Belkin Usb To Lan Adapter

[darkloran]

Hi all,

  i've recently bought an USB to LAN adapter for use with my sl-c3000. I run sharp rom 1.11 and tetsu's kernel v17h. Unfortunately, module "pegasus.o" which is needed is not compiled with the kernel.

I'm wondering what's the simplest and fastest way to get it... i could :
- ask someone to compile it ?
- compile it on my zaurus ? but how ?
- cross-compile it on my linux box... well since i've not set up a cross-compiling environment yet, i don't  feel it would be the fastest...

any idea ?

since i was happy to test this... i have installed the cross-compiling environment in less than 10 minutes. Then i've compiled the modules in another 10 minutes and installed my module on my zaurus.

did a

Code: [Select]

# cp pegasus.o /lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/usb/
  # depmod -a
then created /etc/hotplug/usb/pegasus

Code: [Select]

 #!/bin/bash
  ./etc/hotplug/hotplug.functions
  
    ifconfig eth0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx up  
    if [ $? = 0]; then
        ln -s pegasus.off $REMOVER
    fi
and /etc/hotplug/usb/pegasus.off

Code: [Select]

 #!/bin/bash
  ./etc/hotplug/hotplug.functions
  
    ifconfig eth0 downthe module joined was compiled with Sharp ROM 1.01 kernel sources

the eth0 interface shows up correctly with the ip address i configured.
I currently have no way to test physical connection... i will tonight

ok, i've had opportunity to test it and it's ok ! i just have to fix the above script to use DHCP

The above driver have version 0.4.26 and doesn't support some newer chips.  I've compiled (see an attachment) more recent version 0.4.32 and tested it with ADM8513 based board on tetsu's v18a kernel.  Installation procedure are the same.  Below is the list of cards supported by this driver:

I've found that netswitch package works fairly well (the above hotplug code not needed), but sometimes USB card fails on resume (cacko rom 1.23b1).  The following simple code placed in to /usr/bin/netresume allows manual restart:

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh

rmmod usb-monitor
insmod usb-monitorIn addition, symlink added to /etc/apm.d/resume.d do this automatically:

Code: [Select]

ln -s /usr/bin/netresume R50usbnet

I'll include this and the pegasus driver into the netswitch package to make it even simpler for other users.

That would be nice indeed.

darkloran,
Just got a USB GPS and I guess I need this driver but I have no clue what to do with the pegasus.o file.  I'm used to ipk files.  How do I install this on my C1000 running Cacko 1.23???
Also,  the pegasus text file is filled with strange symbols...what do I do with that?

Thanks in advance.
