Usb Ethernet Adapter
« on: May 13, 2005, 01:04:35 pm »
Hi

I was thinking of the option of getting a usb ethernet adapter instead of a CF ethernet adapter. In this way, you could use your CF slot for other purposes  
Has anyone been successfull with this, and if so, which product did you use?

Just orderet my SL-6000 - awaiting it eagerly

you'll need the appropriate kernel modules.

Is that all?

If so, still I need to figure out which adapters will work under these kernel modules...

Has anyone tried this before?

I got it working with a rtl8150 based chipset. It comes with the driver module c source but there are precompiled modules available on the net for the Z.  rtl8150.o is what you need. Mine is for the C3000, but modules for other Zs are probably even easier to find.

Thank you for the info!
Unfortunately, I simply cannot find (google) any adapters based on this chip. Somehow vendors don't care about specifying which chips are inside their (network) adapters..

Anyone knows if one of theese adapters carries such a chip? :

Typhoon SpeedNet Mini USB 10/100 Adapter
Linksys EtherFast 10/100 Compact USB Network Adapter
MicroNetwork 10/100 USB-adapter
Sitecom USB to Fast Ethernet Adapter

Theese are very small adapters, making them quite nice

might be better to find the chipsets in the devices you are looking at, then look to see if you can build 'em in the kernel sources for your z setup (or ask if anyone else had)
