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?)
Please folks, what do I need to do next to get in on the network?
Thanks.
Andy.

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.

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.
Hi everyone,
Thanks for all of the replies.
I should point out that I'm using the kernel, rootfs and pbl mentioned in the wiki... http://the.earth.li/pub/e3/2.6.15/rootfs.arm_nofpu.ext2.gz http://the.earth.li/pub/e3/2.6.15/u-boot.bin http://the.earth.li/pub/e3/2.6.16/uImage-2.6.16-omap2-e3 http://the.earth.li/pub/e3/2.6.16/linux.pbl
ifconfig -a just shows the loopback device so it seems that something funny is going on. When I did a search for ADM8515 linux I found a link to the file pegasus.h which suggests that the pegasus driver can cut-it with this chip-set. Do you think I'm reading this correctly?
My assumption was that if the kernel had the modules loaded and I plugged the drive in, it should show up somewhere but ipconfig doesn't spot it. Do I need to do something else?
Thanks for the input, it's nice to be welcomed :-)
All the best.
Andy.

Are you booting the device with the usb dongle already connected? I've found that my usb network dongle doesn't get recognised like that, but if I put it in after the e3 has booted, it goes off and does all the things it should do - registers the device, loads the drivers, and grabs in ip by dhcp. I don't profess to know why it works like that, but it does ;) My usb network dongle is pegasus based too.
(sorry for overuse of the word dongle)
Cheers,
Dave
