Title: 3.5.4.1 Usb Networking?
Post by: alee16 on July 06, 2006, 09:18:14 am

I'm running the latest OPIE image and OZ 3.5.4.1.  I am trying to configure USB networking based on the how-to on OpenZaurus.org.  When I plug my Zaurus (SL-C1000) into my Computer (I'm running a take-off of Fedora Core 5) I don't get any "usb0" port on my ifconfig -a.

I checked my kernel configuration (2.6.16) and it seems to include Zaurus support.  Has anyone run into the same trouble?
Should I configure something on my Z before plugging it into the computer or is it a problem with my distro?
Should I try loading some other modules?

Thanks!

Hello.
Does your PC see the Z?
What is the output of "lsusb" (as root) on your PC?
I have this problem since 3.5.4 that my PC don't recognize the Z. No turn around for now.
Regards

No, it doesn't even see my Z, no output.  Is this a 3.5.4.1 bug (has anyone else had the same problem), or could it be an OPIE bug?  If so, where should I report it?

Try "modprobe g_ether" and then "ifup usb0" on your Z. I tried this combination on my poodle running an experimental 2.6.17 kernel and my fedora 4 box saw it no problem. I have not tried this combo in windows yet...

In Z type:
rmmod ohci_hcd
modprobe g_ether
CONNECT Z TO PC!!
ifconfig usb0 up
ifconfig usb0 192.168.66.2

on PC type:
dmesg (check usb0 is there)
ifconfig usb0 up
ifconfig usb0 192.168.66.1

Test : ping 192.168.66.2
(ifup is not a "must")
