Iridospsycho_oreos, I wasn't really so concerned about someone hacking the N900... (although it maybe wouldn't be too hard to find now-known vulnerabilities that haven't been patched)... two separate issues a) I wondered if I can check on my own sim-card (not having a gsm/3g carrier under my control) ... and unrelated to that b) if I can check if the eduroam wireless connection uses certificates... because eduroam takes the uni password, which is kind of like the16:20
Iridos magic wand for anything I have access to at university...16:20
*** Mike11 has joined #maemo16:20
*** ArGGu^^ has quit IRC16:22
psycho_oreosa) Not without some fancy tools (I wouldn't know what you need to even begin with, though openmoko hardware may give you some possible pointers. b) No idea, never used eduroam before so I wouldn't know.16:22
kerio~pkg16:22

*** xmlich02 has quit IRC16:22
psycho_oreosOn second thoughts, I know some local universities that I've been wandering around in, they use some sort of VPN based access.16:23
psycho_oreosN900 with a tightened firewall should be able to stop most basic 802.11 based attacks, ultimately it depends on how willing you are in wanting to secure it against 802.11 attacks.16:25
Iridosit's actually pretty canny... uses some kind of tunneling, so your local university credentials work on all other universities that have it all over the world... and some kind of tunneling only reveals your password to your home university... which then tells the remote one you're ok to join16:25
*** XATRIX has joined #maemo16:26
LjL-Alpsah damn i think i messed up my N900's wifi somehow16:26
psycho_oreosI somewhat doubt the same eduroam account would work elsewhere. It all heavily depends on their policies nonetheless. There's that and the need for accountability.16:26
IridosI said it's canny :)16:27
psycho_oreos*shrug* maybe it was a collaborated effort to begin with.16:27
kerioLjL-Alps: sudo modprobe -r wl12xx && sudo modprobe wl12xx16:27
Iridosit worked at 3 different universities (including mine) in germany so far... it didn't work at Northwestern in the US, but I think that just wasn't fully operational, they apparently only had it online for three days when I came there...16:28
psycho_oreosMaybe also stop wlancond && sleep 3 && start wlancond.16:28
Iridosas described here... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eduroam point is kinda... you're a professor or other "visiting scholar", you give a talk somewhere... you just have internet, no hassle.16:29
LjL-Alpskerio: it goes on when i do that, but it won't connect to my SSID (which is an Android hotspot in AP mode, it worked until 10 minutes ago), saying "Network connection error. Try again?". it stopped working after a reboot, and i kind of played around with stuff like MeeCoLay, which did seem to "upgrade" some system libraries... :\16:31
*** ced117 has joined #maemo16:32
keriomh, meecolay only updates qt, i believe16:32
psycho_oreosI don't think its just that, but it also allows access to target university's libraries as well.16:32
Iridosoh well... thanks for a), I feard that is so... and for b) ... well, not a too big concern here, I guess16:32
psycho_oreosa) Its inevitable, N900 itself uses portions of proprietary hardware which nobody would dare to try and tinker with. b) I actually thought there was some software that you had to use to use eduroam. If that's the case, you might be able to (in theory) look for a linux equivalent and somehow port it to maemo.16:34
psycho_oreosAlbeit a) is slightly becoming lesser of the case, there has already been various attempts on other (what was then proprietary) parts of the device.16:35
*** arcean_ has quit IRC16:37
*** user_ has joined #maemo16:37
Iridosno... it's kind of a regular wpa2 wifi, it only uses eap-ttls or peap to forward the credentials...  it's the bit in the FAQ https://www.eduroam.org/index.php?p=faq#safe " The certificate of your home institution is the only point you need to trust regardless of who operates any intermediate infrastructure." that I wonder about...16:37
psycho_oreosI'm guessing the stuff to do with GSM is tied to CMT, messing around with that may ultimately brick your device iinm. *cough*android*cough* probably has similar stance except the actual GSM modem it seems to be available as a separate file.16:37
psycho_oreosOh, my bad.16:38
*** piggz_ has joined #maemo16:38
LjL-Alpskerio: is there anywhere i can see logs of the connection attempts? or connect from terminal?16:39
psycho_oreosdmesg.16:39
kerioi guess that it'll log to syslog, if it's running16:39
keriooh right, wifi also logs some things to dmesg16:39
*** konelix has joined #maemo16:39
LjL-Alpsdmesg show a fair bit of stuff. it appears to be "timing out" while trying to WPA authenticate16:40
psycho_oreosIt gets first seen by dmesg (to lesser extent). Albeit it can only hold a certain amount of information, can't remember but maybe something to do with buffer/message ring.16:40
LjL-Alpsalso it says it's using US as regulatory domain, but maybe that's just because i have no SIM inserted, the network is on channel 11 anyway16:41
psycho_oreosI guess it depends on where you set your locale and *possibly* the firmware you flashed N900 with.16:41
LjL-Alpsit also likes to say "down" and "firmware booted", after that it tries 4 times to authenticate, and times out16:42
LjL-Alpsmaybe i should reboot my Android device too, rule out it's its fault (though other computers are connected to it)16:42
psycho_oreosFirmware booted is to do with the fact that wl1251 is a softMAC based chip (where firmware sits on the host OS) and not inside the actual chipset. Its not that important to know that.16:43
LjL-Alpsthen can we please hack that firmware to enable AP mode? ;P16:43
psycho_oreosdown and up is mainly controlled by wlancond iinm.16:43
psycho_oreosAsk TI.16:43
LjL-Alpsuh...16:45
LjL-Alpsit connected now16:45
LjL-Alpsand i did literally nothing16:45
LjL-Alpsi, uh, opened CSSU Features Configuration, and FAM. don't see how these could be related16:45
psycho_oreosBesides enabling AP mode, you still need to upgrade the lot of wireless portion within maemo.16:45
LjL-Alpspsycho_oreos: well that sounds easier than reverse engineering a firmware in theory, no?16:46
psycho_oreosIt might also be something to do with range/interference.16:46
LjL-Alpsthere should be barely any interference here. well who knows, as long as it works16:46
psycho_oreosLjL-Alps, that's kinda like expecting wl1251 kernel module to already be as formidable as wl12xx kernel module.16:46
LjL-Alpspsycho_oreos: sorry, i don't understand what you mean. is wl1251 (or wl12xx?) the "bleeding edge" driver with injection?16:48
psycho_oreosLjL-Alps, wl1251 is the bleeding edge driver that has injection capabilities. If you used wl1251 for anything else apart from rfmon, it tends to crash the device.16:49
LjL-Alpswell i turned it on at some point just to see what it even was (the status bar applet i have offers that option), but then i always used the normal one16:50
psycho_oreosIOW, wl1251 isn't even stable to begin with, hence we're still using old wl12xx.16:50
LjL-Alpsoh, is it possible the wifi didn't have enough battery juice to actually work? i'm "charging" the N900 by having it connected to a netbook's USB port, and apparently there is 0% battery left16:51
psycho_oreosYeah I have a status bar applet that allows me to change it on the fly, but I'm trying to say that if wl1251 was as formidable/stable as wl12xx and that we could just be using one kernel driver for 802.11 stuff (forgoing wl12xx) then we might be even one step closer.16:51
LjL-Alpsi see16:51
LjL-Alpsit's really a bummer for me, the inability to be an AP (or rather, the inabilty to use WPA while being a hotspot). there are other reasons i might prefer to keep using my Android device as my main phone, but this is the big one :(16:52
psycho_oreosI don't know, its possible that the N900 was in power saving mode. However if its connected to an external power supply, N900 may not remain constantly in power saving mode.16:52
*** piggz_ has quit IRC16:53
*** piggz_ has joined #maemo16:53
LjL-Alpsand speaking of wifi power saving, is there usually any advantage in setting transmit power to 10mW instead of 100? since i see there's an option for that16:53
psycho_oreosIt's what nokia and TI chose to do, no tertiary/AP firmware, besides like I said its missing a whole bunch of userland tools required for proper AP mode.16:53
kerioLjL-Alps: i don't think so16:54
psycho_oreosI doubt it but I've always left mine to be at 100mW.16:54
LjL-Alpsi'm not sure why lack of AP mode implies also lack of ad-hoc WPA, but i suppose there's a reason16:54
*** user_ has quit IRC16:55
ShadowJKLjL-Alps; 10mW/100mW is a regulatory thing. In some countries you're limited to 10mW outdoors and 100nW indoors16:56
LjL-Alpsah16:56
LjL-Alpshey... not sure i want to do this since it's more complicated than it should but - since we have host mode, would it be possible to use an external wifi dongle to support AP mode?16:57
psycho_oreosSomehow I think lack of ad-hoc WPA is related to an outdated wireless-tools :p i.e. wireless userland tools.16:57
LjL-Alpsoh16:58
LjL-Alpsthen i'll look into that16:58
psycho_oreosIt would require the wifi dongle to: a) be supported by linux natively and b) needs the driver to be built specifically for maemo kernel (compat-wireless or otherwise).16:58
psycho_oreosYou can but you won't get far.16:59

Iridosso how's the normal wireless-dialog offereing WPA if there's no wpa_supplicant17:31
*** LaoLang_cool has quit IRC17:31
psycho_oreosWhat? huh?17:32
psycho_oreosI don't think the wireless-dialog actually relies on wpa_supplicant at all. It relies on some other in-house program to do all the connecting and stuff.17:33

psycho_oreoswpa_supplicant is/was the normal way of authenticating/hosting WPA secured networks. I just don't know why it was not to be embedded into maemo at all.17:39

LjL-Alpsi just succeeded in using airmon-ng and airbase-ng to create an unencrypted AP that my netbook could connect to, i guess that's something17:40
kerio=D17:40
LjL-Alpsmy N810 doesn't seem to see it though17:40
psycho_oreosairmon-ng isn't really needed, not sure would "bleeding-edge" kernel module be needed either.17:42
keriopsycho_oreos: to inject stuff17:42
kerioLjL-Alps: this is in monitor mode, right?17:42
psycho_oreoskerio, yeah with "bleeding-edge". Maybe that is a dependency for airbase-ng I guess.17:43
LjL-Alpskerio: i suppose so, i don't understand this stuff very much so i'm mostly googling things around. but, i've started airmon-ng, that created a mon0 interface, and then i started airbase-ng on mon017:43
psycho_oreosIt would definitely have to be in monitor mode, airmon-ng just turns an interface (or VIF even) into monitor interface.17:43
LjL-Alpsairbase-ng actually seemed to be happy enough being started directly on wlan0, but that way i didn't see it from my N810, so i tried with airmon17:43
psycho_oreoswlan0 needs to be in monitor mode (ideally).17:44
psycho_oreosThat would also make mon0 rather redundant, which like I said makes airmon-ng isn't a necessity.17:44
LjL-Alpspsycho_oreos: are you saying it would be better to put (how?) wlan0 in mon mode, rather than "bridging" it to mon0 using airmon?17:44
LjL-Alpswell the important thing now anyway is to see if i can use WPA with this17:45
psycho_oreosLjL-Alps, 1) iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor (the interface or VIF needs to be down via ifconfig first). 2) It's not a matter of bridging factor, mon0 is essentially wlan0, it just shares the same "base".17:46
psycho_oreosIf you are say for example already associated to a network on one VIF, you can for example with another interface setup Ad-hoc/AP/rfmon mode. However the extra interface must share the same frequency as the base as it is a hardware limitation.17:47
LjL-Alpspsycho_oreos: is what airmon-ng does then to create a "VIF" in monitor-mode, and leave the wlan0 "VIF" in normal mode?17:52
psycho_oreosLjL-Alps, essentially yes.17:53
psycho_oreosor basically it doesn't do anything to wlan0 but use that as a "reference point". It actually does more than that such as it checks the driver used and reports information about the wireless (802.11) chipset.17:54

*** flo_lap has joined #maemo18:05
LjL-Alpsmeh, everything on google tells me how to make an airbase-ng AP that accepts *any* WPA key, so i can sniff people's passphrases, but that's not what i want to do :\18:05
*** rcg has joined #maemo18:06
psycho_oreosYou were already forewarned about that :P18:06
*** stef_204 has quit IRC18:08
LjL-Alpspsycho_oreos: fair enough, but i get the distinct feeling it *is* possible to use this program to make a proper (if resource-intensive) WPA2 AP. just, since as you say it's not its intended purpose, there's not an ocean of documentation about it18:09
psycho_oreosLjL-Alps, probably not really worth it in the long run. You'd be spending far more time and effort in getting airbase-ng to act as a proper AP (which ends up breaking various levels of regulation as well, along with rewriting history). Far more effort than getting wpa_supplicant to work so that you can use Ad-Hoc with WPA.18:11
LjL-Alpspsycho_oreos: why does it break regulations?18:12
psycho_oreosLjL-Alps, I think you are basically circumventing the fact of how TI and nokia refused to offer Tertiary/AP firmware for instance.18:13
freemangordonpsycho_oreos: how's -thumb?18:13
psycho_oreosThat plus airbase-ng wasn't really cut out for "normal" usages, it was specifically designed to take advantage in a loophole amongst specific drivers. Its kinda like you're trying to add more fuel to the already burning flame.18:14
psycho_oreosfreemangordon, somewhat very impressive though compared with another N900 not being in -thumb I can see that more swap is being used as a result (on a -thumb enabled N900).18:15

psycho_oreosFAT errors are pointing at your eMMC, it probably needs fsck or something. Dmesg output from PC I could see sdb and sdc being created. That could be from N900, so check via fdisk -l to see if /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc are actually N900's exports to PC.22:20

psycho_oreosSysaxed, /dev/sdb looks almost certainly like your eMMC. /dev/sdc looks like 1GB microSD that doesn't seem to be setup properly. Your /dev/sdc setup often reminds me of my old n95.22:25
*** M4rtinK has joined #maemo22:25
Sysaxeduhh, what do you mean by "doesn't seem to be setup properly"22:26
Sysaxedwell, it looks weird, but it was working22:26
Sysaxedand it IS working if I open up a terminal and block my eMMC so it wont try to give any access to it22:27
psycho_oreosHave a look at those question marks, and the filesystem reported by fdisk. It seems like its all obfusicated output.22:27
Sysaxedso are you telling me that if I take my sd card out it will start working correctly?22:28
psycho_oreosI'm not saying it doesn't work, I'm saying the way how that 1GB microSD is setup looks weird.22:28
psycho_oreosNo, both should be working fine.22:28
Sysaxedok22:28
psycho_oreosI'm pretty certain your 1GB doesn't actually have 4 partitions does it?22:29
SysaxedI have no idea22:29
Sysaxedit was not me who was formatting it22:29
Sysaxedbut I have only seen one partition22:29
psycho_oreosI'm guessing there's no way in hell it would show up as four separate partitions. Besides 1GB being split into four (or so) makes illogical sense.22:30
Sysaxedwell, I should reformat it one day22:30
Sysaxedbut still, what about my things not being mounted at all?22:31
psycho_oreosIn either case I'd personally fix it by backing up contents of the microSD and nuke the partition table (of microSD), re-partition, re-format and chuck all the data back on it.22:31
Sysaxedwell, I don't care about microSD, really22:31
SysaxedI want my eMMC to be mounted...22:31
psycho_oreosYou should be able to have eMMC mounted correctly, not sure about microSD with all those weird unknown filesystems.22:32
Sysaxedyou were saying something about fsck?22:32
SysaxedI have opposite problem...22:32
LjL-Alpsthe NITDroid site seems to be mostly down, how decent was it for the N900 last time, out of curiosity? hardware support?22:32
psycho_oreosYeah, that dmesg output from your N900 shows errors with /dev/mmcblk0p1 which is actually the eMMC partition.22:33
Siceloheh, and this N900 works fine on other computers?22:33
SysaxedSicelo: not after upgrade22:33
Sysaxedand this is the output from one of these that can't get it working22:33
psycho_oreosSysaxed, you should be able to still mount the eMMC on your PC without issues. fdisk -l shows it as /dev/sdb, dmesg reports two extra "drives". So the kernel is seeing it, its just a matter of getting it mounted.22:34
psycho_oreosLjL-Alps, that is a little offtopic here (fyi), their forums is still up but I don't think their main focus is on N900 anymore.22:35
LjL-Alpspsycho_oreos: ok, i'm sorry, was just mildly curious (i have an almost identical Android device anyway so running Android on the N900 would really just be to see what it's like)22:36
psycho_oreosLjL-Alps, not an op here myself :) I do recall nitdroid builds for N900 was lacking features (mainly due to N900's use of proprietary components and android's lack of focus on non-officially supported devices).22:38
