[00:39:49] *** unrest has joined #zipit
[00:40:48] <unrest> mornin'
[00:57:50] *** CYoda has quit IRC
[01:22:24] <unrest> what's [ESC] on the z2?
[01:22:28] * unrest sticks in vi.. :/
[01:26:35] <Limp_Trizkit> escape is the smiley button
[01:26:48] <Limp_Trizkit> ctrl is the ellipsis (...)
[01:26:49] <Limp_Trizkit> alt is alt
[01:26:50] <unrest> really?
[01:26:53] <Limp_Trizkit> yes
[01:27:06] <unrest> and tab's the zipit button
[01:27:06] <Limp_Trizkit> prev/next are page up/down
[01:27:07] <unrest> thanks
[01:27:12] <Limp_Trizkit> yeah
[01:27:20] <unrest> yay!
[01:27:26] <Limp_Trizkit> that'll save you mashing the keypad in vi like i did
[01:27:28] <Limp_Trizkit> >.>
[01:27:33] <unrest> hehe
[01:27:38] <unrest> do you use OE?
[01:27:42] <Limp_Trizkit> yeah
[01:27:48] <Limp_Trizkit> actually just got the zipit yesterday
[01:27:49] <unrest> your wireless works, right?
[01:27:52] <Limp_Trizkit> yeah
[01:27:54] <Limp_Trizkit> no problems
[01:27:55] <unrest> fuck
[01:28:29] <unrest> i can't setthe essid for the ap to connect to without getting told, that this wireless request failed and "connection refused"...
[01:28:55] <Limp_Trizkit> hmm
[01:28:58] <Limp_Trizkit> interesting
[01:29:06] <Limp_Trizkit> is the network wep/wpa'd?
[01:29:11] <unrest> wep
[01:29:22] <unrest> doesn't work on a OPN AP either..
[01:29:24] <Limp_Trizkit> and you're using wpa_supp as you should?
[01:29:56] <unrest> not in this image.. i tried one image with wpa_supplicant yesterday and it didn't work either
[01:30:19] <Limp_Trizkit> *shrug*
[01:30:24] <Limp_Trizkit> i haven't built it yet
[01:30:35] <Limp_Trizkit> and i haven't had to use it before, my network is open
[01:30:40] <unrest> who says wpa_supp is to be used?
[01:30:40] <Limp_Trizkit> so iwconfig for me
[01:30:47] <Limp_Trizkit> http://linux.zipitwireless.com/wiki/OpenEmbedded
[01:30:55] <Limp_Trizkit> WEP/WPA/WPA2 network: Edit /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf to match your wireless network settings, then run something like the following to test whether it works.
[01:31:04] <Limp_Trizkit> wpa_supplicant -Dwext -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -ieth0
[01:31:50] <unrest> endless loop yesterday
[01:31:55] <unrest> after running this
[01:32:45] <unrest> do you have one of those "you need to pay a monthly fee"-z2s?
[01:33:27] <Limp_Trizkit> yeah
[01:33:40] <unrest> so it's not the driver as i thought...
[01:34:11] <unrest> you thing wpa_supp will solve my problem?
[01:34:30] <Limp_Trizkit> should
[01:34:51] <unrest> think*
[01:34:52] <unrest> hmm
[01:37:31] * unrest bitbakes his base-image again with wpa supp
[01:38:51] <Limp_Trizkit> just bitbake wpa_supplicant
[01:38:58] <Limp_Trizkit> copy it with a memory card reader
[01:39:06] <Limp_Trizkit> and install from that
[01:39:38] <unrest> already doing that..

[02:23:17] * unrest tries yet again with wpa_supplicant..
[02:26:27] <unrest> "network is unreachable"
[02:26:39] <unrest> i sit 2m from it with my notebook though...
[02:27:04] <Limp_Trizkit> do you have MAC filtering on?
[02:27:06] <Limp_Trizkit> ;)
[02:27:18] <unrest> of course i do
[02:27:25] <Limp_Trizkit> ...
[02:27:30] <Limp_Trizkit> perhaps you want to add your zipit?
[02:27:31] <unrest> otherwise it'd be far more stupid to use wep
[02:27:37] <unrest> i did when i recieved it
[02:27:42] <Limp_Trizkit> alright
[02:27:50] <Limp_Trizkit> just trying to make sure all the holes are covered
[02:27:57] <Limp_Trizkit> though honestly i dont know if i can think of anything else
[02:27:58] <unrest> :)
[02:28:00] <Limp_Trizkit> i dont know enough about it
[02:33:38] *** unrest_ has joined #zipit
[02:33:52] *** unrest has quit IRC

[02:34:27] <unrest_> not funny *g*

[08:57:54] <drmikecrowe> hey Crofton, ping
[08:59:57] <Crofton> pong
[09:00:47] *** GPSFan has joined #zipit
[09:01:01] <drmikecrowe> how's it going?
[09:01:32] <GPSFan> drmikecrowe: ok, been busy with farm stuff lately..
[09:02:07] <drmikecrowe> yeah, I know that feeling. Seems like tons of stuff always comes up to derail good intentions, eh?
[09:02:39] <drmikecrowe> had to put my wife's parents into assisted living, so we've been consumed getting their stuff out, ready to sell the house, etc. been a mess
[09:02:52] <Crofton> very busy
[09:03:01] <drmikecrowe> Crofton, ever hear of anybody compiling OE on unix?
[09:03:12] <GPSFan> ooh, sorry to hear that, stuff like that's always stressful.
[09:03:17] <Crofton> heh, my sisters and I went through that with my aunt a few years bcak
[09:03:33] <Crofton> drmikecrowe, I'm not sure what you mean
[09:03:35] <drmikecrowe> truly. I think we're over the hump. it's been tough.
[09:04:05] <drmikecrowe> we had a guy in the forums indicate he was a unix guy. I don't think I've heard of people using OE, scratchbox or buildroot on unix (as a host)
[09:04:11] <drmikecrowe> just seeing if anybody else had
[09:04:54] <Crofton> OE should run on other unix's
[09:05:26] <Crofton> unix is a pretty general term
[09:05:40] <Crofton> I think there are guys doing builds on OSX
[09:05:46] <drmikecrowe> ah, good. thx!
