Title: Usb For 2.6 Kernel On Poodle
Post by: hvontres on July 29, 2006, 10:14:01 pm

The 2.6 kernel uses the g_ether driver for usb networking now. First, make sure to run

Code: [Select]

modprobe g_ether
ifup usb0
That should bring up your interface on the Z. Note that it is now usb0 and no longer usbd0. Next, follow the instructions on this site to get the windows driver installed:

you may need to remove the old sharp drivers in order to get internet connection sharing to work. I use this setup to get my Z online when I am at work
