Pdaxrom And Kernel Module Options

[protechk]

Hi,

I make my own rom with pdaX86. It works like a charm whith a 2.6.16 kernel.
But now I would like to add a kernel module on my Z. I would like dm9601 so I download souce but own can I compile it for my Z whith pdaX86 ?

It's already compiled. My post with it seems to have disappeared, though. Here's scrapheap's build, which ought to be just as good or better (even an IPK)

If you're set on building modules, just copy the built kernel sources to your Z, and then point the module to them when you build it.

Thanks !!

But would like to know how to compile a module with pdaXrom builder. If someone can explain to me or give me a tutorial !!!

I try your ipk, I install it, I could modprobe it. when I do lsmod I can see dm9601 but when I plug my dongle I don't have any new device when I do ifconfig -a
My dongle works on pdaXii13 whith this pakage : http://www.tyrannozaurus.com/feed/beta3/cu...20_armv5tel.ipk

Have you got an idea?

In your pakage you use an old version of dm9601 that's why it doesn't work... I must compile the last...

Try doing an "ifconfig eth0 up" and then see if you can see it. I know it didn't appear for me until I did that (mabe it was wth1).

I doesn't work...I compile the last version of dm9601 and it doesn't work too...
My dongle only work with 2.4 kernel :-/
I don't understand why !!!

When I do lsmod I have got that :
Module Size Used by
dm9601 15752 0

I think the module could be used no??

[protechk]

I found the solution !!!!!!!!

When I do lsusb I have got this line :
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0a46:6688 Davicom Semiconductor, Inc

So I look the dm9601.h file and I don't know why I don't find any DM9601_DEV entry with 0a46:6688 so I add this line at the end of the file :
DM9601_DEV( "USB Ethernet", 0x0a46, 0x6688, DEFAULT_GPIO_RESET )

After this modification It works !!!!

I will have to look into that. It has never really worked for me, so I'll see if I can get it to work now.

Thanks!
