May 20 12:22:40 (that's why dmabounce is required) May 20 13:15:26 anybody got wpa-supplicant working under slugos? I tried different configs but still won't let me connect to my WPA2-PSK wlan... May 20 14:50:57 VoodooZ: I haven't tried it for a few months, but it regularly works for me on a slug and on a dsmg600. May 20 14:51:31 I have to go onsite with a customer today; perhaps I can help out a bit later on. May 20 15:22:28 mwester: ok. thanks. May 20 15:23:27 I know it's not my setup as my Fedora portable picks it up using networkmanager... unless it's an issue with zd1211rw driver and WPA2.. I'll try with WPA tonight.. May 20 15:30:56 VoodooZ: Here's the setup script I use to automate the testing on the NSLU2 -- it adds the right stuff to the config files to make it all work: http://pastebin.com/d51ad70ef May 20 18:15:29 rwhitby: thanks for reply on DMA window May 20 18:45:10 mwester: cool. thanks. I'll try that right away. May 20 18:45:49 'cause i've been stalling on my bot devloment for a while 'cause of this... May 20 18:46:37 It's hard to debug a mobile robot with an ethernet cable attached! You can't just step-thru the code like normal apps. May 20 21:45:56 Hi, is there any version of the unslug for x86 ? like openwrt does i mean to install on sokeris etc ? May 20 21:46:59 unslung absolutely not May 20 21:47:13 slugos could be done - openembedded can target x86 May 20 21:47:22 openwrt and debian are fine too May 20 21:47:43 what the major difference between unslug and slugos then ? May 20 21:47:56 unslung is a hack on the vendor firmware. May 20 21:48:07 slugos is a normal embedded linux distribution May 20 21:49:22 ok but they look the same ? May 20 21:49:48 no May 20 21:50:07 slugos does not have a default web interface May 20 21:50:33 but can be added ? May 20 21:51:07 Not the one from Linksys firmware, no. May 20 21:51:59 but a general one alrealy made for the slugos ? May 20 21:52:31 No. May 20 21:52:40 slugos users are normally command line users. May 20 21:53:08 you can install packages like apache and lighttpd and nginx and swat etc ... May 20 21:53:41 yeah but i mean there a package that add a kind of webui ? May 20 21:55:05 not that I know of. someone might have ported the openwrt haserl package to optware running on slugos, or maybe the webmin package May 20 21:55:42 ok May 20 21:55:52 but it can be possible to compile unslug for x86 ? right May 20 21:55:58 openwrt has a webif, and debian has webmin May 20 21:56:03 no May 20 21:56:28 unslung is a couple of small additions to binary vendor firmware May 20 21:56:33 we don't have the source code for those vendor binary applications that drive the web ui May 20 21:57:24 well linksys did released the nslu2 source right ? May 20 21:57:29 im kinda lost with all those thing May 20 21:57:36 only for the GPL parts. May 20 21:57:42 web ui was not GPL May 20 21:57:46 ah so is not complet May 20 21:58:07 haserl is already in optware package, i don't know whether any1 has attempted to port xwrt though May 20 21:58:18 it is complete from the requirements of the GPL are concerned. it is not the complete set of binaries that make up the firmware distribution image. May 20 21:58:32 optware haserl support both sh scripts and lua scripts May 20 21:58:39 the vendor binaries are "merely aggregated" (to use the legal GPL clause) with the GPL parts May 20 22:00:04 well if we use their source they provide we are not able to compile it for x86 then copy the stuff needed from an nslu2 ? May 20 22:04:02 no, nslu2 is arm May 20 22:04:48 yeah but arm is just a platform, like PPC thing from PPC can be ported to x86 May 20 22:05:16 Dsbeerf: not unless you have the source May 20 22:05:20 Dsbeerf: what is the thing that you want to port? May 20 22:05:26 ah ok May 20 22:05:33 well is there any arm emulator then lol May 20 22:05:39 eno: I believe Dsbeerf wants to see the Linksys web ui on an x86 board May 20 22:05:40 eno the unslug May 20 22:06:16 Yeah right or running something similar to unslug on a sokeris x86 board May 20 22:06:37 i'd go openwrt if i were you May 20 22:07:02 ok May 21 00:12:30 anyone know if it's possible to set up cross-platform for openwrt on non-debian (CentOS/Fedora) platforms? Same for debian-arm? May 21 00:14:11 Specifically cross-platform complier for making my own "openwrt" May 21 00:58:48 If I want to modify an existing package, can someone please tell me how to do this? The Development/Development101 wiki shows "Modifying an existing package." but no text under there! May 21 01:00:32 RobNC: what type of package? May 21 01:04:42 rwhitby: trying patch suggested for debian-arm - common-pci.c in slugos/tmp/work/nslu2be-linux/linux-ixp4xx-2.6.24.7+svnr1066-r0/linux-2.6.24/arch/arm/mach-ixp4xx per instance May 21 01:05:37 I removed common-pci.o and re-made slugosbe but no common-pci.o is generated so it sounds like I don't know enough about how to recompile with mods. May 21 01:06:53 Is there some command to "rm -rf *.o" and re-make? May 21 01:08:08 you need to rebuild the kernel May 21 01:08:11 using bitbake May 21 01:08:27 ok gotcha May 21 01:08:34 it might be easier to test it from our kernel svn repo - that's where we test new patches May 21 01:08:41 we never try to test new patches first in OE May 21 01:08:55 http://svn.nslu2-linux.org/svnroot/kernel/ May 21 01:09:27 there you can just drop it in the appropriate patches dir, update the series file, and manage it with quilt and the normal kernel build commands May 21 01:10:50 so is it merely like "svn co http://svn.nslu2-linux.org/svnroot/kernel/ kernel" May 21 01:11:27 Indeed it seems that I need to learn a bit more about quilt.
