not bad, you should be editing the wiki.
vinnie:
it would be possible to recreate the extension for the new tinycore?
I've tried but I ran into an error when the program starts:
--- Code: ---tc@box:/$ wvdial
wvdial: error while loading shared libraries: libuniconf.so.4.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
tc@box:
--- End code ---
from what I found would be a wrong path of wvdial against wvstream,
a dependency that must be compiled first
Guy:
A wvdial extension would be a good addition.
It would be good if you keep trying, and see if you get it working. Even get help from others when you need it.
The people who create extensions do not have a dial up connection, and have no way of testing whether it works. So they have not created the extension.
tinypoodle:
For a potential alternative see:
http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=8431.msg45206#msg45206
xeznet which is available as precompiled binary seemed to work here after some fiddling...
Of course, what Guy said applies, no opportunity to test with a modem connection.
vinnie:
Ok, I succeded to use wvdial and now I want to create the package, but still a few problems and I would ask those who are more experienced than me.
1 After compiling wvdial always and ran, it says he does not find the library libuniconf.so.4.6. This library comes from wvstream I have compiled first. This problem seems to disappear to the installation of any package.tcz! could be a permissions problem?
2 wvdial inevitably calls for the executable pppd in /usr/sbin (actually installed in /usr/local/sbin from package pppd).
The string PPPD = /usr/local/sbin/pppd in /etc/wvdial.conf generates this error during wvdial starting:
--- Code: ---...
--> Unable to run /usr/sbin/pppd.
--> Check permissions, or specify a "PPPD Path" option in wvdial.conf.
--> Timed out while dialing. Trying again.
--> Sending: ATD*99#
--> Waiting for carrier.
...
--- End code ---
A symlink still easily solves this problem, but have an executable and a symlink in two different directory of executable both controlled by the system could not create problem?
