Even if I try to change their MAC addresses, my dongles are not recognized properly and they are always configured with addresses 169.254.0.0/16. Is there a way to solve this problem? - how do you change their MAC addresses? - the IP addresses your dongles receive is a matter of your DHCP servers -...

thanks for sharing this. Maybe there is a special dependency on external hubs and other devices in use in your system?

sparkie777

the examples given in the first post still are valid for RPi 3B+. I just verified. As outlined above in your case you simply need a file '72-wlan-geo-dependent.rules' with content: ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="net", SUBSYSTEMS=="sdio", KERNELS=="mmc1:0001:1", NAME="wlan0" ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="ne...

just install

Termux - Android Apps on Google Play

on your tablet/ smartphone. This will enable an (almost) full-fledged debian apt environment (including ssh, sshd bash, vim, gawk, mutt, rsync) on your smartphone. I.e. with all the linux commands you already know from your PI.

there is a very nice site for projects like that - unfortunately in german

when is comes to the mmal version of mjpeg-streamer just add '-hf -vf' to the options to yield a 180 degree rotation

sparkie777

you should not "download malicious applications" - that's all

The simple answer to that is to leave the raspberrypi.org stretch repositories in your sources.list.d directory.

wow, even better. Debian is simply configurable to any degree of up-to-dateness. Obviously some people don't know that but complain instead:-) There is nothing more to say.

sparkie777

I don't understand why people often complain about debian being outdated. The opposite is true. Ever heard about 'testing', 'unstable' or even 'experimental' debian repositories?

you can setup 'smsd' contained in the 'smstools' package to function as relay between email and SMS. So you just need to send/receive emails on the RPi. As you say 'annoying antenna that has to stick out' is not confined to your RPI then. Install your antenna (do you mean modem?) on any computer wit...

usb_modeswitch provides some reset functionality. Did you already try that?

I use some Power Bank similar to this one:
Anker PowerCore 20100 - Ultra High Capacity Power Bank

is easy to use and provides plenty of power. Should be sufficient for most mobile applications...

sparkie777

possibly it matters you use a Pi Zero W. I only could try with my RPi3. Besides that maybe there is a difference between the 2 Micro USB ports on your Pi Zero W? Anyway, good luck!

sparkie777

I use one of my RPi3s as router between mobile networks and local WIFI. OS is raspbian (stretch) based, modem is: Huawei E3372 Out of curiosity I simply rebootet (init 6) and watched the modem LED. It goes completely off for a while and after this starts with blinking at higher frequency (indicating...

volume could be set
either with

'cplay' directly: press the 'h' key to get some 'help' => to control volume use the 1..9, +, - keys.

or with the help of

'amixer' utility (if you have the 'alsa-utils' package installed)

sparkie777

just

Code: Select all

apt install cplay

and you enjoy the lightest music player ever:-)
your requirements are all satisfied.
the backend is freely configurable. ogg123(1), mpg123(1), mpg321(1), splay(1), madplay(1), mikmod(1), xmp(1), play(1), speexdec(1) and even mplayer are all supported.

sparkie777

I don't know nothing about the E3372H.
Why is it important to use the 'H' version?
SMS could be sent via programs included in the 'smstools' package. Alternatively the 'modemmanager' also works for this.

kernel-headers and kernel are pretty much in sync here: ii raspberrypi-kernel 1.20171029-1 armhf Raspberry Pi bootloader ii raspberrypi-kernel-headers 1.20171029-1 armhf Header files for the Raspberry Pi Linux kernel I don't know what the problem is?

I configured an RPi3 as WLAN access point (raspbian based, internal WLAN, simple bridge mode). Then I started 'netcat' on RPi3. nc -l 9000 < /dev/zero and another 'netcat' on a ThinkPad X1 Carbon 3rd (debian stretch, kernel 4.9.0-5-amd64, connected via WLAN to RPi3, about 2m distance): nc rpi3 9000 ...

how is 'the old cronjob' identified (in terms of a machine)?

normally you alter the crontab by the 'crontab' command (if you cease from editing the crontab directly by means of any text editor)

sparkie777

sorry, I can't tell you anything about the other 3 modems

sparkie777

I like this one best: Huawei E3372 http://consumer.huawei.com/uk/mobile-broadband/e3372/ runs with old fashioned AT-Interface (e.g. for ppp-daemon, wvdial, smstools) as well as with ncm-mode (Network Control Model for modem-manager). I never met a better modem for use under Linux/Debian in terms of ...

You could always buy a plug type psu and simply take it apart you often find there are wires connecting the PCB to the plug part so you can simply un-solder them.

?

- it's cheap
- it's secure
- needs no plug socket
- it's tiny size

sparkie777

Or, there should be some way to make the rules only AFTER the tunnel is ready. (That sort of implies a security risk though...) you can setup your rules anytime even when the referred interfaces do not yet exist. It appears that something in your configuration already sets up some iptables in a wro...
