| 00:38.00 | dougztr | Guess I'm having a conversation with myself. Oh well. Yeah I switched to to Opie and it's running much better. Wireless card is working, looks good! |
| 00:40.37 | CoreDump | Opie is the preferred UI for QVGA screens, yes |
| 00:41.16 | dougztr | I gave up on the Netgear MA701 and bought and ambicom. its working fine |
| 00:42.07 | dougztr | I had to delete all the orinoco-modules ipks, then reboot. |
| 00:43.41 | dougztr | CoreDump: so if I have OZ installed to my SD card on a loopback file, if my batteries go completely dead I won't lose anything like on the stock ROM's right? |
| 00:44.16 | CoreDump | right |
| 00:44.26 | CoreDump | you might have to worry about FS corruption tho |
| 00:45.13 | dougztr | It doesn't sync before it goes to sleep? |
| 00:45.54 | CoreDump | that it does |
| 00:46.11 | CoreDump | but if your battery dies while it is running, you may have a problem ;) |
| 00:47.02 | dougztr | OIC, I picked up some BL-08's and modified them to fit, still waiting on the special battery covers to arrive from canada though |
| 00:47.50 | dougztr | I've had this thing for like four years now, and its finally becoming usefull, lol |
| 00:50.23 | dougztr | Hmm I just upgraded the system, rebooted, and now the wireless isnt working, hmm |
| 00:52.38 | dougztr | crap now it says its an unsupported card after the system upgrade |
| 00:59.11 | dougztr | Its an AmbiCom WL1100C card, what ipk should I download to bootstrap it? I'll just copy it to a CF card and install the thing locally. |
| 00:59.54 | CoreDump | pull the card and reinsert it |
| 01:01.26 | dougztr | It activates the card, then when i pick the cf icon it says unsupported card, when i go to configure it wants me to bind it to something but wlan0 isn't on the list |
| 01:02.15 | CoreDump | I alway configure it manually via /etc/network/interfaces. When done, I copy a working interfaces file away and restore it after flashing a new rootfs. |
| 01:03.42 | dougztr | oh, how to I switch vt's? |
| 01:04.56 | dougztr | dmesg is reporting its a sa1100 |
| 01:09.02 | dougztr | guess I need to put the orinoco modules back now |
| 01:11.10 | CoreDump | Fn-LeftArrow & Fn-RightArrow |
| 01:11.27 | CoreDump | I think... |
| 01:11.35 | CoreDump | or Calendar instead of Fn |
| 01:12.45 | dougztr | calendar seems to work |
| 01:14.51 | dougztr | ok the ambicom is supposed to be based on the prism chipset, so i need the wlan-ng modules I think |
| 01:16.30 | CoreDump | no, prism 2* is hostap (which should have been installed by default) |

| 01:50.19 | dougztr | Hmm maybe I shouldn't have deleted the orinoco modules, it took the release rom a long time to dhcp but it worked |
| 01:51.08 | dougztr | It detected the card as a prism2 |
| 01:59.53 | dougztr | Oh this sucks! After the "Package Manager |
| 02:01.06 | dougztr | * -> Actions -> Upgrade, it kills my wlan card, this is the 2nd card I've bought now trying to get my Zaurus online |
| 02:11.57 | dougztr | Do I need to change all my package manager feeds to feeds.openzaurus.org ? |
| 02:12.47 | CoreDump | only if the feeds 404 for you |
| 02:20.01 | *** join/#openzaurus Civil (n=civil@89-178-255-8.broadband.corbina.ru) |
| 02:24.42 | dougztr | I figured it out, downgrading hostap and hostap-cs fixed it. Is there a way I can "lock-in" that version? |
| 02:28.10 | dougztr | CoreDump: Oh one other thing, what size loopback rootfs file do you suggest for a 1G SD card? I'm not too familiar with all the OZ apps yet |
| 02:28.42 | CoreDump | about 200Mb should be more than enough |
| 02:30.30 | dougztr | CoreDump: Ok, I'll go with 256Mb then, nice even number. I have the hostap ipks on my "setup" cf card now |
| 02:36.33 | dougztr | CoreDump: Oh, when you first install Oz, it loads itself to internal flash or something. can that be erased and a rootfs.gz file put there for altboot to intall onto SD cards without having to use a CF card? |
| 02:36.51 | CoreDump | no |
| 02:37.09 | dougztr | Just leave it be? |
| 02:37.24 | CoreDump | yes, if you trash it, it won't boot anymoe |
| 02:37.45 | dougztr | Well I know you'd have to leave some things, like altboot there |
| 02:38.45 | dougztr | Do you work on Angstrom? |
| 02:39.34 | CoreDump | sometimes, yes |
| 02:40.26 | dougztr | Any hope for collie to get support there? I've seen a couple new files there, but I don't think I can figure out how to run it on my 5500 yet |
| 02:43.44 | CoreDump | Can't say sorry |
| 02:47.46 | dougztr | If I can finally get my 5500 working nice, I might set up my Netwinder again for a development machine for it |
| 02:51.52 | dougztr | I just wish it had a FPU, its a neat little thing. noisy though |
| 02:54.25 | CoreDump | you don't wann develop on that thing, really |
| 02:54.32 | CoreDump | a compile would take _days_ |
| 02:55.12 | dougztr | Lol, yeah probably, an arm emulator would be lightyears faster. I should probably sell the thing off |
| 02:55.46 | CoreDump | you should cross-compile like everybody else |
| 02:56.50 | dougztr | I don't do a lot of c programming anymore though, I'm a mech engy. Most of my stuff is python programs now, getting old I guess |
| 03:07.29 | dougztr | w00t! It worked! I made a 256Mb loopback root, upgraded it, then downgraded the hostap to the 0.3.9-r7 packages, rebooted, and it came back up with wifi! |
| 03:08.00 | dougztr | CoreDump: Thank you so much for your helpful chat and moral support :-) |
| 03:08.15 | CoreDump | you're welcome ;) |
| 03:13.12 | dougztr | CoreDump: what are the typical Opie apps? Konqueror, Abiword, what about a SS? any other recommended things? |
| 03:13.47 | CoreDump | abiword is not opie |
| 03:14.04 | CoreDump | and there is no Opie SS that I know of |
| 03:14.17 | CoreDump | I haven't used opie in a loooong time |
| 03:15.03 | dougztr | probably the hancom apps will work with it, have the ipks somewhere |
| 03:15.36 | CoreDump | they won't |
| 03:15.52 | CoreDump | opie has changed too much and hancom was never updated |
| 03:16.01 | dougztr | CoreDump: Oh well |
| 03:16.34 | dougztr | CoreDump: thats why I was trying to install GPE earlier, but it ran too slowly on this old 5500 |
