? Because if so, then that will make Wellenreiter II work on SharpROMs.

[Anonymous]

Yes, I\'m also hoping you added wireless extensions to the kernel.  As I understand it, you need them to use WEP with these cards.

[Anonymous]

mickey,

I saw that wireless extensions were on (CONFIG_NET_WIRELESS=y).  Is there another kernel option to enable?  If so I will build another one   I would love to get Wellenreiter running on this baby.  When I run Wellenreiter now, it launches, but complains about the PCAP is not able to run on the interface.  I have libpcap on the machine (Kismet is using it) so I am a little confused about the message.

BTW...I was in Frankfurt a few weeks ago for work...I spent alot of time in Sachsenhausen   The beer is good!

Also...yes WEP is working fine in this kernel...I connect just peachy with the 108 bit WEP

[Anonymous]

Ok...I verified...Wireless Extensions are indeed enabled.  So I guess we just need to figure out whats up with the Wellenreiter/PCAP issue and I guess in theory Wellenreiter should work.

What I have found is Wireless Extensions v13 is on this kernel.  I can patch it to get it up to the v16 release.  I will give that a roll and see if I run into any problems.

[Anonymous]

Getting close on Wellenreiter.  Notice the eth0 is statusing \'ok\' for wireless extension calls.  Not sure of the problem now...since libopienet2.so.1 is on the machine.  The error now is undefined symbol: __27OOrinocoMonitoringInterfaceP17ONetworkInterface.  Any hints would be helpful.  Ithink I am close. BTW this is on the Cacko 1.18 ROM.  The error dump is below.

Mirrored Javab0y\'s zipped kernel on ZUG downloads.  It can be found here.

[Richjn]

Thanks to Taim and offroadgeek for posting the files I have been hosting to the ZUG downloads. I am now taking user Zaurus of my sytem but if I can help in a \"crisis\" again let me know.

Hey coolness, I live directly in Sachsenhausen... we could\'ve met for a beer

That looks like your Wellenreiter II ipk does not match the date of your libopie2.

SUCCESS!!!  Wellenreiter is running on the Sharp ROM.  This blows Kismet away!

I used the feed from Mickey\'s site http://www.vanille.de/feed/sharp/, so I am using v .99 of Wellenreiter, etc.

The one PITA is...it wants to be run as root.  When I run it from a command line as root , it gives me a message:

\"Qt/Embedded data directory is not owned by user 0\"

So...I did a chown on the /tmp/qtembedded-zaurus as root:qpe.  Then it ran.  This is a bad kludge since this will lock up the zaurus.  Any work around for this?
