[14:57:09] <steerpike> rkdavis
[14:58:18] <rkdavis> managed to get an sd card
[14:58:23] <steerpike> cool :D
[14:58:28] <rkdavis> mini sd cards are impossible to find
[14:58:40] <rkdavis> had to get a sandisk set micro to mini to normal adapter
[14:58:42] <steerpike> yeah, i got mine from overstock.. only 1gb, oh well
[14:58:48] <rkdavis> but when i start z2shell it sits at demonize for at last check 15 mins
[14:58:57] <steerpike> rkdavis: that's because of udhcpc
[14:59:01] <rkdavis> of course the first time i got the wpa_supplcant.conf mucked up
[14:59:04] <steerpike> comment it out in the z2shell.sh file
[14:59:06] <rkdavis> not sure i have it right now
[14:59:26] <rkdavis> ok so comment out the udhcpc
[14:59:30] <steerpike> rkdavis: would you like my version?
[14:59:35] <rkdavis> yes please
[14:59:36] <steerpike> it comes with wireless-tools
[14:59:39] <rkdavis> ooo :)
[14:59:55] <steerpike> http://echelon.net.ru/z2_shell_v2a.tar.gz
[15:01:57] <rkdavis> thnx
[15:02:00] <steerpike> np
[15:02:13] <rkdavis> good job the battery cover comes off the zipit so easily
[15:02:21] <steerpike> yeah i know :\
[15:02:23] <rkdavis> only way to turn it off from the demonize
[15:02:46] <steerpike> i think i left some example configurations in wpa_supplicant.conf
[15:02:53] <rkdavis> ok thnx
[15:03:00] <rkdavis> i'm just cleaning the old off it so i can put yours on
[15:04:35] <steerpike> tsk, they had bids for $0.01 2gb mini sd cards with free shipping on ebay :\
[15:04:40] <rkdavis> damn
[15:04:43] <steerpike> from now on, i'm going to check everything on ebay first
[15:04:53] <rkdavis> yeah
[15:05:02] <rkdavis> i hit rs,staples officemax
[15:06:53] <rkdavis> nada
[15:07:29] <rkdavis> ok generating the host key
[15:07:51] <rkdavis> rsa host key now
[15:07:58] <rkdavis> yay prompt
[15:08:02] <steerpike> :D
[15:08:15] <rkdavis> lets see if i have wifi :)
[15:08:22] <steerpike> it's eth0
[15:09:20] <rkdavis> ugh how to get 0
[15:09:28] <rkdavis> ah got it
[15:11:47] <rkdavis> hmmm no connection on my ap
[15:12:06] <steerpike> after association is successful, you need to run udhcpc -i eth0
[15:12:32] <steerpike> but make sure it's associated by checking iwconfig, and that it shows the AP's mac addr
[15:12:44] <rkdavis> no such device
[15:12:44] <steerpike> if udhcpc times out, you can ctrl + c (ctrl is the red x key)
[15:12:57] <steerpike> eh
[15:13:01] <rkdavis> oh i see
[15:13:09] <rkdavis> i triple0'ed
[15:13:27] <rkdavis> the alt on the ... key?
[15:13:59] <rkdavis> red x key?
[15:14:08] <rkdavis> blind can't see it
[15:17:44] <steerpike> it's the "..."
[15:17:45] <steerpike> key
[15:18:00] <steerpike> you have to use alt + "..." to get ctrl
[15:18:12] <steerpike> i don't think ctrl + c is enough for udhcpc, it's a bit stubborn
[15:18:15] <rkdavis> hmmm not gertting ctrl-c on that
[15:18:18] <steerpike> try alt + "..." + z
[15:18:28] <rkdavis> getting ^[^[^B
[15:18:33] <rkdavis> yup
[15:18:39] <rkdavis> that did it
[15:18:54] <steerpike> oh.. "..." _is_ ctrl
[15:18:59] <steerpike> nevermind the alt ^_^
[15:19:02] <rkdavis> heh
[15:19:06] <rkdavis> hmmm nowt
[15:19:12] <rkdavis> just discover
[15:19:21] <steerpike> hmm.. not sure, is the card associated?
[15:19:21] <rkdavis> maybe i should try an open ap
[15:19:44] <rkdavis> hmmmm looks like probably not
[15:19:58] <rkdavis> never done wifi in linux so this is a learning experience for me
[15:21:40] <steerpike> if `iwconfig eth0`, "Access Point:" shows "Not-Associated" then it didn't work
[15:21:46] <steerpike> oh
[15:21:48] <rkdavis> yup
[15:22:04] <steerpike> doesn't seem to be working for me either for some reason
[15:22:05] <rkdavis> hard to read need to jump a strength in reading glasses
[15:22:12] <steerpike> try `iwlist wlan0 scan`
[15:22:17] <rkdavis> brb need to put ham into the oven
[15:22:20] <steerpike> ok
[15:22:39] <rkdavis> wlan0 doesn't support scanning
[15:22:44] <steerpike> oops, i keep forgetting
[15:22:45] <steerpike> it's eth0
[15:22:46] <steerpike> not wlan0 :\
[15:22:46] <rkdavis> heh
[15:23:03] <rkdavis> no scan results
[15:23:06] <rkdavis> brb
[15:23:07] <steerpike> ok
[15:23:32] <steerpike> you can use the up arrow key (the one next to ALT key) + "prev" / "next" to scroll up/down
[15:29:20] <rkdavis> i was using the joypad
[15:29:34] <rkdavis> should probably start with an open ap
[15:29:42] <rkdavis> i.e. my neighbours
[15:32:47] <steerpike> heh
[15:33:29] <rkdavis> network={ ssid="" key_mgmt=NONE priority=2 }
[15:33:39] <rkdavis> that should work for a linksys isp shouldn't it?
[15:36:58] <steerpike> yeah
[15:37:23] <steerpike> ssid i blank?
[15:37:40] <rkdavis> oopsy nope linksys
[15:37:48] <rkdavis> i was cutting from http://www.vollink.com/gary/deb_wifi.html
