Microsloth winmail.dat (TNEF) file decoding?
Not too shy to talk
Not too shy to talk


Hi All,

I'm just wondering what luck or clues anyone might have for
decoding "windmail.dat" TNEF files from microsoft email
clients on AmigaOS.

A bit of background (if you need), these TNEF files (named
"winmail.dat" are proprietary attachments microsoft cooked
up to lock out foreign platforms...

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?s ... n=&title=Special%3ASearch

There are a couple ways for getting into these TNEF files
on AmigaOS that I've found: Unarc has a very out of date
MS-TNEF decoder and there's an old decoder on OS4Depot:

http://os4depot.net/index.php?functio ... =utility/archive/tnef.lha

Unfortunately, I'm finding the unarc plugin almost never
shows anything and the decoder util doesn't decode ICS
(calendar invites).

Anyone have any suggestions?

So far the only way I've found to get into the attachments
has been to forward messages into my gmail acct and (only)
open it in webmail.

Thanks,

PJS

Another bit of good news for the drivers... It's been
24 hours and the prism's connection is still up and
running on my A1-XE with ping running continuously.

Just to provide some more test results, I've replaced the
WPN311 card with my Amigakit wifi card in my A1-XE to see
how it worked.

Using the v2.4 prism driver, I started WM manually and it
looks like everything fired up OK and my system is online.
Here's the WM output:

Hopefully, the Amigakit card stays online longer here than
it does on my SAM. I'll keep a shell pinging the router
and see what happens.

I hope this helps with your development.

Thanks,

An update on the A1-XE:

Last week I got the WPN311 installed and running on my
A1-XE and thought I'd leave it online and pinging overnight
to see how things go...

Instead it got a bit longer term test... I never got back
to the office last week and my Amiga ran all weekend with
the WPN311 up & pinging away.

I'm glad to report everything is still working today
(~96 hours later), my Amiga is still online and ping still
running. I'm looking forward to seeing this on my SAM
and X1K!

:)

Thanks ncafferkey!

Hi LiveForIt,

Thats a hard one

If this helps any, the trick I used to use with Shapeshifter
was this "virtual SANA" driver that would let the Mac
side see the network on the Amiga side:

http://aminet.net/package/comm/tcp/vlink

I wonder whether something like that might still be usable
with anything you might try to do with Basilisk?

Anyone know if the dev (Chris Brenner) is still around?

Thanks,

There is probably a bunch of stuff that can be fixed in the GUI, but it depends on you people, how interested you are, I see few people interested but no feature requests.

I just wanted to say I've also been watching this thread
with great interest. I used to use Shapeshifter a lot in
the old days and would love to see Basilisk be as useful.

Can't say I had any great issues with the GUI, I just found
past instances of Basilisk not as compatible with apps as
the Shapeshifter used to be and I really missed network
access in Basilisk.

I'm hoping your new versions might help these things.

In any case, keep up the great work! Looking forward
to your results!

THANKS,

But the problem in the X1000 appears to be different, as it partially works for you.


Agreed, yes it is.

FWIW, I took the atheros card to my office, plugged it into
my A1-XE and it's mostly working here. This is with the
v15 driver from OS4Depot.

The only drawback is that I have to cold boot and then warm
boot to get the machine started with the card in, but I
think this may be a problem with UBoot variables.

If it helps any, I started the network manually and here's
the feedback I got from WM:

As I said, the network is working and I've got a continuous

is the occasional "(DUP!)" in the ping returns.

Bear in mind, this isn't a SAM specific problem - the
atheros driver wasn't working in my X1K either.

Thanks,

Yes, indeed other PCI cards work in my SAM... The Amigakit prism card, even.
Just for not very long. It typically dies after a while (0.5-6 hours). My
experience with that was reported in this thread:

http://www.amigans.net/modules/xforum ... t_id=76630#forumpost76630

FWIW, I'm posting this via the prism card.

I looked at the prism card in Ranger and if this is the right item, this is what I saw:

Just for the sake of testing, I ran WM manually on the prism and got this:

Re: Atheros WLAN driver success/failures

Hi all,

Finally got some time to get the WPN311 card back into the
SAM440-mini and to try manually & verbosely starting the
WirelessManager and AddNetInterfaces...

Sorry for a long post, but here's what happened:

First, I continued trying with the atheros5000.device.debug4
(090313) version, I get:
Quote:

MLME: starting scan

When I tried starting the network, it times out like this:
Quote:
6.aSYS:> AddNetInterface DEVS:NetInterfaces/~(#?.info)
Interface "interface" added.
Trying interface "interface" configuration...
AddNetInterface: Interface "interface" configuration attempt timed out.
6.aSYS:>

This was the same result with all my tests... I have Internet Prefs
simply configured to use the atheros driver with a dynamic DHCP connection.

So I rebooted, installed the vanilla v15 driver (from OS4Depot), ran WM
again, and I got this:
Quote:

Finally, seeing the line above about "wpa" (my network is now open),
I thought maybe results might be different if I tried an encrypted
network. So I rebooted, changed the network to WEP and the
ENVARC:sys/wireless.prefs file. I tried WM again and got this:

As always, trying to AddNetInterface, things just timed out. In
all cases I rebooted before each test.

Re: Atheros WLAN driver success/failures
Not too shy to talk
Not too shy to talk


Well, FWIW, it looks like the lockups with the atheros
driver and the Netgear WPN311 card in my X1K are still
there.

Since my last post I've been running either the beta
driver (from this thread) or the v15 driver from OS4Depot
and have still encountered these lockups after a few
hours.

Most of the time and at the moment of every lockup, I
limited my use of the X1K to simply pinging, AmIRC and
streaming audio with AmigaAmp.

I'm running the beta kernel and I also kept kicking up the
debuglevel on the machine to see if I could provoke
anything to appear on the serial port. The last time
around, I had the debuglevel=10 and there was still
nothing.

In case it matters, I'm connecting to an open network
and that connection occurs quickly.

Next, I'll try things again in the SAM with various
drivers and manual startups.

Thanks,

PJS

For initial testing, I'd recommend not enabling any TCP/IP interfaces. Just run "WirelessManager atheros5000.device VERBOSE" in a shell. If it connects, leave it running for a while to see if it's stable.

FWIW, I rebooted my X1K and it's been online and pinging
for 30+ minutes. Maybe the lockup was just the driver's
opening jitters?

I'll leave it pinging for a while more to see what
happens... then move the card back to the SAM to
try as you suggest:

Quote:
It's also important to disable WirelessManager from starting at boot if you want to test it in a shell: two copies running can cause problems.

The first driver version to try is the updated one on Aminet, before trying any debug versions.

Re: Atheros WLAN driver success/failures

Not too shy to talk


Hi all,

I spun the wheel again and the mailman brought me a new
wifi card to try: it's a Netgear WPN311 (version V1H2).

I installed the latest driver posted here in the thread
and reengaged the WirelessManager lines in the S-S of my
SAM440-mini. On cold reboot, I reconfigured Internet
prefs, it restarted the stack, but all I got was a timeout.

After shutting the net down, I ran...

run <>nil: c:WirelessManager atheros5000.device

...and nothing happens (no error msg). Then I execute
network-startup and after a while I get the console prompt
back but no net connection. Doing shownetstatus, I get:

8.RAM Disk:> ShowNetStatus
Network status summary
Local host address = 0.0.0.0 (on interface 'interface')
Default gateway address = (Not configured)
Domain name system servers = 192.168.1.1
8.RAM Disk:>

Then I ran the last DMATest2 app I saw in the thread and
this is what I got:

8.RAM Disk:> DMATest2
Virtual address: 0x5A83F040
Virtual block size: 64
Physical address: 0x18203040
Physical block size: 64
8.RAM Disk:>

I copied all the files (driver, WMgr, .prefs, etc) to my
X1K, I installed the card, selected the driver in Internet
prefs and everything started working straight away... for
about 5 minutes (pinging the router the whole time) and
then my X1K locked up. There was nothing on the serial
port (using the debug kernel).

Doing DMATest2 on the X1K, I get this:

9.RAM Disk:> DMATest2
Virtual address: 0x5AFE8240
Virtual block size: 64
Physical address: 0x17685240
Physical block size: 64
9.RAM Disk:>

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Bummer this is the wrong card... when I saw most of its
name posted above with all the plusses, I thought I was
golden! ;)

Before I go shopping again, I thought I'd survey the
results here in the thread.

If I got it right, outside of ncafferkey and his DLink
DWL-G520 and Netgear WPN-311, the only person to report
success has been goos and his ABIT WPL-01...

ABIT WPL-01 = Works for goos, was DSI'ing for imagodespira
Alpha WMP-009 = DSI'd for billt a long time ago, no new news
Dlink DWL-G520 = Works for ncafferkey, hangs or times out for others
Netgear WG311T = Hangs for cara
Netgear WPN311 = Works for ncafferkey, times out for JurrasicC

Granted we haven't heard from billt and imagodespira in a
long time and only utri007 has reported testing with the
newest driver on OS4Depot.

Anyone else have new results? Anyone skip posting their
successes?

Hi Matt/Chris/Amigakit,

Can I suggest you guys post the best means for folks to
contact you for getting their wifi cards re-flashed?

I tried to get a PCtech friend to reflash mine, but the
listed software wouldn't recognize the card.

As it stands, my Amigakit card refuses to stay online for
more than an hour or so and I'm hoping reflashing might
help that (??).

Maybe if you're lucky, when they release the new Warp3D

Re: Atheros WLAN driver success/failures

Hi ncafferkey and all,

Given the unreliability of the prism driver & card, I bought the
D-Link DWL-520+ card and have been trying it out in my SAM440ep.
So far, it's been a no-go.

First, I tried using the May'13 atheros driver and then I installed
the July1st version posted in this thread. In all cases, the
WirelessManager (WM) fails when called (with this is the line in
the s-s):

run <>nil: c:WirelessManager atheros5000.device

Specifically, with the normal kernel I get this line in a console:

NIL::1: c:WirelessManager failed returncode 20

If I switch to using a debug kernel, then I get a DSI on the WM.
Crashlogs have been saved in this archive:

http://www.pjsa.net/WirelessManager-Crashlogs.lha

Just in case WM was somehow dependent on the config of Roadshow (RS),
I continued and configured RS to use the atheros device. When I
saved the config, RS restarted & I got this error in a console:

[error]: Could not open "atheros5000.device" unit 0 (Device/unit failed to open).

I also downloaded the DMA test app posted in this thread and this
is what I got when I ran it with the July1st driver in place (but
inactive):

Virtual address: 0x58BEE560
Virtual block size: 64
Physical address: 0x4428560
Physical block size: 64

Finally, I am noticing if I select either the prism or atheros
drivers in RS prefs' "Modify network interface" windows, the
driver type is listed as "unknown". Is this anything that
matters somehow?

ncafferkey, any thoughts on all this? Anything else to test?
Need any more data? Or should I continue on with the game of
wifi card roulette? ;)

Thanks,

PJS

It's my understanding the software for the KryoFlux is open
