Now, I've built the DM9601 USB NIC driver, and made it can be loaded automatically.
but it still can't use, because the driver's status always be "initializing":

I think maybe it related with the warning messages I've got during compile process:

I'm using gcc 2.95.3 and kenel source code is download from
http://mail.pdaxrom.org/1.1.0beta1/src/lin...rom1_01.tar.bz2

I also tried to use local-patches in pdaXrom-builder to patch the kernel
CODE
cat ../pdaXrom-builder/patches-local/linux-c3100-20050602-rom1_01/generic/linux-pdaXrom.diff | patch -p1


but after I patched the kernel source, I could not compile the driver sucessfully

I got following error message:
CODE
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/sched.h:494: field `iWMMXt' has incomplete type


It was so strange...

can any body give a hand?

Thanks!

-Wells.

Hello

I have bought usb/lan with same chip. I will try to compile driver by myself. I see if I will have more success than you.
Can you write me where did you found sources for that driver?
Did you crosscompiled driver or compiled native on Z?

UPDATE: found driver here: http://www.davicom.com.tw/big5/download/Dr..._LINUX_V100.zip

Thnx

I am the friend of wells. His source is downloaded from http://www.davicom.com.tw/.
In pdaxrom, we found none successed compile driver native on Z. If you want to do it, may need a cross compile enviroment.
We have successed in compile wifi card driver for Agere Hermers I/II. When compile USB lan driver like rtl8150 and DM9601, we meet problem like Wells said before. And it seems not caused by driver source, maybe we missed something in compile env which not know.

If you successed, tell us how to do it.

Thanks

I would like to compile it native on Z but I am looking for native gcc 2.9.5 compiler for pdaxrom beta 1 or 3.

In fact we have try to compile it on native almost one week.

You may try to download from meanie's zgcc 2.95.squashfs

Result is here:
http://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showt...=22996&hl=wlags

If want to know more about compile kernel or driver, you may search keyword 2.95 in this forum.

PS:
We in QQ group 8505684, if you have qq number.

Have a luck.

Trying crosscompile

insmod dm9601.o
dm9601.o: kernel-module version mismatch
dm9601.o was compiled for kernel version 2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix
while this kernel is version 2.4.20.

I am going in your feet :-)

EDIT:

compiled ... tested ... working ... :-)

insmod usbcore
insmod crc32
insmod -f dm9601.o

ifconfig eth0 10.0.7.1 netmask 255.255.0.0
ping 10.0.1.160 working ....

attached my driver .... don't strip this module! or you get Floating popint exception don't know why ...

now ... how to clear -f flag and put it in depmod database to load usbcore and crc32 automatically and autoload when usb nic is pluged in

EDIT2:

New version without any problems.
Install instruction

copy to /lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/driver/usb
run depmod -a
then after you connect dm9601 USB NIC adapter you will get eth0

question:
How to set up this eth0 adapter automaticaly when loaded?
I need to put IP address manualy now like ifconfig eth0 address netmask mask.
I woluld like to have on this rth0 dhcp or IP address in config file somewhere.

Any solution for USB NIC in pdaxrom?

I am very glad to hear you have successed.

Can you tell us the detail of your cross compile? It should be best to attach the source and Makefile if you modified.

Our cross compile according to:
http://mail.pdaxrom.org/contrib/docs/kerne...mpile-3100.html
And compile wifi cf driver ok, but always meet problems when compile driver for usb lan, and it make us crazy.

Any help?

Got toolchain and kernel sources from cacko lon time ago ... i dont know where to find it now.
arm-cacko-linux-gnu-2.95.3-2.2.5-hardfloat-19.50_21.09.05.tar.bz2
cacko-1.23-kernel-2.4.20.tar.gz

I run linux in vmware and unpacked compiler to /opt as is
unpacked kernel to /usr/src

changed version.h in compiler toolchain to contain 2.4.20 ... there is 2.4.18something in it.

PATH=/opt/cross/arm/.../arm-cacko-linux/bin:$PATH ... I dont remember exact path
export PATH

add MODULE_LICENSE("GPL v2"); to dm9601.c
make org

thats all ... DON'T strip!

add an entry to /etc/hotplug/usb.handmap and create a script in /etc/hotplug/usb/
look at usb-storage for an example...
Meanie
Mar 28 2007, 04:29 PM
scratch the usb.handmap thing. a better way is to update net.agent

net.agent currently is using the redhat way of setting up the network, ie, calling /sbin/ifup which does not exist in beta3.

the section in question can be enhanced to actually differentiate between eth0 and wifi0/wlan0 so it can configure those interfaces differently. best would be to use the config under /etc/sysconfig/network and /etc/sysconfig/wireless respectively...

i have done that for Sharp ROM a long time ago so I will be looking at that and migrating it to net.agent in pdaXii13 also...
Meanie
Mar 29 2007, 03:00 PM
i have updated net.agent to configure eth0 as well as wifi0/wlan0 as soon as they are plugged in.
it reads the config from /etc/sysconfig/network and /etc/sysconfig/wireless respectively.

by default /etc/sysconfig/network has DHCP=y so it uses dhcp, but you can change it to n and fill in the relevant details in to that config file if you want to manually set your IP, etc...

so far I have only tested that plugging in a USB ethernet adaptor works with this setup. have not tried usb wifi adaptors since i dont have one but the script should be able to handle that as well..

make sure you extract net.agent from the zip file and copy it to /etc/hotplug

How /etc/sysconfig/network should lokk like? My has something like this:

root-smile.gif more network
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=zaurus
GATEWAYDEV=
GATEWAY=

and after plug usb/lan adapter I get ip address 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0.
Where is that information comming from?

and after plug usb/lan adapter I get ip address 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0.
Where is that information comming from?
*




something like this:

CODE
DHCP=no
IPADDR=192.168.1.2
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
DOMAIN=
GATEWAY=192.168.1.1
DNS1=192.168.1.1
DNS2=


192.168.0.1 is the default and comes from net.agent which provides default values if the required fields are missing or empty...
*



OK foud out ... but there is still error in script
dhcpd won't do the work getting IP address from DHCP server

dhcpcd will but it is not working for only once...
when I unplug and plug again eth0 I won't get IP address.
maybe put dhcpcd -k in front of dhcpcd eth0?

i have updated net.agent to configure eth0 as well as wifi0/wlan0 as soon as they are plugged in.
it reads the config from /etc/sysconfig/network and /etc/sysconfig/wireless respectively.

by default /etc/sysconfig/network has DHCP=y so it uses dhcp, but you can change it to n and fill in the relevant details in to that config file if you want to manually set your IP, etc...

so far I have only tested that plugging in a USB ethernet adaptor works with this setup. have not tried usb wifi adaptors since i dont have one but the script should be able to handle that as well..

make sure you extract net.agent from the zip file and copy it to /etc/hotplug

How /etc/sysconfig/network should lokk like? My has something like this:

root-smile.gif more network

i will have to add dhcpcd -k in the next update. dhcpd has already been changed to dhcpcd
