03:00.18darmouso there is the info update:)
03:03.41summatusmentisdarmou, those are the oesf forums?
03:04.53darmouyes
03:09.06summatusmentisok, well, that's good to know
03:48.58summatusmentisdarmou, which Z do you have?
03:49.23darmou3100 and 5500
03:49.39summatusmentisany programming experience?
03:51.02darmouyep I did this recently "Hi,
03:51.02darmouhave you made this change on Dillo? I just saw on my mobile statistics on
03:51.02darmouosnews a few minutes ago this user agent:
03:51.02darmouDillo/0.8.6 (X11; gpe; Linux armv5tel; AvantGo; en-US; 240x320)
03:51.02darmouSomeone came to osnews with such a user agent! Is this now part of Dillo for
03:51.03darmouFamilliar Linux?
03:51.05darmouIf yes, could you send me a screenshot?"
03:52.03darmouchanging I'm going to attach the patch as an oe enhancment, it means more sites will recognise dillo as a mobile browser and resise accordingly
03:52.33darmouoe = openembedded
03:52.44darmouDid you want something programmed?
03:56.00summatusmentiswell, I've considered working on a SD driver for the 2.6 collie kernel
03:56.19summatusmentisbut I'm pretty new to programming, and I was thinking about getting a group together, and working on it
04:00.32AzzIzzAsummatusmentis: how new? do you know perl? c? pointers and recursion? kernel interfaces?
04:05.37*** join/#openzaurus kb7sqi (n=kb7sqi@cpe-071-071-025-187.triad.res.rr.com)
04:07.40summatusmentisI know, C & C++, I sort of understand the concept of pointers, but I've not used them
04:07.55summatusmentisno on kernel interfaces, and uber-beginning perl
04:30.11AzzIzzAok, i was going to say if you dont know c or anything then start on something less ambitious :)
04:32.35summatusmentisAzzIzzA, yeah
04:32.54summatusmentisI hate to see the collie go by the wayside, with Angstrom being around the corner
04:47.33darmouWhen will Angstrom be released?
04:48.14darmouEven though I have a 3100 now is some ways collie is still pretty good, can't beat the form factor for example
04:58.11summatusmentisI don't there's a date set, I know someone was talking about an OZ 3.5.5 being the last OZ release
04:58.19summatusmentisafter that, everything going to Angstrom

19:20.28YoGanyone knows when will oesf be online again?
19:21.17YoGI miss my favorite forums :(
19:25.08summatusmentisYoG, I guess they've had difficulies with dreamhost and DNS
19:25.11summatusmentisthey're working on it
19:26.55YoGSummatusmentis, is there a way to access them or will they be offline until the problem is solved?
19:29.17summatusmentisafaik, they'll be offline
19:29.25summatusmentisthat's just what someone here said yesterday
19:31.49punkasssummatusmentis: were you the one yesterday talking about making a collie sd/mmc driver?
19:34.50YoGSummatusmentis, right... thanx
19:39.03summatusmentispunkass, yes
19:39.10summatusmentisor... trying
19:39.34summatusmentissure thing YoG
19:41.01punkassok
19:41.23punkassive looked into it already, hopefully this will help you
19:42.08punkassthe chip that controls the sd/mmc slot is a proprietary sharp chip that was made before the details of communication with those chips was openly known
19:42.19punkassand sharp has no interest in giving out any specs for the chip
19:42.57punkassso you need to either disassemble the driver and learn how to use that specific chip enough to write a collie driver to use it
19:43.15punkassor work around the chip and rewire the sd/mmc slot directly to gpios
19:43.20summatusmentispunkass, http://josejx.net/collie/ someone has already disassembled it, and that's what they've got
19:43.48summatusmentisI lack programming experience, which is why I was thinking about a group effort
19:44.21punkassoh cool never saw that page
19:45.01summatusmentisI don't really understand most of what's there, I'm very new at programming
19:45.29punkassyeah unfortunately I wouldnt be able to help
19:45.35punkassbut that is very encouraging
19:46.03punkassi was expecting collie to die because of that sd/mmc problem
19:46.46punkasshave you asked in #oe yet?
19:47.11punkassa lot more people, and it is a devel channel
19:51.23summatusmentisI haven't, I kind of forgot about #oe
19:52.11summatusmentisgiven that information, could the SD driver from the newer models just be taken and adapted?
19:52.30punkassi'd be willing to donate to the developers of a completed collie sd/mmc driver
19:53.20punkassi dont know enough about it to know how similar they would be
19:53.31summatusmentisinteresting, that's good to know
19:53.36summatusmentisI'll go check out #oe

21:23.53YoGhi
21:24.30Goggyis the oesf.org site down for a extended period of time? I'm an 5500 user and I've not been able to get to the site for about a week it seems.
21:26.10punkasssomeone emailed offroadgeek yesterday and he says it will be back soon
21:29.25*** join/#openzaurus mimecar (n=Miguel@100.Red-81-34-177.dynamicIP.rima-tde.net)
21:34.50agghow soon? :)
21:35.07mimecarevening :)
21:35.41summatusmentishello mimecar
21:36.33mimecarhi summatusmentis & company
21:58.14GoggyTrying to make a battery box for my 5500 to use AA batteries and google's cache of the site isnt all that great :)
22:00.19punkasswith radioshack parts you need adaptaplug size "B"
22:00.29punkassthe wire you plug the adaptaplug into
22:00.54punkassand the 4AA battery pack thing
22:02.37GoggyI've done that and it doesnt seem to work, the charge light doesnt go on
22:02.50GoggyI'm using 4 Nimh batteries, and a N4001 diode
22:03.21punkasshave to ask, you checked the polarity?
22:03.57GoggyYup I've got positive going to the tip negative to ring
22:04.27Goggyand the diode is on the positive side with the band side going on the tip the non band going to my red wire
22:04.35GoggyI get just over 5 volts, like 5.2 maybe
22:05.23punkassweird
22:05.31punkassmy 5500 only works with certain plugs
22:05.38punkassbut these days it barely works with any
22:06.16Goggyeep
22:07.29GoggyI'm hoping I can re-task my 5500 as a decent wifi network finder with a battery pack
22:07.42GoggyTrying to find unauthorized networks at work
22:08.27punkassyou can probably get a battery pack cheap enough on ebay if you just look for ipaq battery packs
22:08.30punkassthey work fine
22:25.21Goggyhmm maybe its tricklecharging or something
22:25.34Goggydamn thing went to sleep on me, battery says 70% and its going down real slow

22:46.20YoGadamowitz, did you try lsmod?
23:01.53adamowitzyes, but which module am I looking for?  This one by chance?: /lib/modules/2.6.16/kernel/drivers/usb/host/ohci-hcd.ko
23:02.50adamowitzI see this module (which I believe corresponds to that module file) in the list when I do lsmod: ohci_hcd
23:03.41adamowitzBut I don't seem to be able to activate the USB ethernet device/connection.
23:03.59adamowitzI'm running 3.5.4.1
