I am a student at the University of Arizona and work for the IT
department.  We have one of the worlds largest Cisco Radius wifi setups
in the world.  Our main wifi network uses wpa enterprise with peap
authentication and the equifax secure certificate for loging in.
Currently, we are unable to find a cell phone that will work with our
network.  None of them support wpa enterprise with peap authentication.
Is there any chance that the GTA02 will support this?



For connecting to WPA networks WPA Supplicant [1] is used. Currently it 
supports few EAP-PEAP modes:


EAP-PEAP/MSCHAPv2 (both PEAPv0 and PEAPv1)
EAP-PEAP/TLS (both PEAPv0 and PEAPv1)
EAP-PEAP/GTC (both PEAPv0 and PEAPv1)
EAP-PEAP/OTP (both PEAPv0 and PEAPv1)
EAP-PEAP/MD5-Challenge (both PEAPv0 and PEAPv1)

If you are able to connect to that network with Linux laptop then you 
should be able to connect with GTA02. 


I do not know does WiFi driver was tested with encryption yet.

1. http://hostap.epitest.fi/wpa_supplicant/

  
We have been able to connect perfectly with any distro and 
Network-Manager.  It's actually much easier to do it in Linux than in 
Windows.  The issue is that most companies don't see wpa-enterprise as a 
necessity for a cell phone.  Unfortunately our setup is become very 
popular among other college campuses and wifi capable cell phones are 
becoming more popular among college students.

As I pointed out to Mickey last week, you can't legally distribute that

* You use autotools.bbclass almost verbatin, but don't include OE's

* ipkg-utils is GPL, but there's no trace of that fact in the toolchain,

Please help me with the openmoko-devel-image build issue

2007-12-10 Thread Xie Chaohong
Hi all,
I'm not sure whether these are the proper mail loops to ask about build 
problems. If not, please tell me one.

Anyway, when try to build the openmoko-devel-image (openmoko 2007.2 version) 
according to 
Getting OpenMoko working on host with Xoo and Building OpenMoko using the 
MokoMakefile
, I encountered the following problem with uboot build (the error message is 
attached at the end).

While, it can pass the build process if theuboot-openmoko flag is deleted 
from the Makefile but it can boot up the openmoko finally in the following 
steps.




BTW: the content of my local.conf is:
--
---
MACHINE = x86
DISTRO = openmoko
BUILD_ARCH = i686
INHERIT += rm_work
TARGET_FPU =

Could anyone give me some help? Thanks a lot.

Hi Michael:

  As I mentioned in a previous email to you, I'm in a 850Mhz _only_ area - so
I can test the handset for you - though I am in Canada.  Provider is Rogers and
the area is Ottawa. Also, would there be any possibility of releasing
the changes
made to the GTA01 to make it 850Mhz compatible? Or maybe a service to
send in our GTA01 to have the modifications made (for a reasonable price)?
Thanks,

 Wifi driver:
 We're making very good progress, but it's still not finished.

 GTA02 hardware:
 Still waiting for the Wifi driver to verify the Wifi hardware, but so
 far we're feeling quite good about this part. There are a couple of
 other things to verify, and as mentioned before we will most likely make
 another revision of the board, which will hopefully be the
 production-ready revision.

2007-12-10 Thread Jonathon Suggs
Depending on the level of complexity, this could be *great* news for me.
I don't travel internationally that often (currently, but the frequency
could always up in the future) so having quad-band is borderline nice
and necessity.

But if I could make changes (before/after trips) to switch the bands,
then I might consider that a workable solution.  I'm fairly handy with a
soldering iron, so as long as it isn't too complex I'd feel comfortable
doing it.

I know that they are probably into very finalized versions of the
hardware, but it might be worth looking into how much change would be
required to ease the transition between bands.  Example, if it is just
a small number of wires that has to be changed, possibly creating a
switch to toggle between the settings.  I, for one, would consider
that a more than suitable workaround and almost nullify my no-quadband
issues.

As has been discussed earlier, this is not a change you can make yourself.

Conceivably, you could change the components yourself, if you had the 
right equipment, but there are also changes to the firmware that you can 
not make yourself.


There is no possibility of adding a switch, as a number of components 
have to be replaced.

Yes, but not the recalibration or the firmware changes.

One step at a time - let's see if these units work, and if so, we'll

As mentioned earlier, there is no chance that GTA02 will be quad-band.

There is certainly a possibility that future products will be quad-band.

Re: Community update: GSM firmware, 850MHz experiment, GTA02 progress

2007-12-10 Thread Tim Shannon
I'm curious, since these 850 variants are most likely going to be an option,
when can we expect them?  Are they going to be available at the same time as
the public offering of the GTA02, or are they going to be available way
after that?

 Hi,

 GSM Firmware update:
 We've been informed that everything legal has been agreed upon by all
 parties, and all that remains is to get everything signed. Apparently
 the process of getting things signed takes a few weeks!

 850MHz experiment:
 As mentioned before we're looking into offering an 850MHz variant of the
 triband GTA02.

 Since the GSM section is essentially the same between GTA01 and GTA02,
 we thought a good experiment would be to modify a couple GTA01 handsets
 for 850MHz and to test them out here in the USA. I just received these
 handsets on Friday and am now trying to figure out how to thoroughly
 test them. Rather than me traveling around the country, it might make
 sense to ship them to various users to test them with different
 carriers.  Please write to me if you are in an 850MHz area and are
 interested in participating.

 Wifi driver:
 We're making very good progress, but it's still not finished.

 GTA02 hardware:
 Still waiting for the Wifi driver to verify the Wifi hardware, but so
 far we're feeling quite good about this part. There are a couple of
 other things to verify, and as mentioned before we will most likely make
 another revision of the board, which will hopefully be the
 production-ready revision.

 Regards,
 Michael

Re: Community update: GSM firmware, 850MHz experiment, GTA02 progress

2007-12-10 Thread Michael Shiloh

Hello Tim,

OpenMoko does not predict when things will be ready; rather, we try to 
communicate as much as possible on what we are doing and what we hope to do.


By the way, you say ... most likely going to be an option  I'd 
like to point out that we are still evaluating the possibility of 
offering an 850MHz variant and have come to no such conclusion ourselves.


Regards,
Michael

Any chance to have a dual-SIM slot on futures products?

2007-12-10 Thread kkr
I remembered a discussion about how to use more than one SIM card in the
neo.

Until recently, I've only seen some kind of hack about it. For example,
in the battery or in a SIM card adapter (or by cloning a sim card =
illegal).

http://www.dualsim.de/
http://ucables.com/ref/SIM-CLONE



It seems that some manufacturers (Samsung and Verzio) have integrated a
dual-SIM slot in their products. And both SIMs are active at the same
time!

http://www.verzioworld.com/as/pressroom.html
http://www.mobilegazette.com/samsung-duos-d880-07x10x08.htm
snip
The Samsung DuoS gets around this by having two SIM slots in the back, 
and both SIMs are active at the same time.
...
At the moment, the Samsung DuoS / D880 has only been confirmed for
release in Russia later this month. It's a relatively expensive device 
at 18,000 rubles (around £350 or €510) before tax. Expect to have to 
pay the full price without any discount, because no carrier will want 
to subsidise a handset that another carrier will use and locking the 
device to a single network would be pointless.
snip



I'll have use of it (professional/private number with two differents
operators) and imagine that will be wished too by people which travel a
lot (in a way to reduce roaming costs).

Any chance to have it on a future product (gta-03 or 04 ;-)?

Would someone comment about how
the Linux Phone Standards Forum (LiPS)
proposed specification relates to (or not)
the OpenMoko roadmap.

Re: Please help me with the openmoko-devel-image build issue

 Hi all,
 I'm not sure whether these are the proper mail loops to ask about
 build problems. If not, please tell me one.

 Anyway, when try to build the openmoko-devel-image (openmoko 2007.2
 version) according to  Getting OpenMoko working on host with Xoo and
 Building OpenMoko using the MokoMakefile , I encountered the
 following problem with uboot build (the error message is attached at
 the end).

 While, it can pass the build process if theuboot-openmoko flag is
 deleted from the Makefile but it can boot up the openmoko finally in
 the following steps.

Hi,

I encounter the two same errors. While the first regarding uboot can be 
ignored, it seems the second comes from using dash instead bash as 
default shell. Maybe /bin/sh is a symlink to /bin/dash on your system. 
On a debian system, using sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash may help (see 
http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/OEandYourDistro).
However I can't certify this is really the cause because I didn't have 
time to rebuild one more time.

Pierre.
