Hi
I'm a fairly new Zaurus user and have used this excellent forum to solve most of my teething troubles over the last few months but I am still stuck on a couple of issues. One if which is getting my cheap USB Ethernet adapter to work on my SL-C3200 running Cacko. As stated in the title it is marked MODEL : KH886 and is made by KangHui Tech CO.,LTD. When I plug it in with the USB Host cable absolutely nothing happens. Does anyone know if this should work as is or will I need specific drivers. I have searched the forum and also with Google but haven't come up with anything. Any help or advice much appreciated. Cheers Hughsieman |

Did you load Cacko Lite or the full version? You may have to load the usb network kernal module drivers from the feed. |

I have just installed usb-network-modules-2.4.20_1.23--lite-1_arm.ipk and unfortunately it still doesn't work.
Do I perhaps need a driver for this adapter? Cheers |

I just did a general search in google and it seems like others had problems with that adapter and linux. Check out the first two.
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&saf...F-8&sa=N&tab=iw You can try typing a lsusb to get some device info. Has anyone else had luck with this device. I have a Hawkings branded USB Ethernet dongle and it works well. |

Cheers
I saw those pages on my search and thought that I would have problems getting it to work. I did lsusb and these are the last two lines:- CODE Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0a46:9601 Davicom Semiconductor, Inc. This also confirms that it is a Davicom device as referred to in the first Google result. Thanks very much for your help, I think I will look for a Hawkins one instead. Should a Hawkins adapter work without any extra drivers? While I'm here I don't suppose you know anything about emulators for the humble ZX Spectrum do you?  http://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=22637 Cheers again Hughsieman |

Cheers It will work straight off the Z, at least it did for my 3100. I was trying to use a bluetooth adapter at the same time when I fried everything. |
