**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Aug 13 02:59:56 2007 Aug 13 08:30:41 * xota saluda! Aug 13 11:24:29 * xota re! Aug 13 12:47:17 gday all Aug 13 14:53:43 * xota re! Aug 13 15:15:14 hi there Aug 13 15:15:39 maybe somebody can help me Aug 13 15:16:18 my problem is, that when i plug in a wlan usb dongle into the zaurus my dmesg says insufficient available bus power Aug 13 15:16:53 can you somehow force it to power the dongle? Aug 13 15:26:09 andi_: make sure you've got the ochi-hcd module loaded Aug 13 15:26:21 but there is only so much power the Z provides through USB Aug 13 15:27:30 i got the ohci-hcd probed Aug 13 15:27:45 is it still saying there's not enough power? Aug 13 15:28:04 isn't it just a matter of configuration? .. yes i probed it before i tried that Aug 13 15:28:29 I honestly don't know what sort of configuration it would be.... Aug 13 15:28:53 i probed ohci-hcd and then i plugged it in . then it said insufficient available bus power. hm, ok Aug 13 15:29:05 thank you anyway Aug 13 15:29:22 now, I'm not a kernel guru, by any stretch, but afaik, there's only so much power the usb port can provide Aug 13 15:30:00 andi_: you need a powered hub Aug 13 15:30:08 a zaurus can only do ~160mA on the usb port Aug 13 15:30:23 your dongle requests more, and the kernel denies it Aug 13 15:31:03 hm, what a pitty, that might also be the reason, why nobody uses wlan dongles with their zaurii Aug 13 15:31:33 you can use it with a powered hub Aug 13 15:32:02 powered hubs are hard to carry around though Aug 13 15:32:28 you can have a battery powered hub Aug 13 15:32:43 2xAA battery pack + DCDC boost converter and all should be fine Aug 13 15:33:05 right :) , oh, nice idea, i will look out for a battery-powered usb-hub Aug 13 15:34:11 well, thank you for the quick answers. have a nice day Aug 13 15:34:14 bye Aug 13 15:36:02 hmm... anyone got Angstrom working on a SL-5600? The jffs2 image appears to bomb when flashing Aug 13 15:37:17 iirc, the images are too big for the internal flash Aug 13 15:37:59 the x11 ones are Aug 13 15:38:04 the others should be ol Aug 13 15:38:06 ok* Aug 13 15:38:46 * summatusmentis does need to catch up again, as he was unable to connect to freenode for two weeks, and then got a new computer Aug 13 15:42:12 * xota re! Aug 13 15:54:44 ah... That's the error I'm seeing. Grr. Aug 13 15:55:02 I guess the existing problem has never been solved and never will be :-( Aug 13 15:57:03 software bloat...the bane of computers everywhere... Aug 13 15:59:43 I don't know this for sure, but It's likely that the images will be shrunk down so as to fit on the internal flash. Or you can do a loopback image on SD Aug 13 16:02:04 well, I guess the whole point is hopefully fitting everything in internal flash... also if it fits in internal flash, it should be small enough to fit in internal ram :) Aug 13 20:15:37 hi there, i need the ieee80211softmac kernel module for the kernel 2.6.21 which is delivered with the current angstrom for akita. i can find that module-package for the 2.6.19 kernel. now i set up a bitbake environment with which i successfully built a zd1211 module yesterday. theproblem is that i can not find a bb-file for the ieee80211softmac module and that i do not know how to configure a kernel like with make menuconfig before building it Aug 13 20:15:37 with bitbake virtual/kernel Aug 13 20:16:09 what machine? Aug 13 20:16:12 akita Aug 13 20:16:30 I am not familiar with that machine Aug 13 20:17:10 you can go into tthe work area and find where the kernel is built and run make menuconfig there Aug 13 20:17:15 and turn on the module Aug 13 20:17:32 ok ill try that, thank you Aug 13 20:17:34 then copy the config back to packages/linux Aug 13 20:17:39 then rebuild kernel Aug 13 20:17:55 you need to find to defconfig used for akitat in packages/linux Aug 13 20:18:08 ah ok then how do i find which kernel the angstrom2007.1 uses Aug 13 20:18:33 ah found it Aug 13 20:23:04 ok now i have turned it on as a module in the config and i have the .config file. now where exactly do i put it in the packages linux folder? Aug 13 20:25:40 do i just overwrite the defconfig-akita with it? Aug 13 20:32:43 now i just copied over the defconfig-akita to the kernel in the work directory, enabled ieee80211softmac as a module with the menuconfig and copied the defconf tight back. will try that now. have to go offline. thank you for your help Aug 13 20:32:46 bye Aug 13 20:47:51 ok building now, with bitbake virtual/kernel, hope it will use my config Aug 13 20:49:38 andi_: if you get it working, post a patch/wish to the bugtracker so we don't forget Aug 13 20:53:07 ok i will do that, i will post a whish for the zd1211 wlan dongle module, too. there was one for 2.6.19 but again not for 2.6.21 **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Aug 14 02:59:56 2007
