Nov 06 11:26:33 <tzanger> anyone know why I cannot edit /etc/network/interfaces?
Nov 06 11:26:46 <tzanger>  /etc is r/w, I am root and the file is 644 or 664
Nov 06 11:27:16 <NAiL> chattr -i ? ;)
Nov 06 11:29:39 <tzanger> it's not ext2
Nov 06 11:35:55 <NAiL> what kind of fs?
Nov 06 11:40:27 <tzanger> jffs2 I guess
Nov 06 11:40:29 <tzanger> internal flash
Nov 06 11:40:33 <tzanger> I think I got it
Nov 06 11:40:33 <NAiL> is the fs mounted rw?
Nov 06 11:40:53 <tzanger> had to change to static ip since if eternet isn't plugged in and dhcp is selected, it doesn't seem to ever boot
Nov 06 11:40:59 <tzanger> NAiL: yes
Nov 06 11:44:26 <tzanger> got it
Nov 06 11:44:37 <tzanger> 256k free but that's not enough for busybox vi to write a 300 byte file
Nov 06 11:46:59 <rwhitby> jffs2 needs two free erase blocks (= 256Kb)
Nov 06 11:47:11 <NAiL> ah
Nov 06 11:48:42 * rwhitby finds http://www.bitsum.com/openwiking/owbase/ow.asp?WL%2D530G and begins to add a PL2303 board to the WL530g so he can put a USB console socket on it.
Nov 06 11:49:01 <rwhitby> (all internal, on that tiny pocket router)
Nov 06 11:52:44 <rwhitby> just like I did on the wl500gx (http://www.nslu2-linux.org/gallery/wl500gx-usb-serial)
Nov 06 12:06:19 <koen> that doesn't look hard to add to OE
Nov 06 12:06:35 <koen> or port to 2.6, since the nommu stuff is being merged :)
Nov 06 13:05:50 <tzanger> hmm
Nov 06 13:06:04 <tzanger> either my gps is fucked, or gpspipe adds WAY too much delay
Nov 06 13:06:17 <tzanger> tomtom is like 5s or more behind my position
Nov 06 13:06:29 <tzanger> and I'm pretty sure it's not gpspipe messing up
Nov 06 13:07:06 <koen> tzanger: try using a higher baudrate
Nov 06 13:07:36 <tzanger> koen: I tried that
Nov 06 13:07:36 <tzanger> I don't think that's the issue, I can see what it's spitting out and it's only updating my position about once a second
Nov 06 13:07:36 <koen> usually it lags 1-2 seconds
Nov 06 13:08:25 <tzanger> at 4800 baud that should be allright
Nov 06 13:08:25 <tzanger> that and either gpsd or gpspipe is REALLY making the NSLU2 lag badly
Nov 06 13:08:30 <koen> you could try using the sirf binary protocol
Nov 06 13:08:38 <tzanger> koen: with gpsd?
Nov 06 13:08:43 <koen> yes
Nov 06 13:08:50 <koen> if your gps uses a sirf chipset
Nov 06 13:08:55 <tzanger> tomtom only knows the NMEA protocol, so spitting out the serial port will have to be NMEA
Nov 06 13:08:56 <tzanger> yeah it is
Nov 06 13:08:57 <tzanger> SirfII
Nov 06 13:09:12 <koen> gpsd can spit out nmea while reading sirf binary
Nov 06 13:09:26 <tzanger> the gpspipe program is *really* simple... basically read from the gpsd socket and write to the serial port
Nov 06 13:09:46 <tzanger> no poll/select, it just spins in read() on the gpsd socket until gpsd has something
Nov 06 13:09:53 <tzanger> koen: I'll have to give that a shot
