Tivo Airnet with Kraven

[Gabriel]

hi,

I have installed the TivoA Airnet card with a D-Link PCMCIA , I have a Linksys WAP/Switch functional with DHCP running

Kraven supports Turbonet the instructions say to add the following to rc.sysinit

ifconfig net0 192.168.1.99 netmask 255.255.255.0
route.tivonet delete default 2> /dev/null
route.tivonet add default gw 192.168.1.1 netmask 0.0.0.0 dev net0

two questions:

1) if I want my Dtivo to call I'm assuming I would use "eth0" instead of net0

2) is there an ifconfig command switch to set the SSID to that used by the WAP?

thanks for your help

With no experience I'd say:

1. Correct.
2. No, you have to have an open network.

so I added:

ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.109 netmask 255.255.255.0
route.tivonet delete default 2> /dev/null
route.tivonet add default gw 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth0

to my /etc/rc.d/rc.remote-login

sync'd and rebooted but I dont seem to have a network device?

bash-2.02# ifconfig
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Bcast:127.255.255.255 Mask:255.0.0.0
UP BROADCAST LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3584 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 coll:0

bash-2.02# ifconfig eth0
eth0: unknown interface.

Kraven has stated that his regular Ethernet driver is hardcoded as net0. I don't know if that's the case for the wireless driver as well. I'd try manually loading the driver and then setting the IP stuff so you can determine where things are going wrong.

per this post http://<a href="http://dealdatabase....ght=insmod</a>

I did this:

insmod -f /lib/modules/ax88796.o macaddr=012345 timing=5 devicename=net0

on both eth0 and net0

I get

/lib/modules/ax88796.o: invalid parameter devicename

it appears that eth0 is the standard interface and s/b loaded from rc.arch?

That's because the driver included in Kraven's update did not support the devicename command, Nick added that later. Like I said, Kraven's driver is hardcoded as net0. (Which I didn't know when I wrote in that other thread!) You'd have to use a hex editor on the driver to change it. I'd just replace the driver itself with the newer one from the Silicondust site and use the command line parameter. If there are other references to net0 in Kraven's files (and I believe there are) you'll need to change them as well.
