Can anyone recommend an inexpensive USB LAN adapter that will work with pdaXrom/ii13? I want one that is supported in both the 2.4 and 2.6 versions. Smarter folks that I have tried to get the driver for my DM9601-based adapter working with no luck. I thought with the manufacturer providing linux drivers it would be easier, but obviously not. I would like to get a working USB LAN adapter before my next trip. Thanks.

USB dongles with pegasus and rtl8150 based chipsets will generally work since those two drivers are included out of the box... This means, most cheap USB dongles made in Taiwan will work, but the more expensive ones won't... |

Thanks. Most of the listings don't specify the chipset. I will look though. If anyone has a link to an eBay or other listing for a known good one, please share.

I got mine (see my sig) from geeks: http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=HE-130R&cat=NET
geeks often has grey market products from Taiwan and usually use generic chipset, which make them Linux friendly. Edit: btw, I got mine for $8 + S/H (but i placed a tall order with a total about $150 to offset the shipping charge). This post has been edited by xjqian: Mar 25 2007, 07:13 PM |

But ...
USB NIC which uses Davicom DM9601 chipset is the cheapest that I've ever seen... It costs me only 20 RMB (about 2.6 USD)... I would not stop trying to build driver for it ...

I appreciate Meanies compiling and wellswangs continuing to work on the driver, but for a $10 (1.99 +delivery) I can't wait forever to get a working NIC. |

Is the 9601 driver completely working now? If so, other than installing the ipk is there anything else needed to get it working? Thanks.

Does it work "out-of-the-box," or with little work? Thanks. |
