Network idProduct refuses 8004

[Anonymous]

I patched my kernel with usbdnet-2.14.18-patch.gz. I am able to reconfigure my kernel with either make menuconfig or make xconfig, and choose \"USBD Network (Encapsulated) Host-to-Host Link (EXPERIMENTAL)\" from the \"USB Network Adaptors\" section of \"USB Support.\" I enter 04dd for the USBD Network idVendor and 8004 for the USBD Network idProdoct. Everything looks fine.

Save and exit the config menu.

make clean dep modules modules_install

modprobe usbcore, usb-uhci and usbdnet

When I hook up the Zaurus SL5600 to connect, I get error messages, and it says:
 usb.c: USB device XX (vend/prod 0x4dd/2x8006) is not claimed...

Running less /proc/bus/usb/devices shows the following lines:
P:  Vendor=04dd ProdID=8006 Rev= 0.00
S:  Manufacturer=Sharp
S:  Product=SL-5600

Again, it\'s showing ProdID as 8006 when I entered (several times) as 8004.

In my /var/log/messages I get this line:
Oct 21 18:07:33 gregkedro /etc/hotplug/usb.agent: Setup acm for USB product 4dd/8006/0

Again, 8006 and not 8004.

Can\'t ping. Can\'t connect. Can\'t sync. I have fought with this stinkin thing all day long, and this is the only thing I have come up with that might be causing the problem. Just won\'t work. Help?

Looks like the howto needs updating. It seems the 5600 has a product ID of 8006 and not 8004 like the 5500. Try entering 8006 when you configure the kernel and compile.

The IDs come from the USB interface with the device, so your 5600 is telling the computer it has a product ID of 8006, when you\'ve been telling the kernel it is 8004.

Thanks. I\'ll give that a try today!

Thanks, again. This I did not know. That helps... to calm me down a little bit (I was livid with this yesterday).

BTW, when I made the first post I was for some reason logged out of this forum. The original \"guest\" post is mine (gregkedro).

I appreciate your help greatly.

Hello,
I run Suse 8.2 Pro and use the zaurus with it.  Suse Linux provide some help on this and one of the things that they suggest is to make sure that acm and CDEther are on your usbblacklist.  Loading these modules will prevent the usbnet module from correctly loading, well..this is if you are using hotplug.

I think Greg solved this a while ago in another thread by using kernel 2.4.22 and the usbnet module as the usbdnet module does not support the SL-5600.
