Comment on SL-C3000 by Matt Houston

Hello and please help me.

In my moment of madness I decided to install pdaXrom and bricked my 3100.

I can't even restore the NAND from the D+M power-on.

Please help me get out of this mess and back on track with OZ.

Thank you.

Has anyone else run into this situation:

From altboot select normal boot (1), stop opie from loading, and ssh'ing into collie works fine.

From altboot select boot from sd (3), from second altboot select normal boot (1), stop opie from loading, and ssh'ing into collie gives "Connection refused"

This is starting from a clean flash, followed by a clean root-on-sd installation of the opie rootfs.tar.gz loopimage from "Ewi in the Netherlands" site, ssh'ing over usb networking.

How does one fix this problem?

Thanks,

Hunter

For any others with the Sandisk Connect Plus card, DO NOT FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS at:

http://ozwiki.stuvel.eu/HowTos/SanDisk_ConnectPlus_wi-fi_with_collie

When previous posts say that the Connect Plus works out of the box with 3.5.4, they mean it.

Flash to 3.5.4 Shutdown Stick in card Reboot into Opie Configure card (from popup)

If you run "ifconfig -a" from the console it shows wlan0! Now, if anyone can tell me the equivalent location of:

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts (FC5)

on OZ 3.5.4, I'd be grateful. I just need to set up the essid and key automatically, and I rather not hack it in someplace.

Sincerely,

Hunter

I’m having difficulty with my Sandisk Connect Plus card. I followed the HowTo at:

http://ozwiki.stuvel.eu/HowTos/SanDisk_ConnectPlus_wi-fi_with_collie

and am stuck at “voila”. A message pops up entitled “Configure PCMCIA/CF Card”, but I don’t know what to select for the “Bind to:” field; nothing seems to work. If you’ve gotten the Connect Plus to work with your SL-5500/Opie/3.5.4, please tell me how!

Thanks,

Hunter

Do you have a timeframe for releasing GPE and OPIE images for the collie?

I should note that the OE people have started kicking back bugs and saying “consult your OpenZaurus distribution developers.” Apparently they don’t want application bugs submitted to them.
