Hi. I have just bought a pegasus II usb ethernet adapter for my 6k. I don't have any compilers set up on the Z or any cross compiler. I can only find versions of this module which have been compiled against the 2.4.20 kernel- these don't work- I have the stock sharp kernel- 2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix.
Please could someone compile one for me or point me in the direction of a precompiled one.
Thanks in advance
Simon

adf compiled the drivers and xjqian has posted the drivers in this thread:

I am also adding them here so they don't get lost.
To use them, just
rename the file pegasus.o
and copy the file to:
/lib/modules/2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix/kernel/drivers/usb
Make the owner of the file root, then
su
insmod pegasus
ifconfig eth0 up
dhcpcd eth0
These drivers work with the default Sharp kernel as well as Guylhem's fast kernel. So far, I have not been able to use the graphical setup program to set this up. But from the command prompt, it works great!
EDIT: By the way, I am using these drivers for a cheap USB network dongle that detects as:
ADMtek ADM8511 Pegasus II Ethernet

I'm using a similar device and found the application "netswitch" to be quite useful in using the usb/ethernet dongle.
It's great for travelling in hotels that don't offer wifi, or if the wifi is too weak in the room.
You can find netswitch on Meanie's site here (http://www.users.on.net/~hluc/myZaurus/).

Yes! It works! Thankyou very much.
