Answering my own post, if you got Login Error after registering the device try add
options ndas_core ndas_dev=wlanX
to your /etc/modprobe.d/options – so it can pick the right interface.

That solved my issue.

( I got the ndas_dev tip here: http://code.ximeta.com/trac-ndas/ticket/666 )

On the other hand, is it supposed to be so slow as compared i.e. with FTP to the device?

Hello there. I made an Ubuntu 7.10 package of ndas-1.1-24 accordling to [1] and it compiled and installed OK but I cannot connect through WLAN (receive Login Error in cat /proc/ndas/devs).

I have checked the ID and key with no success.

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

I installed Ubuntu 9.04 a few days ago. My Ximeta NetDisk just works. I did nothing to add it. It appears as a usb drive under Computer.

Really disappointed about TREKSTOR they should not say they are Linux compatible.

I do not recommend it… I got it and I feel stock with it.

I contacted their customer support and they just send me to the Ximeta web site after a few email and phone calls.

Thanks for the reply…it was worth asking. I wish they’d rather claim not to support Linux instead of writing a piece of software and just not maintain it….

Hi Mathias,

sorry, but at the moment I’m not using the NDAS, I’m just plugging it directly into my PC.

Hey Manuel – I came across your patch and just wondered if you got ndas to work on a 2.6.23/24 kernel? There have been quite some bug reports on this, but ximeta seems not to be interested at all (not even responding to emails…). I thought maybe you had a look on this and prepared a new patch or something…hopefully (see: http://code.ximeta.com/trac-ndas/report/1)

Hi. I would like to use my two ndas devices with UBUNTU 7.10 64 bit. I am new to linux. Can you help me? Is there a repository from which I can download the application?

Michael,

I wasn’t able to use WLAN with a newer version of the driver, too.

Hi.
I was able to compile the updated 1.1-15 driver for gutsy gibbon without a problem and got it to work with standard ethernet. Unfortunately WLAN access doesn’t work either. I stumbled across your blog here and followed the instructions. I tried to compile it against the latest kernel headers for gutsy, which at the moment is 2.6.22-16. Unfortunately it didn’t work.
So here are the questions:
Will I have to downgrade to the lower kernel to compile this driver with your patch (which one are you guys using atm)?
Will this drive even work with WLAN? If so how will I have to set it up? I read online that it is not recommended using this drive with a wireless LAN…
Hope someone reads this and can help me.
Thanks,
Michael
