| 01:22:56 | Bill_C | has anyone been able to get a 3c589 card to work on an ipaq? |
| 01:24:07 | Bill_C | I also have a 3com wireless lan card (but have no clue what module to load) |

| 16:16:14 | digitalpeer | so is "familiar" the actual linux distro for specifically iPAQ? |
| 16:18:35 | sparkydog | It could be safe to call it that |
| 16:21:52 | digitalpeer | and compaq seems to support this? |
| 16:22:01 | sparkydog | yup |
| 16:22:12 | digitalpeer | basically, i'm looking at getting a PDA, iPAQ seems to be the best |
| 16:22:26 | digitalpeer | linux, color display, and the ability to write programs for it is a must |
| 16:22:50 | digitalpeer | i know nothing about the whole PDA/Linux scene |
| 16:22:54 | digitalpeer | got any recommendations? |
| 16:23:22 | sparkydog | I have a 3600 I bought a year ago, and put linux on it just yesterday |
| 16:23:25 | Bill_C | i have an older ipaq, and familiar/opie brought new life in it |
| 16:23:28 | sparkydog | Its working great so far |
| 16:23:30 | sparkydog | yup |
| 16:24:05 | sparkydog | http://131.152.105.154/~opie/screenies/screnies.php |
| 16:24:08 | digitalpeer | what about inet connectivity, regular PDA to computer connectivity, etc...are there any issues with linux? |
| 16:24:11 | Bill_C | devices seem to work better than ce |
| 16:25:02 | sparkydog | You can get inet two ways, with an expansion card or through the host using serial or usb |
| 16:25:59 | digitalpeer | interesting |
| 16:26:29 | digitalpeer | so has anybody actively developed programs for it? |
| 16:26:37 | digitalpeer | like what kind of api does it have? |
| 16:26:46 | digitalpeer | gtk support or anything similar? |
| 16:26:56 | Bill_C | i wish, i'm a delphi,kylix dev, but no cross compilers avaiable |
| 16:27:32 | Bill_C | yeah gtk libs are avail for install |
| 19:10:27 | sdafsadf | helo |
| 19:11:39 | sdafsadf | can i connect using terminal emulation to linux through usb rather than serial port? |
| 19:11:49 | sdafsadf | cos there is no such option in hyperterminal |
| 19:15:03 | erc | Check out ftp://ftp.handhelds.org/pub/linux/dists/compaq/ipaq/stable/install.html |
| 19:15:12 | erc | It says it supports the USB cradle |
| 19:15:39 | erc | If you don't have a COM1 or whatever device in Hyperterminal, it means that another device has got the serial port |
| 19:15:56 | erc | If you've got ActiveSync running, make sure it doesn't have the serial port |
| 19:16:39 | sdafsadf | o |
| 20:21:17 | sdafsadf | hi |
| 20:21:21 | sdafsadf | ipkg -force-depends install * |
| 20:21:21 | sdafsadf | ipkg: invalid magic |
| 20:21:32 | sdafsadf | i can't install the file i download |
| 20:21:36 | sdafsadf | can anyone help? |
| 21:24:13 | Heady | I was looking at buying an iPAQ 3870 sometime this week. I've found http://www.ipaqpetition.com/petition/index.htm#38ISSU - are these things really a problem for an iPAQ & Linux? |

| 23:23:30 | farshad | hi |
| 23:24:23 | farshad | I need to port a Linux module to Familiar |
| 23:25:24 | dneuer | farshad: what module? |
| 23:25:30 | farshad | an LKM |
| 23:25:39 | farshad | and I can compile and insmod it |
| 23:25:41 | farshad | but |
| 23:25:52 | farshad | it is supposed to replace s system call |
| 23:25:58 | farshad | and it does not do it |
| 23:26:08 | farshad | it loads but does nothing! |
| 23:26:43 | farshad | have you ever replaced a sys call on familiar? |
| 23:27:01 | farshad | my module works fine on my Redhat |
| 23:28:14 | farshad | ? |
