[Update]: 2013-08 This now also works on multilib/hardened/desktop
Note to Myself:
| Code: | this originally [b]'worked'[/b] on a [i]Blackberry Bold[/i] under [i]barry-17.1 ~x86[/i], but is **REPORTED**
to 'work' (sort of) on [i]profile: default/linux/amd64/13.0/no-multilib[/i], and
on [i]profile: hardened/linux/amd64/no-multilib[/i] with [i]glibc-2.17[/i] and [i]openrc-0.11.8[/i], but
not 'upgrade-able', as yet ([i]circa[/i] Dec 2013 ~~)..

[SOLVED - see below..]
I've had several Blackberries(tm). The latest is a Bold(tm).
Using ppp, dhcp, barry-0.18.3 (also barry-0.17.1) gets a timeout connecting, inside pppob.
I've 'manually' built barry, and used btool to 'monitor' the pts link during Connect.
Note that the Gentoo-provided sources work on the Curve(tm), but not on the Bold(tm).
[SOLVED]:
Note that, since I have no way of testing on any device other than the Bold(tm), I can't guarantee that
this will be backward-compatible, with eg the Curve(tm).
unmerge barry and libsdl first..  -- I'm using this w/o Xorg.. 
as 'regular user':
in barry-0.18.3/
cp src/m_ipmodem.cc src/m_ipmodem.cc-orig
merge:
src/m_ipmodem.cc (diff -c -i -E -B -w m_ipmodem.cc-orig m_ipmodem.cc):

ipmodem->m_dev.BulkRead(read_ep, data, 5000);

m_dev.BulkRead(read_ep, data);
ddout("IPModem: Start Response Packet:\n" << data);
+ #if 1
+ }
+ catch( Usb::Timeout &to ) {
+ // do nothing on timeouts
+ ddout("IPModem: Start Response Timeout");
+ }
+ #endif
}
// send packet with the session_key

(note: how do I 'bold' something inside a 'code' block in BBCode? ..  )
(note the 'dot' at the end of the 'cp' statements, below  )
(as root):
| Code: | cd /usr/lib
cp <path-to-sources>/barry-0.18.3/src/.libs/libbarry.so.18.0.3 . <== Note the 'Period'
ln -s libbarry.so.18.0.3 libbarry.so.18
ln -s libbarry.so.18.0.3 libbarry.so
**
cd /usr/sbin
cp <path-to-sources>/barry-0.18.3/tools/.libs/pppob . <== Note the 'Period'
|
This seems to work, Ok.
additional material (if needed):
we're using a pts serial as the serial device, so chatscript ought contain:
| Code: | pty "/usr/sbin/pppob -P <Bold device password>"
|
before the
| Code: | 'connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/chatscripts/<your chat script>"
|
