Topic: get this to work please

i have a EULA for wireless access to my jobs internet connection, and there is no WPA or WEP authentication here, just a EULA. and since there is no browser on the chumby i cant enter in my email addy and say yes to accept it, and then click submit like i would on a pc or laptop/


i read alot of forums, and even tried to use my Pocket PC as a router to connect thru
as well as trying to chance the MAC addy on the Pocket pc to the chumby's MAC addy ( which was just a waste of time because i wasnt able to find out how to do that either!)

now i am wondering about something that i saw on the Wiki page about using a UNIX style command to get the chumby to respond to a wired Ethernet to usb adapter.

this would save the day!

however i am not good with the linux kernel or UNIX language. so i dont understand the samples of code, or how to save a "debugchumby" file to the usb so it can be accessed at start up



thanks in advance for the help


and thanks to anyone who helped me on my last thread about the same topic that wiki page helped me alot to understand some of capabilities and limitations of the chumby

Re: get this to work please

Hi epaph,

debugchumby is just the name of the file to save to your USB drive. It needs to be in the root directory of the USB filesystem.

debugchumby should have no file extension, and UNIX-style linefeeds.

What kind of computer are you using?

On Windows, try NotePad or EditPad Pro (http://www.editpadpro.com/ ). On Mac, you can use TextEdit (you MUST choose PlainText in the Format menu). On UNIX/linux, or via the Mac commandline (i.e. Terminal), you can use vi, pico, emacs, etc...
