Hi Folks,
I've just received my first E3 and I'm cramming up on the info trying to get going.
I've followed the info in the wiki about getting started and I get boot it up over the serial port now without a problem.
My next milestone is to get t nrtworking and this is where I'm coming adrift. I've got a USB-ethernet adapter that is based on the ADM8515 chipset. When I plug it in I see...
usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using ohci and address 3 usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
and that's all. I think that the driver for the Pegasus will work with this chipset (though I may be wrong).
dmesg gives me the following with regard to networking...
usbcore: registered new driver catc drivers/usb/net/catc.c: v2.8 CATC EL1210A NetMate USB Ethernet driver usbcore: registered new driver kaweth pegasus: v0.6.13 (2005/11/13), Pegasus/Pegasus II USB Ethernet driver usbcore: registered new driver pegasus drivers/usb/net/rtl8150.c: rtl8150 based usb-ethernet driver v0.6.2 (2004/08/27) usbcore: registered new driver rtl8150
So that's as far as I've got. I can't see /dev/eth0, which I would expect. ifconfig just shows my loopback device (should it show more?)
Umm never seen a /dev/ethx device ever so I think you assumption is wrong there ;) have you tried ifconfig -a ? If that says the device is not found it means /proc/sys/net does not contain a device (ethx , usbx , rausbx etc)
If it comes up with a valid interface then configure it by hand and see if it works.
ifconfig ethx <ip-address>
Don't forget to set up a route to your gateway either ,
route add default gw <gw-ip-add>
Let us know how you get on.
