Hi,

I bought cheap no-name card on auction and I'm trying to make it work with N900 using h-e-n full speed hostmode. Card seems to be reconized but no interface is created.

Here is dmesg output:

Can some one help me to make it work?

Re: Usb NIC problem

Off-hand, I'd say the driver is missing from the kernel: even the power kernel doesn't have EVERYTHING compiled in it as it would eat too much memory and slow things down. If Titan or someone else can confirm it, this means you'll just have to compile your own kernel, assuming this driver will compile on ARM. You may also be able to get away with just compiling a module by itself in Scratchbox, Easy Debian, or (sounds hardest) cross-compiling openly in your Ubuntu box.

Re: Usb NIC problem

It was my first guess to. But this line makes me wonder:

Code:

[15321.781951] /home/builder2/maemo-fremantle-armel-extras-devel/work/kernel-power-2.6.28/drivers/usb/core/inode.c: creating file '075'

Do you know what this thing mean?

Re: Usb NIC problem

Can some one tell me how to find what kind of driver is my ubuntu using for that network card,
I would try to compile module then.

Re: Usb NIC problem

Try using lsmod?

you need dm9601.ko driver for Davicom . i tried compile for but i get error ( unknown symbol ) when insmod the module.
need more attention for that. when i will have some time i will try again. curiously on same setup i compiled pl2303.ko driver with success.

How to check it if it would be compiled in to kernel? I'm just courious.

Damn, if you have a probems with it i'll fail as well. I'm noob in driver stuff.
If you would successfully compile it can you post step by step instruction.

I'll try tommorow anyway.

Re: Usb NIC problem

When I tried out h-e-n with my Belkin USB ethernet adapter I found that I needed a cable plugged in and linked *before* applying vbus and enumerating:

Re: Usb NIC problem

connect the device (lan cable too), start h-e-n, high speed, vbus boost on, enumerate.
open terminal, and as root : udhcpc

Re: Usb NIC problem

@hardkorek here is your driver. i modprobe-it but not tested because i don't have davicom device
