On Linux ethernet devices don't get device nodes, so you won't see any network devices in /dev. Also, ifconfig will only show you configured ethernet devices (unless you ask it to show you them all); since your new USB device isn't configured, it's not showing up on the list.

What you need to do is:

ifconfig -a

...which will tell you the name of the network device, and then:

ifconfig [name] up [ipaddress] netmask [netmask] gw [gateway]

...to configure it. From there it ought to work, though you may need to tweak the routing table (use the 'route' command) and the DNS setup (/etc/resolv.conf) first.

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.
