04:55.40sorphinyes
05:06.42THelispeaking of which.. got any clue on firmware for cisco 350's ?
05:06.57THelithe access point and bridge hardware are same expect the firmware is different
05:07.21sorphinnod
05:07.35sorphinwell, looking at this source
05:07.43sorphinit's a bone stock broadcom MIPS kit
05:08.42THelihehe i c
05:08.52THeliwhich OS do they use?
05:09.33sorphinlinux
05:11.05THeliheh ok.. those cisco suckers run vxworks
05:12.43*** join/#elinux hufnus (~slonsiki@m073936d0.tmodns.net)
05:12.44cdmwell, are you sure they aren't running IOS?
05:12.48THelia few days ago, i was looking for the firmwares to convert some cisco AP's to bridges but couldn't find any...
05:13.00THelicdm, IOS is the newer cisco box'es
05:13.16THelithe ones i have here are kinda old... 4-5 years old prolly
05:13.23cdmIOS is 20 years old man.
05:13.34cdmthe new OS Cisco is using is based on QNX.
05:13.36cdmIOX
05:13.47sorphinewww QNX *grin*
05:13.48THelihmm.. may be i'm confused :/
05:13.54cdmfor the HFR terrabit router.
05:13.57THelivxworks is on my AP's for sure though
05:14.06cdmIOS is a VxWorks 'fork' for years ago.
05:14.13cdmfrom years ago I mean.
05:14.14THeliaah!
05:14.22sorphinno wonder IOS blows ;)
05:14.27THelihey!!
05:14.29THelihehe
05:15.16cdmyeah, vxworks sucks.
05:15.24THelii like vxworks...
05:15.37THelicdm, ur the one who worked at QNX right?
05:15.52THelii had a discussion on QNX a few months ago with someone here
05:16.33cdmyeah, I used to work at QNX.
05:16.58sorphinyeah, he was a QNX monkey
05:17.09THelihehe ok :)
05:17.19sorphinnow he's an apple monkey ;)

14:42.57prpplagueCosmicPenguin: i guess i can understand that they were under the gun, but darn if its a crappy job
14:43.34sorphinprpplague: atleast go back and clean it up later? heh
14:43.40prpplagueCosmicPenguin: i've got to upgrade a kernel on a legacy device, _today_
14:44.08prpplaguesorphin: there was no later, they were sold and sharp broke off dealings with them
14:45.01sorphindoh
14:45.15sorphinnevermind then
14:46.23prpplaguesorphin: after all the new owners were their compitition
14:47.10sorphinwho was it?
14:49.11prpplaguelineo->metrowerks
14:49.49prpplaguemetrowerks->motorola
14:49.56sorphinah yeah
14:49.58sorphinthat
14:51.25prpplaguesorphin: that really set sharp back big time on their linux support
14:51.59CosmicPenguinlike so badly, they didn't recover
14:52.23prpplagueCosmicPenguin: yea pretty much
14:52.50prpplagueCosmicPenguin: their arm9 processors have been out for atleast 18 months, and they have yet to release full support under linux for them
14:53.12prpplagueCosmicPenguin: currently there is no 2.6 support for the lh7952x series
14:53.35prpplagueCosmicPenguin: and what little 2.4 support there is, is hard to find and broken
14:54.16prpplagueCosmicPenguin: whats funny is, that sharp likes to work with the little folk, sell chips in qtys less than 100k
14:54.25prpplagueCosmicPenguin: but has shitty linux support
14:54.30prpplagueCosmicPenguin: samsung on the other hand
14:54.45prpplagueCosmicPenguin: has great linux support, but won;t sell to you unless you purchase 100k+
14:56.02CosmicPenguinyeah, well
14:56.06CosmicPenguinsomebody has to pay for all those penguins
14:56.34prpplagueCosmicPenguin: ??
14:56.41prpplagueCosmicPenguin: i don't follow
14:57.21CosmicPenguinprpplague: linux development has a horrible ROI
14:57.48CosmicPenguinso the high quantities ensure more margin to pay for the engineers

16:44.18THelithanks guys
16:44.24prpplagueCosmicPenguin: thats something i love about nix, there is always a million ways to do something
16:44.33THeliCosmicPenguin, do u see any prob with plague's method?
16:44.57THeliheh.. his command is simpler to type ;)
16:45.03prpplagueTHeli: that syntax isn't supported on all nix's
16:45.17THeliprpplague, ah ok..
16:45.18prpplagueTHeli: as long as you are using linux should be ok
16:45.24THeliok gotcha
16:45.56THeliprpplague, why would setserial's manual talk about spd_vhi if they can't do it
16:46.06THeliprpplague, is that something else they are referring to?
16:46.20prpplagueTHeli: thats part of the core of the uart, such as the clock divisor
16:46.38CosmicPenguinTHeli: nope - either way is ok
16:46.42prpplagueTHeli: thats more dealing with the low level of the uart
16:46.45THelii c.. but i was thinking stty also changed the core of uart's timing
16:46.55prpplagueTHeli: basically allowing you to set or correct values
16:47.02prpplagueTHeli: not really for baud rate
16:47.05THeliCosmicPenguin, actually thats what was weird.. setserial doesnt' work here.. though ur stty methods both worked
16:47.17THeliprpplague, i c.. cool thanks
16:47.22CosmicPenguinI don't think setserial was ever expected to work
16:47.57THeliyea, i also see messages on dmesg sayings its deprecated
16:47.58THeliheh
16:50.29CosmicPenguinstty is correct, because it manipulate the tty, and then that propagates down to the individual drivers
17:01.48CosmicPenguinMeeting time
17:09.30prpplaguegood lord this is a mess
17:10.03prpplaguethis guy used a 2.4.17 kernel, and then copied the 2.4.18 mtd dir into the 2.4.17 kernel
17:10.03sorphinprpplague: sure it wasn't written by abcs then? ;)

17:14.26pb_hi sorphin
17:15.02sorphinpb_: you well?
17:15.47prpplaguepb_: hey hey
17:16.45sorphinoh, brainlock here
17:16.49sorphinyou have a flash chip
17:16.50prpplaguepb_: thats a pretty lame way of doing things though
17:16.53sorphin1Mx16
17:16.59prpplaguepb_: makes it difficult to recreate
17:17.34sorphin1 meg * 16 / 8 = size in bytes ?
17:17.39pb_sorphin: yeah, not too bad
17:17.51pb_prpplague: yah
17:17.51prpplaguepb_: he really should have used a snapshot or a cvs date
17:26.30MonMothaCosmicPenguin: I am here now
17:28.07MonMothawhich question?
17:28.26sorphinyou have a flash chip

17:28.31sorphin1 meg * 16 / 8 = size in bytes ?
17:28.33sorphin?
17:28.40MonMothacorrect

17:29.23sorphintnx
17:55.47CosmicPenguinMonMotha: is there any technical reason why you put the config for your firewall script in the script itself, and didn't source a seperate config file?
17:56.54MonMothaCosmicPenguin: not really
17:57.06MonMothamostly so that I could have users download a single file rather than an arcive
17:57.12MonMotha*archive
17:57.16CosmicPenguinMonMotha: right
17:57.24MonMothain fact, one of the first mods to my script was to make it source an external config file :)
17:57.48CosmicPenguinMonMotha: I did some mods last night and did a system.conf and a policy.conf
17:57.58MonMothafair enough
17:58.00CosmicPenguinwherein system.conf would be the platform specific stuff (devices, etc)
17:58.13CosmicPenguinand policy.conf would be the actual policy
17:58.25CosmicPenguinEventually, I would like to write a thttpd CGI script to manipulate it
17:58.37CosmicPenguinBut one thing at a time - anyway, thanks for the script, I dig it
18:21.55prpplaguepb_: ping
18:22.16pb_prpplague: yo
18:23.09prpplaguepb_: hey in the readme for wpa_supplicate it say it needs wireless extension v15 or better, are they refering to actual wireless extensions or just to the wireless tools ?
18:23.42pb_prpplague: the actual extensions in the kernel
18:24.24prpplaguepb_: hmm, where do i locate the version number for that?
18:25.15pb_<linux/wireless.h>
18:25.39prpplagueahh thanks

18:26.10prpplaguev12
18:28.08pb_doh
18:28.09pb_you lose
18:28.23prpplaguei guess you can;t upgrade those, correct?
18:28.41pb_what kernel version do you have?
18:28.50pb_as long as it's later than about 2.4.18, you should be able to apply a patch
18:29.08prpplague2.4.17
18:29.10prpplaguehehe
18:29.16pb_heh
18:29.21pb_you might still be in luck
18:29.34prpplaguegot a url?
18:30.10pb_http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html
18:30.17pb_about halfway down the page
18:31.30prpplaguepb_: odd, i was already on that page, but i don't see anything about extensions, just tools
18:31.47pb_prpplague: read further down
18:31.59pb_or search for the place where it says "Wireless Extensions patches (for kernel and drivers)" in big letters

19:16.24prpplagueCosmicPenguin: i'm not using module versions in the kernel for wpa_supplicant is still looking for modversions.h
19:18.37CosmicPenguinIts possible that wpa_supplicant doesn't know enough to look at your config and use the right options

19:35.00prpplagueCosmicPenguin: the 2.4.17 list.h doesn't have that macro
19:35.27prpplagueCosmicPenguin: so if i just do a list_del(list) and then a list_add(list, head) , that should work properly right?

22:26.01sorphin?
22:26.03sorphin:)
22:26.06CosmicPenguinflash chip?
22:26.09sorphini know it's 2M
22:26.15sorphinbut i don't know the breakdown
22:26.17sorphinyes
22:26.22sorphinand of course they have no info now
22:27.00CosmicPenguinSorry - I need the datasheets near by for my own flash chips
22:27.13CosmicPenguinAre the Intel chips used on anything common?
22:28.58sorphinright now it's in my access point
22:29.27CosmicPenguinAnything linux has been ported to - you can use the MTD drivers for a semi-reference
22:30.05CosmicPenguinUnless thats what you are trying to do.. :)
22:30.17sorphinCosmicPenguin: yeah.. the prob is, i'm trying to match up flash to replace a chip w/ a bigger one
22:30.36CosmicPenguinheh - so you need the pinout then
22:30.37CosmicPenguinsorry
22:30.42sorphinyeah
22:30.44sorphin:/
22:31.11sorphinleast i can look at the jedec specs for the dram matching :)
22:31.25sorphinprob is all the dram chips i have are 8Mx8 not 4Mx16
22:31.27sorphin:(
22:32.58CosmicPenguinhmmm... you could pay 10 bucks to these guys to see the datasheet
22:33.04CosmicPenguinhttp://www.partminer.com/pagedetail/5548/9
22:34.11CosmicPenguinHow stupid is that?
22:34.31sorphinheh
22:34.54sorphini found this site, it's handy for matching dram part #'s to size
22:36.31sorphinCosmicPenguin: http://www.chipmunk.nl/DRAM/ChipManufacturers.htm
22:37.14sorphinwoowoo
22:37.20sorphinfound a 4Mx16
22:37.41CosmicPenguinnice
22:38.08sorphinyou mean the page?
22:38.09sorphinyeah
22:38.41sorphinwell, that means this IOpener gets the 64M sodimm since i'm stealing it's 32M
22:38.46sorphinfor it's chips
22:39.09sorphinand since it's a x16, the jedec spec matches it w/ what's in the AP
22:39.12sorphinnow back to the flash
22:51.35sorphinwell, got pinout for the AP's flash now
22:51.48sorphinnow the prob is finding bigger than another damn 2M flash
