Module ppp_async.o
« on: July 23, 2004, 07:34:47 am »
Hi, I'd like to know if anyone has compiled the module ppp_async.o for the SL5600 and Sharp ROM 1.32 before. I'd like to try and use the module to initiate a pppd session with the option flag_time=0.

I have an Ericsson T39m (firmware R4A) and Socket Bluetooth Rev.E which I can't get to work together in a GPRS connection. I can successfully authenticate and connect to my network APN but there is no flow of data between the Zaurus and phone. Oddly, I can surf without a problem in a CSD connection (although I never set the baud rate more than 19200 then). I'd appreciate it if anybody knew I could debug the problem further.

If anyone has the module, please reach me at jccmATebuzzDOTcomDOTmy - thanks.

Yay! I managed to compile the above module with zgcc2 and once I did a modprobe, my bluetooth GPRS connection worked like a charm.    So, I can assert that for older bluetooth-enabled Ericsson phones (T68i and older), you have to run the kernel module fix because of a IP framing error in the phones' firmware. Note that this does not fix IRDA connections with Ericssons though.

Incidentally, I tried to 'make zImage' using zgcc2 but I had a line parse error in stdio.h (are the zgcc2 include files somehow different from typical cross compilers?). I skipped that step and therefore ran 'make modules' without a modversions.h file. Since my Z did not complain about kernel versions during modprobe, I guess my compiled module is ok. But I wish I could fix the stdio.h error and finish compiling my own customised kernel image. Can anyone help?
