Title: Usb Networking Under Windows
Post by: baallrog on August 13, 2006, 12:05:18 pm

Hi everyone,

I try to have netwok with usb under windows XP pro since a few week. But all my try failed.

When i put the usb cable, Windows ask me some drivers for rndis/ethernet gadget, so i have made some search on google and this forum. I have found a linux.inf file who seems to be the right way.

But when i plug the usb cable, windows reconize the zaurus like a new rj45 connection, so i can do network ... bu this connection is not actvated and never want to be ! when i try to activated it it trow : "failed"

on the zaurus i have do that :
modprobe g_ether
modprobe usbnet
ifup usb0

I have try to do thaht before and after plugging usb cable but it's still the same problem.

So how can i do networking under windows with opie ??

thank you in advance

1) Try connecting to another USB port, My Z seems to be a little picky when it comes to the usb port.
2) try restarting the g_ether module:
# modprobe g_ether -r

followed by,
# modprobe g_ether
#ifup usb0

btw, it would be helpful if you mention what ROM and Z model you are using.
