Title: usb ethernet adapter
Post by: gemini_user_j on October 29, 2020, 07:59:25 am

Hey, this may lean towards a debian question, but I am not sure where to start.

Inspired by this: https://www.hardill.me.uk/wordpress/2019/11/02/pi4-usb-c-gadget/

I set up a raspberry pi to be a ethernet usb dongle, and I can ssh into it while in android, however on gemian I dont get the ethernet device (I do see the usb device though)

Does anyone have an idea where to start figuring out how to get the gemini to get ethernet working?

After a bit of research, I am suspecting that cdc_ether [1] is missing from the gemian kernel.

Anyone know if that is something I can add myself?
I dont see any linux-kernel-extras which might contain it.
