today i was able to test icq idling over 3g. seems i have to play around with the bytes-count taken into accout for determining unused connection.

Do you think you could you try to identificate the origin of the 42 bytes ? I'm curious and it would help me to understand the process. I just ran a few tests with my home wifi connexion but unfortunately I didn't log any received or sent packets on my device. That's why I assumed my script worked.



As I said before, even if they are a lot more RX packets than TX, I am pretty sure the proportion is the same (TCP needs feedback from the recipient).
Sincerely, I have no idea where these packets are coming from, I've already checked for anything that might be connecting or updating, do you know any command to check actual connections?

You could always keep your script as it is, I mean, in theory that's the way it should work. But considering that you are making an app for end-users, I believe it would be wise to know why it may not work for everybody and how to fix it. Having said that, it may be just for me, so I won't draw any conclusions until many people have tested if they receive or send packets when not using the connection.


PS: My n900 not only receives 1 packet of 42 bytes every 20 seconds or so, it also sends 1 packet of 60 bytes at the same interval. I had not payed attention to TX since I was not using it in my script.

Code:
apt-get install tcpdump
See http://www.tcpdump.org/tcpdump_man.html for documentation.

Ok, I've installed it... fooled around with it a bit, etc. Anyway, is any of this useful?

Code:
$ tcpdump -i wmaster0 -vv
tcpdump: WARNING: can't create rx ring on packet socket 3: 92-Protocol not avalaible
tcpdump: WARNING: wmaster0: no IPv4 address assigned

It's your access point at .254 address checking that you're still there every 20s, like you said before. These will be 28 byte rx and tx packets. A very quiet connection for the sample period.

Hi there! The application is almost finished. Need to build the .deb package now.

I made a small script in if.d :

Code:
#!/bin/sh
echo "$IFACE" >> /var/log/ifup.log
-----------------------

When I connect to the Wifi, $IFACE="wlan0", but when i connect to the 3G, $IFACE is empty instead of containing "gprs0".

Any idea why ?
Thanks.

UPDATE : it appears to be a known issue : https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7733. Please vote!

Is there a way to establish the gprs0 connection from the command line/with a simple script?

I've made an application here with a .deb package : https://garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_id=1353

Hope it will be on Extra-Devel soon.
