I'm currently uploading a new lfssystem, which seems to behave much better.
Give this one a try.

Did you ever get this card working under Linux? I mean not Devil-Linux in that 
case. Is there probably some special driver for such a card which needs to be 
loaded?

The devices should be created automatically via devfs.
Did you load the module for the card ? Is the card supported by the 
vanilla kernel?

[Devil-linux-develop] Multi port card configuration

[Serge L. <se...@nn...>]

Dear Sirs.

I'm going to use multi serial port card (NetMos Nm9845CV) on DL 1.2.

There are only 2 serial ports in the system

I try  to create and configure the parameters for ttyS2-ttyS7

I do the following:

But these ports don't work.
So, what do I wrong?
How can I add needed devices into distributive (I think creating /dev/ttySx
by every boot is not "right" idea...)?

Thank you an advance.

Summary: include the bluez bluetooth stack

Initial Comment:
Hello Heiko,

i wonder if it would be possible to include the bluez
bluetooth stack 
(http://www.bluez.org/) in a future release of Devil
Linux. 

It would make it possible to make a bluetooth
accesspoint with the firewall. 
The new 100m bluetooth USB dongles cover a few rooms
with bluetooth, handy 
with some PDA's.

Thank you,

Peter de Zoeten

[Devil-linux-develop] Missing lcd4linux init script

[Zsiros Z. <zs...@ma...>]

Hi Developers,

Yesterday I booted the new 1.2rc1 cd and I found that lcd4linux init
script and rc.x links are missing.
I can find the init script in cvs
(devil-linux/build/scripts/scripts/lcd4linux) but
not on the booted system.
In this init file the Default-Start and Default-Stop parameters are
empty. Can it cause the whole problem?
There are some other init scripts on the cd with empty Default-Start and
Default-Stop parameters but they have links in rc.x directories.
For example: dnsmasq, ez-ipupdate, gpm, etc

Independently of this problem I attach a little patch of this init
script. This patch check the necessity of ppdev kernel module and load
the module if it isn't loaded yet.

Bye,
Zsolt

So the new build system doesn't work with an 2.4 host system anymore....
It's most likely the glibc, I recall now that they specified Kernel 2.6 as

wpa_supplicant & friends aren't need for normal operation, but... who
defines normal? :)

if you use hostap, you should copy the drivers from hostap-drivers-0.2.4
to the pcmcia-cs package, then compile. hostap enables firmware
uploading in a very safe way (does version&compatibility checkings)

if you use linux-wlan-ng, disable the kernel module version. somewhere
in time, it provided prism2dl, that updates the firmware but can kill
your wireless card if you choose the wrong firmware version.

don't use both at the same time. this is important. there are cards
supported with both packages, and wont work like you want if you have
two modules at the same time loaded.

firmware upgrade is useful because you can make your board act as an AP,
enable WDSS and a lot of more advanced stuff (bugfixing, for example).

if you're using a motherboard with problems on the APIC (and then the
information from irq lines is wrong/missing), you probably couldn't use
pcmcia-cs, and should stick to the in-kernel pcmcia support. then hostap
is not an option for you, and you should use linux-wlan-ng (my case).
this is because hostap can't be used with newer kernels (>2.4.24).

I actually had this on my list, but there's some more work to be done. 
The are new components for hostap (like wpa_supplicant, or whatever the 
name was).
I won't be able to do much until end of next week, because I'm traveling.
Just offer Bruce beer and he will do (almost) everything for you. ;-)

Hmmm
Actually we should be save to disable it, because only the modules we 
provide are on the CD.

If nobody complains, I would disable it for now in the 2.4 kernel.

new version is working, but this should be disabled:

 [ ]   Set version information on all module symbols
 
shall we do this, or shall we use in-kernel pcmcia support, or shall we wait? :)

could someone upload:

ftp://ftp.linux-wlan.org/pub/linux-wlan-ng/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1pre21.tar.bz2

(currently we're using pre16, and it's quite old).

[Devil-linux-develop] Some remarks - 1.2 CVS branch

[Serge L. <se...@nn...>]

Dear Heiko,

I've just cvs'ed (rel-1-2-patches ) and compiled it.
There are some (minor) remarks:

- in exec-shield-2.4.25-G9.bz2
(lfssystem/build/src/exec-shield-2.4.25-G9.bz2):
> +++ linux/Makefile
> @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@
>  VERSION = 2

>  SUBLEVEL = 25

> +EXTRAVERSION = -exec-shield
for current version of kernel "SUBLEVEL" must be "27", else the diff
reject produced.

 - the man for shfs ( shfsmount.8  shfsumount.8 ) is missing in
/usr/share/man/man8

- broken link: /usr/share/man/man7/Modes of DES.7
- broken, but restorable links:

Thank you, Heiko, for excellent job!

[Devil-linux-develop] latest changes to 1.3

[Heiko Z. <he...@zu...>]

Hey,

I just checked into CVS all my latest changes to get Kernel 2.6.(8.1) 
support working.
A few things still don't work, but most of the problems seem solved.

I will be out of town all next week, so it would be great if you guys 
could test it and try to fix some of the problems.

You will also need a new lfssystem, I uploaded it to the ftp server.

The main differences are now:
Kernel 2.6.8.1
Glibc 2.3.4-CVS
GCC 3.4.2
Binutils 2.15.91.0.2

Any many other program updates.

GRSecurity, PAX and SSP don't work yet.
SSP shouldn't be to bad to fix, but the other 2 or missing the patches 
for the new Kernel.

My FTP Upload is not finished yet, so wait at least 1-2 hours from the 
time I sent this email.
