Title: Usbnet Fixed In Kernel 2.6.12-rc5
Post by: 7_feet_up on June 05, 2005, 05:31:59 am

As many already noticed, usbnet for zaurus was broken since kernel 2.6.11.
Good news: it now works again in 2.6.12-rc5.
I also applied the usbnet_zaurus.patch  (http://groups.google.nl/group/fa.linux.kernel/attach/f5c96f7402877dbd/usbnet_zaurus.patch?part=2)from David Brownell he submitted 3 june in the fa.linux.kernel newsgroup, which I don't know was necessary since I own the zaurus sl-5600, not sl-6000.
Here's the patch:

Code: [Select]

This "obvious" one-liner is needed to recognize Zaurus SL 6000;
it just checks two GUIDs not just one.

yup, since 2.6.12-rc5, when I tested it and posted that it worked on kernel bugzilla.
