**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Mar 02 10:59:56 2006 Mar 02 15:14:58 HopsNBarley: Which version of the driver are you using btw? Mar 02 15:15:26 (zd1211) Mar 02 16:56:32 NAiL: i've got zd1211 r59-r0 on 2.6.16-rc4-git9-r0 Mar 02 16:57:24 seemed to work... but i've got no serial port... so i'm not really sure. Mar 02 16:57:42 do you get network connection with the dongle? Mar 02 16:58:05 I haven't tried the latest rev myself yet, I've just used -r52 and I'm having problems with it Mar 02 16:58:15 (Ie, it hangs on high load) Mar 02 17:16:26 Anyone got a prebuilt ppp_synctty.o for openslug 2.7-beta? Mar 02 17:19:08 It isn't available in the feed? Mar 02 17:19:28 (If not, what's the kernel CONFIG_ to enable?) Mar 02 17:21:05 well, lets see... Mar 02 17:21:33 NAiL: nope, not in the feed. hang on, scanning the kernel source now. Mar 02 17:21:40 s/source/config/ Mar 02 17:21:41 philpem meant: NAiL: nope, not in the feed. hang on, scanning the kernel config now. Mar 02 17:22:36 CONFIG_PPP_SYNC_TTY Mar 02 17:24:49 tailing the log, it seems i'm associated with my AP. Mar 02 17:25:48 brb, switching PC Mar 02 17:29:57 dhclient sure is ornery... Mar 02 17:31:30 i'm receiving packets... Mar 02 17:32:45 philpem: ok, I've changed the defconfig. It should be in the feed in ... a while. Mar 02 17:33:56 thanks, NAiL. "a while"? Mar 02 17:34:01 Probably within an hour Mar 02 17:34:41 ok, so it'll appear on ipkg.nslu2-linux.org? Mar 02 17:36:01 NAiL: sorry, i'm sorta worthless here. i can ping the address, but arp reports it's the same physical as eth0. so i'm not sure what to do at this point to test it. suggestions? Mar 02 17:38:10 philpem: yes. Mar 02 17:38:33 HopsNBarley: hmm, no Mar 02 17:38:40 I don't have my setup handy Mar 02 17:39:02 i suppose i could hard code the correct physical in the arp cache, then redo a ping... Mar 02 17:39:58 my stupid AP doesn't list associations... Mar 02 17:43:47 even with the arp hardwired it is still using eth0 somehow. that's a mystery! Mar 02 17:44:08 NAiL - so get back to me with your setup. i'd be happy to do some testing with it. Mar 02 17:46:00 I basically just do "ifconfig wlan0 up; iwconfig wlan0 essid ; iwconfig wlan0 enc ; iwconfig wlan0 managed; dhclient wlan0" Mar 02 17:46:16 I've had problems using some dhcp-clients Mar 02 17:47:09 VoodooZ: btw, you can do "monotone update -ra67386ccbaf4538441ab5d8769e018207ab0c744" Mar 02 17:47:18 That'll update to a non-broken revision Mar 02 17:47:22 (I think) Mar 02 17:48:52 NAiL: that's pretty much what i did. i do see tx and rx packets via ifconfig. Mar 02 17:49:16 maybe i need to wait 300s for the arp cache on the AP to clear... Mar 02 18:03:35 VoodooZ: To quote koen: "The evil heads are gone" Mar 02 18:22:05 NAiL, Does that mean I don't need to do the aforementionned update mt command? Mar 02 18:24:07 using the makefile should be just fine noe Mar 02 18:24:10 s/noe/now/ Mar 02 18:24:10 NAiL meant: using the makefile should be just fine now Mar 02 18:24:50 ok. Mar 02 18:24:52 thanks. Mar 02 18:25:02 yep. works Mar 02 18:25:45 philpem: the monotone problem you had is fixed. make update will fix the issue Mar 02 18:27:09 NAiL: thanks Mar 02 18:28:26 this is a pain.. my laptop's still compiling gcc-cross, and the ppp-synctty module hasn't turned up on ipkg yet :-/ Mar 02 18:30:33 It has been compiled, and should be pushed to the feed in a while Mar 02 18:31:54 The rebuilding process buils all stable feeds then pushes them Mar 02 18:31:58 right now, it's four feeds Mar 02 18:36:04 ok Mar 02 18:56:56 philpem: ipkg update && ipkg install kernel-module-ppp-synctty Mar 02 19:06:11 got it, thanks Mar 02 19:06:32 philpem: you're the one porting the dsl stuff? Mar 02 19:11:46 NAiL: was. Mar 02 19:12:07 i'm running debian on the slug, i couldn't figure out how to port eciadsl over to openslug. Mar 02 19:12:20 which was a shame, 'cos i really liked openslug. debian is a total pain in the ass IME. Mar 02 19:12:48 hmm Mar 02 19:13:07 I'm running both Mar 02 19:14:42 if someone can point me to a page that shows how to port something over (i.e. compile it and turn it into an ipkg for the slug) then i'd be happy to port eciadsl over to openslug Mar 02 19:14:47 what's eciadsl like? source tarball? It shouldn't be too hard to port to OE Mar 02 19:15:01 VoodooZ: yep, source tarball and a couple of firmware files Mar 02 19:15:15 any kernel modules? Mar 02 19:15:21 or just userspace stuff? Mar 02 19:15:21 eciadsl.flashtux.org/index.php?lang=en Mar 02 19:15:26 completely usermode Mar 02 19:15:32 http://eciadsl.flashtux.org/index.php?lang=en Mar 02 19:15:38 There's lots of packages available. Just copy one and modify it. Mar 02 19:15:58 i would if i could get the crosscompiling stuff working! Mar 02 19:16:25 There should be lots of instruction on the wiki on how to get started. Mar 02 19:16:39 It's as simple downloading a file and typing make. Mar 02 19:16:44 I have a kernel module that needs a couple of firmware files how do I make the ship? Mar 02 19:17:06 VoodooZ: you're referring to the "master makefile" i take it? Mar 02 19:17:11 yep. Mar 02 19:17:30 i grabbed the openslug 2.7-beta source package and ran a make on that. Mar 02 19:17:33 it does everything almost. It used to be much harder believe me. Mar 02 19:18:10 it's up to glibc now. maybe i should have rebooted this box (my athlon64) into fc4 and built it there instead of trying to build it on a 700MHz celeron laptop... Mar 02 19:18:22 the trick woudl be to create a package to the openembedded/packages/ structure. Mar 02 19:18:34 glibc takes a while... Mar 02 19:22:23 i thought gcc was slow Mar 02 19:23:50 at least Arno's iptables script tells you which iptables module you've forgotten to install.. as long as you remember to install kernel-modules-ip-tables first that is :) Mar 02 19:32:24 lovely. a million and one "no chain/target/match by that name" errors Mar 02 20:21:51 <[g2]> philpem what don't ou like about debianslug ? Mar 02 20:22:03 <[g2]> s/ou/you/ Mar 02 20:22:04 [g2] meant: philpem what don't you like about debianslug ? Mar 02 20:35:49 g2: i've never had much luck with debian (and debian-based distros in general) Mar 02 20:36:24 <[g2]> ok Mar 02 20:37:55 let's not tell openslug is debian based as well ;) Mar 02 20:38:19 heh, i noticed Mar 02 20:38:37 openslug doesn't seem too bad, it's the fullblown debianslug that's causing trouble Mar 02 20:41:13 * philpem reinstalls the PPP modules and ECIADSL for the Nth time Mar 02 21:02:07 Well, I've figured out what's up with eciadsl. Mar 02 21:02:14 It wants *another* module - n_hdlc :-/ Mar 02 21:16:12 NAiL: what files need changing to get the master makefile to build additional kernel modules and package them after it's done? Mar 02 22:33:12 hi, am wondering if anyone can help me with hotplug and openslug? Mar 02 22:33:47 i have set up hotplug to mount a harddrive when it is plugged in to usb Mar 02 22:34:07 using the following "script" in usb.hotplug Mar 02 22:34:50 #!/bin/sh Mar 02 22:35:01 mount /dev/sdb1 /hd Mar 02 22:35:20 the file has been chmod'ed to 0775 Mar 02 22:35:56 but the drive does not mount when it is turned on. however if i type ./usb.hotplug it mounts correctly. Mar 02 22:36:04 can anyone tell me what i have done wrong? Mar 02 22:36:08 many thanks Mar 02 22:38:55 where exactly did you put that script? /etc/hotplug/ ? Mar 02 22:39:44 it is placed in /etc/hotplug.d/usb/ Mar 02 22:41:14 anything in /var/log/messages or /var/log/debug? Mar 02 22:43:55 nothing to do with the usb mounting Mar 02 22:44:11 it doesent look like it is running the script Mar 02 22:48:56 is hotplug actually running? Mar 02 22:49:14 how do i get it to run? Mar 02 22:49:40 i followed the "how to" on here Mar 02 22:49:41 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/OpenSlug/Hotplug Mar 02 22:50:36 - /etc/init.d/hotplug status Mar 02 22:50:50 (without the first -) Mar 02 22:51:12 -sh: /etc/init.d/hotplug: not found Mar 02 22:51:15 thats what i get Mar 02 22:51:28 but if i type hotplug i dont get any errors Mar 02 22:51:28 hotplug isn't running then :) Mar 02 22:51:37 hotplug Mar 02 22:51:44 wrong window Mar 02 22:51:48 :O Mar 02 22:52:10 right. typing 'hotplug' at a rootshell will just run the default hotplug script Mar 02 22:52:27 ok, so how do i get it to run all the time then Mar 02 22:52:35 i presume its a bit like a crontab Mar 02 22:57:54 ok, try commenting out the mount line in /etc/hotplug/usb/usb.hotplug and adding this: Mar 02 22:58:02 set > /tmp/usbplug Mar 02 22:58:18 save it to disk, then plug/unplug a usb device and do an "ls /tmp" Mar 02 23:00:36 right, i now get this Mar 02 23:00:37 root@NSLU2:/var/tmp# ls Mar 02 23:00:37 ipkg-CgJ8QE ipkg-ucI1XT ipkg.09k9WQ ipkg.zHCOzj temp.txt usbplug Mar 02 23:00:48 ignore it all apart from the usbplug Mar 02 23:00:48 ok, so the script is running Mar 02 23:01:23 ok, so i take it i have the mount command done incorectly then Mar 02 23:01:35 the problem is with that mount statement. you need to tell the system where mount actually is, because (as far as hotplug is concerned) there's no PATH set up. Mar 02 23:01:57 but when i type ./usb.hotplug it runs fine Mar 02 23:02:04 or is this just coincidence? Mar 02 23:02:06 that's because you're running it from a shell. Mar 02 23:02:19 the shell has a PATH set up, so the shellscript inherits it from the shell. Mar 02 23:02:36 ah. so the command needs to be something like /sbin/mount ......... Mar 02 23:02:45 what you need to do is get rid of the "set" line i told you to add, delete /tmp/usbplug, then uncomment your "mount" line and put "/bin/" in front Mar 02 23:03:04 ah, brilliant. Mar 02 23:03:05 so it looks like "/bin/mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usbthing" Mar 02 23:03:06 let me just try it Mar 03 00:35:19 wow, that was easy. just had to mod the kernel config file, bb -c openslug-kernel, then make image. now i've got the hdlc modules :) Mar 03 08:35:13 Is anyone here that could answer a question about creating a bb file Mar 03 08:42:50 mproctor_home: try #oe :) Mar 03 08:52:02 I've just made a .bb for eciadsl. How would I go about getting it included in the 'official' openslug feed? Mar 03 08:52:59 send it to the mailinglist or bug eFfeM-log & nail Mar 03 08:53:50 ok. it also needs n_hdlc support in the kernel - guess i need to bug nail about that too? **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Mar 03 10:59:57 2006
