selling my Freerunner
Hi, as I hardly ever found enough time to play around with my FR I now decided to sell it. Its the original GTA02 (bought August 2008) and comes with the default goodies: headset (unused), laser stylus, phone pouch, 512MB microSD Card, adapter, USB connectivity cable, etc. If interested, please send me an email. I would preferably sell it to somebody in Germany due to lower shipping costs. cheers, Katrin ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
FR with different WLAN modes
Hi, I had been posting before on the wifi issue. After I had problems with connecting to my WPA-secured WLAN, I managed easily (with the description as can be found in the wiki) to connect to a WPA2-secured WLAN. Then, I set my AP to WEP and authentication with wpa_supplicant worked -- once! When I ran the wpa_supplicant again I had the same problems as with WPA -- I got a "authentication timed out" error message (after rebooting: worked once, then not). So, to summarize, whereas authentication with wpa_supplicant and WPA2 seems to work fairly well, there seem to be problems with WPA and WEP. Did anybody observe similar behavior? Does anybody have an explanation? I'd really love to see my FR being able to connect to wifi easily...

You probably mean eth0 instead of usb0, right?
oh, yeah. Right :-)

Re: WLAN with WPA
Hi,
I finally managed to connect my FR via Wifi and WPA2.
The following happened: after I started this thread 2 days ago, my FR (after
rebooting) wouldn't let me connect via ssh (usb) any more -- I guess this
was the result of extensive opkg upgrades, something must have gone wrong
with the sshd. At least this is what I assume. Unfortunately, as also the
keyboard somehow got lost during the upgrade session, the only thing I could
do was flash my FR.
So I took the latest OM image as of sept, 4th (kernel as of sept, 3rd).
I then used the following extremely simple wpa_supplicant.conf:
--- snip ---
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
network={
ssid="rutabaga"
scan_ssid=1
proto=RSN
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
psk=d4a9459bf5f29c332fa56d5b2c6a8c80176f4da7647f42e2ae4309dbed4f80ec
}
-- snap ---
After that, all I did was:
wpa_supplicant -i usb0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -B
and then
udhcpc usb0
That's it -- wifi works! Great.
I cannot say whether this is now because of the new image (when I tried
before I had the original 2008.08 image of august), or because of the fact
that I am running WPA2 whereas the day before yesterday I tried WPA.
cheers,
Katrin

WLAN with WPA
Hi,
I can't manage to connect to a WPA-encrypted WLAN with my FR. I read all the
wiki-stuff, googled for it and checked most of the mailing list threads --
but all this didn't help. Hope you guys can give me a hint...
So, I use the following (simple) wpa_supplicant.conf:
--- snip ---
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
network={
ssid="red"
psk=8fa68651275b12accb0982db01cfd78cfb6f4a5d6d3b9a31735ce8aad2271be7
}
-- snap ---
It works perfectly on my laptop (Ubuntu, Hardy Heron).
However, on my FR authentification doesn't work.
This is how I run the wpa_supplicant:
wpa_supplicant -i eth0 -D wext -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
I get the following output:
- snip
ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Operation not supported
ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Operation not supported
ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Operation not supported
ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Operation not supported
CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS
Trying to associate with 00:1c:4a:a3:b4:3e (SSID='red' freq=2437 MHz)
Authentication with 00:1c:4a:a3:b4:3e timed out.
CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS
Trying to associate with 00:1c:4a:a3:b4:3e (SSID='red' freq=2437 MHz)
[repeats the last 3 lines in an endless loop]
snap ---
I also checked the debugging output of the wpa_supplicant. As I am not
familiar with wpa_supplicant its hard for me to interpret. But I saw that my
ssid got blacklisted (and after several tries got removed from the blacklist
again) -- maybe this is normal. If necessary, I might also send the
debugging output (however, as it's rather longish I skip it for the moment).
Would be great if anybody had an idea what to do here...
Katrin

upgrade vs. flashing
Hi, I am currently using OM 2008.8, kernel and rootfs are from 2008-08-08. I am wondering whether regular opkg update & upgrate does the same job as flashing my FR with the latest rootfs. So, general speaking: when should I flash a new rootfs on my FR (and loosing all the configuration stuff I already did) instead of just getting the latest package updates (and kernel updates?) with opkg update & upgrade?

FSO vs. OM2008.8
Hi, I wonder whether to use FSO or OM2008.8 on my freerunner. What are the advantages/disadvantages of these? Where are the differences?

Which distribution to use on FR?
Hi, I am new to OM and just received my new FR a couple of hours ago. I've been playing around with different distributions/images and am now wondering which distribution you guys prefer, use, and/or recommend: - OM2007.2 - ASU - FSO - Qtopia Actually, I tried all of the above ones (most recent versions/snapshots) except FSO. Only for OM2007.2, making phone calls worked out of the box. On ASU and Qtopia I couldn't make phone calls (or receive). Optically, I likes OM2007.2 best, however, it is awfully slow and constantly has a load > 2. Why is this?
