Easy and safe SSH access to your iLiad
An easy method for semi-n00bs like me, to gain SSH access to your iLiad, and some handy scripts for starting the network and scanning for wireless lans without starting the terminal window.
This assumes you have the 2.7.1 and the .sh extension. If not, you probably know how to do this anyway. Network usage: - Unzip network.zip to a suitable place. Edit startwlan.sh and change the long number to the HEX value of your wep key. (google wep hex calculator if you only know your ascii key). Copy the entire directory to your iLiad using USB (or any other method), place it in e.g. newspapers. Browse to that directory (e.g click on "news"). There should be a directory called "network". Enter that and click startwlan.sh. Use "scanwlan.sh" and then view the WirelessLANs.txt to see available networks. After you've started wlan, you can browse the web by clicking on "World Wide Web.html" and following links. (There probably is a better way to do this?) Dropbear usage: (For more info about this, search the forums for dropbear) - First, use an ssh client to create a public key and a private key (or use an existing). If you don't know what this means, stop here ![]() - Unzip the dropbear to a suitable place. Edit id_rsa.pub and paste in the content of you rsa signature (not your public/private key, only the signature). The file should look somewhat similar to mine. - Copy the directory to a suitable place on your iLiad, e.g. newspapers. Navigate to that place. There should be an icon "Dropbear". Clicking on that will take a looong time the first time. After that, your ssh server should be running and you can try to connect to it. - Of course, you have to be online to get ssh access. Use the above network trick to start wlan. Enjoy. Post here if there are any problems. Last edited by narve; 11-28-2006 at 06:15 PM. |

https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...9&page=3&pp=15 There he launches minimo directly, which I assume will give you an location bar etc. I haven't tried that yet. I've put links to my most popular sites in a html-file on the iLiad, so I don't need to enter adresses using the iLiad keyboard, it is too slow for that. Will experiment with the above application and see if I find a better way to browse the web. Now I gotta get an email application working, so I can send my self files instead of using USB ![]() |

Hi Narve,
browsing to those web links isn't working here. I just get a lot LED blinking going on. Any idea what could be wrong? After scanning my wireless network is written to the text file. (Had to adjust the file path in scanwlan.sh to "network" though!) I have 128 bit WEP encryption. Works fine with IDS. Last edited by emkay; 11-29-2006 at 08:07 AM. |

/usr/bin/wired.sh start dhcp instead of wireless.sh ... in startwlan.sh. Or better, create a startlan.sh containing the above line. If you don't have dhcp, I don't know how to do it. Try writing wired.sh and see if you get any help. (This is assuming you have ssh access, or use the mrxvt terminal app) |

Also, remember to replace 'n-net' with the name (SSID) of your wireless network. Sorry, forgot to explain that ![]() |

Interestingly starting Minimo from contentLister with a local html and following external links does NOT work for me. It looks for a local file instead. Last edited by k2r; 11-29-2006 at 04:41 PM. |
