how to use linksys usb10t and others with audrey (modified 0 times) codeman Profile | Email ok i just did this on my linksys usb10t but should work with other kawi usb adapters .. all you have to do is change the vender and prod id in the eeprom so here we go on a windows box 8( goto http://www.klsi.com/drivers/index.htm and download qttools.zip unzip it in windows and edit qtprog.inf and add this line with the others (this is the vendor and prod number for linksys usb10t) %String29%=QTProg,USB\VID_066b&PID_2202 now plug in you usb adapter and when i looks for the driver point it to the qttools dir and it will load the qtprog driver then run macparse.exe and click read eeprom button click the allow change mfg info box then change the vid to 0506 and change the pid to 03e8 (3com id numbers) you can chage the manufacturer and prod name if you like does not matter and last click write eeprom and wait for it to finish click read eeprom again to make sure it did reprogram.. plug it into you audrey and get on the net !! codeman 09-03-2001 19:15:36

RE:how to use linksys usb10t and others with audrey (modified 0 times) keith721 Profile codeman: Nice job !! I'm sure lots of Audrey users will appreciate this one. Do you think we have any chance with 10/100 USB adapters, using a similar method? Have you seen the following page: cross-reference for USB Ethernet adapters that includes Vendor, Product, VendorID, ProductID, USB chip, PHY chip, and BSD drivers information. http://www.hiru.aoba.yokohama.jp/~ura/USB/usbether.html 09-03-2001 19:28:24

RE:how to use linksys usb10t and others with audrey (modified 1 times) rdoyle720 Profile This isn't working for me. I downloaded the file, unzipped it to the desktop. I added the line you said right after the other 29 line. I then plugged it in, and told it to look for the driver in my qttools desktop folder. It keeps saying it can't find the driver. Do I need to do something else? Do I need to have the original driver installed beforehand? 09-03-2001 20:27:51

RE:how to use linksys usb10t and others with audrey (modified 1 times) rdoyle720 Profile Yes, my USB Adapter is a Linksys, and on the back it says model USB10T Can I put that line anywhere?

RE:how to use linksys usb10t and others with audrey (modified 0 times) codeman Profile | Email i just left the other ones there you can try to delete them also read the .doc file in the zip do you know how old it is ?? i read some of the usb10t used the pegasus chip so you have to double check the chip set (open it up) or if you have a linux box where you can double check the mfg and prod id's codeman 09-03-2001 20:52:35

RE:how to use linksys usb10t and others with audrey (modified 0 times) rdoyle720 Profile I got it about a year ago....on the back at the end of the serial number it says ver3.2 if that helps. Do you know what line I would have to add if it's an older model? 09-03-2001 20:55:29

RE:how to use linksys usb10t and others with audrey (modified 0 times) codeman Profile | Email the one i have does not say ver3.2 on the back you may have the newer model with a pegasus chip.. and if it has the pegasus chip i dont think it will work.. codeman 09-03-2001 21:00:09

RE:how to use linksys usb10t and others with audrey (modified 0 times) Underdog Profile Do you think this hack would work for a Linksys WUSB11 - USB Wireless Adapter? What are the specifics that I would have to put in for VID and PID in the following line: %String29%=QTProg,USB\VID_066b&PID_2202 Also, when I run macparse.exe, do I still cange the vid to 0506 and the pid to 03e8 (for 3com)? ~Underdog 09-09-2001 15:42:33

BEWARE--I think I've ruined my USB to Ethernet (modified 0 times) laserfan Profile I followed the procedure to change the eeprom in my Netgear EA101. All had gone <apparently> well but after I did the "Write EEPROM", after which I got a Done and was apparently successful, clicking Read EEPROM caused macparse to freeze and I had to CTL-ALT-DEL and terminate the process. Now when I plug-in the Netgear it PNP's as a "Universal Serial Bus controller" "I2C" not a Network Adapter, and macparse no longer sees it. Maybe it has something to do with my PC's built-in NIC? Anyone have ideas for me? Thinking maybe now for macparse to work I've added the 3Com ID numbers to qtprog.inf, and tried to force the install back to IT (it's string31), but this has not worked, it still appears as a USB controller, not an adapter. 09-11-2001 20:59:03

Need help! (modified 0 times) laserfan Profile My USB to Ethernet device now looks like a "Blank I2C" and a "USB Controller" not an Enet adapter after trying macparse.exe. Dead sho nuff. I suspect that I might be able to recover this device if I could get a new .bin file to write to its EEPROM. Can someone whose adapter uses the KLSI KL5KUSB101B run macparse and WRITE their .BIN file out for me and email it (File menu, WRITE .BIN File)? If my guess is right, my adapter (a Netgear EA101) can become a Linksys or anything that has the same chip, even the 3Com. I would READ this file and then write it to my EEPROM. Can someone help? Codeman? Email to laserfan who happens to be at aol dot com. Many TIA. 09-11-2001 22:05:52

RE:how to use linksys usb10t and others with audrey (modified 0 times) laserfan Profile Has anyone gotten this procedure to work? I am going to buy another Netgear but would love to hear from anyone who's tried this besides codeman, or who knows anything about qtools. 09-12-2001 09:18:03

Ruined my Netgear EA101; epilog (modified 0 times) laserfan Profile I did get an email from Codeman with a .bin file to try, and IT WORKED, thanks! At least it worked insofar as it did appear to recover my Netgear EA101, for a time anyway. Unfortunately, in the meantime I had bought another EA101, and, not content to leave well enough alone, I persisted to attempt to get the new Netgear's EEPROM dumped to a .bin file, so that I could use IT to repair my other (repaired "Linksys nee Netgear") original dongle. But I screwed it up royally this time! I wanted to Read the EEPROM from my new EA101, and then Save it as a .bin file but it didn't seem to work--I'd get a binary file that appeared to be the right length, but then it was empty i.e. zeros. Seemed like it should be as simple as using macparse to READ EEPROM and the WRITE BIN FILE. But I couldn't get it to work, which was frustrating since clearly Codeman did it no problem with his Linksys. I tried several means to get my factory-fresh EA101 to write-out a good binary file, finally got one that looked right but was too long (decided I had to edit it slightly) and well the bottom line is that in attempting to fix my 101 by downloading a new binary file to it, I caused it not to be recognized by Win98 at all anymore. Plugging it in did not result even in detection of the device anymore. Now it was REALLY dead, so I have to replace it. I learned about QTools along the way, and I2C also, but have to caution others to be careful w/this tool as if you have a problem (and various of the tools froze on me on several occasions), dealing with the driver(s) & whatnot is nontrivial. I've tried to reconstruct how this happened originally--I don't think codeman's instructions were at fault, I may have used the "Update" button incorrectly, is all I can think of, because there are no docs for macparse.exe and I think "Update" actually may flash the s/n & mac & vendor ID & prod ID by itself. Not sure it's necessary to "Write EEPROM" but maybe codeman knows exactly how this works & will post something here. In the meantime I'm going to replace my dead Netgear EA101 with another, and despite the problems above, I think I've learned enough about QTools to risk trying the procedure "one more time", to get my Netgear to work w/my Audrey (the other one is for my i-opener!). I'll report of course if I have better luck next time. If not, you may never hear from me again!!!! 09-13-2001 09:59:02

RE:how to use linksys usb10t and others with audrey (modified 0 times) asjunk Profile Just wanted to confirm that I was able to make this work today without any serious problems. When I ran the macparser file in Win2k, it didn't work, but it worked fine under Windows 98. Windows 2000 didn't recognize the "fake device" driver, so perhaps that was the problem. Any update on whether this would work with one of the wireless USB adapters, such as Linksys' WUSB11? ASJUNK 09-13-2001 18:18:16

RE:how to use linksys usb10t and others with audrey (modified 0 times) keith721 Profile probably not...i believe that the WUSB11 is based on the Intersil Prism2 chipset, which is a *completely* different animal from the Kawasaki LSI chip used in the 3C19250 and similar KLSI devices. on the other hand, if we can locate a good Linux driver for the WUSB11/Prism2, then it may be portable to QNX... just my two cents worth. keith721 09-13-2001 18:40:13

I have now been successful also. (modified 0 times) laserfan Profile I did today acquire another Netgear EA101 and changing the VID and PID took 2 minutes this time. I have some suggestions which may simplify things slightly for some of you: 1. In addition to adding the %String% info for your adapter, also add a %String% with the 3Com data i.e. %String30%=QTProg,USB\VID_0506&PID_03e8 2. Now run macparse, click Read EEPROM, and select "Allow Change of Mfgr Info" as codeman has said. 3. Click on (select) "Keep new VID/PID" (note the Update button appears to the left of "Read EEPROM") 4. Also change the Product name. In my case, I put in "Modified Netgear Adapter" 5. Click now on Update (not "Write EEPROM"). After a second or two you'll see a "Write EEPROM" message in the window to the left; you are done! Now quit macparse and unplug the adapter. Plug it back in--it should be recognized and will appear as your Product Name (in my case "Modified Netgear Adapter"). As an aside, notice that if you ever intend to use this modified adapter w/your PC you'll have to delete the qtprog.inf driver and load the correct driver for your device. I haven't done this to mine, but imagine you'd have to force the correct driver if the new VID/PID confuses Windows. Now I have next to prove that the Netgear works with my virgin Audrey! 09-13-2001 18:44:09

It works!!! (modified 0 times) laserfan Profile ...with my Netgear EA101! Not a hiccup, Audrey found the ethernet and came-up immediately. I must thank Codeman for providing this tip! Especially given that as best as I can tell Qtools are a well-kept secret unless you're a developer i.e. there don't seem to me to be many references out there to the klsi site, and the docs are sufficiently bad that, well, I'd certainly never have found this on my own! Browsing away, now I hafta search this board to find out how to get my @home mail service to work, and why my Channels don't work. But thanks again to codeman. 09-13-2001 19:39:27

RE:how to use linksys usb10t and others with audrey (modified 0 times) ranman Profile I tried what codeman did, but initially did not succeed. Each time I tried it, the macparse program would crash (on 3 different win me computers and 1 windows 98) before it was able to complete rewriting the data. Then I tried placing some info in the manufacturer and prod name and it worked on one of the win me computers. I have no idea why that would make a difference but it did. Plugged it into to the audrey and it worked. However, I think it will only work for revision of the adapter below 3.0. I have one version 2.1 and one version 3.0. I probably won't test that theory as I am currently using the 3.0 for my compaq ia-1 and don't want to possibly make it unusable. ranman 09-15-2001 21:19:20

RE:how to use linksys usb10t and others with audrey (modified 0 times) suicidal Profile I used codeman's procedure to change two Netgear EA101s and it worked great. Just one note, this will change the MAC address of the adapter unless you read the eprom and type in the current MAC address (listed as S/N in the output). Most people won't care but my firewall tends to complain when I switch MAC addresses on the fly. -suicidal 09-16-2001 19:13:50

RE:how to use linksys usb10t and others with audrey (modified 0 times) drewbyh Profile The Linksys WUSB11 uses the Atmel chipset so the above util won't work. :( oh well. You can still find the USB10T on ebay if you have your heart set on that one. 09-17-2001 16:14:22

RE:how to use linksys usb10t and others with audrey (modified 0 times) keith721 Profile drewbyh: where'd you find chipset information on the Linksys WUSB11? Just wondering, as I have a couple of these already, and haven't been able to find this sort of thing, anywhere. keith721 09-17-2001 18:01:01

RE:how to use linksys usb10t and others with audrey (modified 0 times) drewbyh Profile keith721, I took one apart and read the label on the chip. :) Pretty straight forward. Atmel's website is www.atmel.com 09-17-2001 19:16:44

RE:how to use linksys usb10t and others with audrey (modified 1 times) GeordieCA Profile Fry's in Fremont,CA are selling the Netgear EA101 for $19.95. It says refurbished on the box. I had a bad time time trying to get macparse to work. I appear to have a dead unit now. Does anybody know these answers? - How do you get an image off and onto one of these things? I assume it is through one of the other qtools. - I see references to small & large I2C. What's the definition. - Can somebody email me a .bin image and I can see if I can save myself a trip back to Fry's. It wouldn't be so bad if the machine didn't crash everytime it can't read the thing perfectly. One more thing before anybody else spends a few hours trying, Win 2000 & Win XP will NOT work with these adapters. Stick to 9X. Regards 09-20-2001 10:52:32

RE:how to use linksys usb10t and others with audrey (modified 0 times) asjunk Profile It appears I may have spoken too soon. My Linksys usb10t works -- mostly. However, I have a strange problem. While the adapter works fine for uploading materials from the Audrey, the download speeds are horrible -- around 5k/s. This is a slight problem since I wanted to use it as an MP3 player and can't get MP3s to stream properly! Does anyone have any suggestions on why the download speeds would be around 5k/s while upload speeds are about 50 times as fast? Is there anything I can tweak (either on the Audrey or the USB adapter) to take care of this problem? Thanks! ASJUNK 09-20-2001 13:37:45

RE:how to use linksys usb10t and others with audrey (modified 0 times) LordJohnWhorfin Profile No luck with a D-Link DSB 650. I couldn't even get the driver to install right until I had the idea to plug it into my Mac, and Apple System Profiler gave me the VID/PID codes. The PID is 0xabc1 (not 0x4000). After changing this the qttools driver installed without problems, but macparse reports errors reading the EEPROM. The adapter itself works fine (I just verified that on another machine). Has anybody had success with this adapter? 09-26-2001 18:09:35

RE:how to use linksys usb10t and others with audrey (modified 0 times) keith721 Profile note that the linux source code quoted by codeman above explicitly references "D-Link DSB-650C", not just "DSB-650". it wouldn't be unusual at all for hardware revisions (like changing EEPROM suppliers) to cause incompatibilities between the DSB-650A, B, and C when attempting to flash these units. maybe you can find out exactly which revision of the board is inside your adapter? keith721 09-26-2001 18:38:31

DSB650 (modified 1 times) LordJohnWhorfin Profile Keith, thanks for the help. Here's what I can read on the board: M01-UFE1K-A30. There's a Pegasus AN986 chip, a Delta LF82710007, and a Broadcom BCM5201KPT/CT001381 P/5686, and not much else. So, doc, is there any hope? Otherwise I'll try to grab a Netgear at Fry's before they run out :) Thanks! 09-26-2001 23:20:11

RE:how to use linksys usb10t and others with audrey (modified 0 times) keith721 Profile LordJohnWhorfin: There's your answer. The Pegasus chip is an *ENTIRELY* different animal than the Kawasaki LSI chip, and therefore, the driver is entirely different. The default Audrey USB Ethernet driver isn't going to work with a Pegasus chipset. It might be possible to locate a Pegasus driver for QNX, but it probably won't be for QNX 6.0, and the QNX 6.1 io-net is quite different. Without an extreme amount of hacking, the Pegasus adapter is not a likely success. sorry... keith721 09-27-2001 14:19:51

RE:how to use linksys usb10t and others with audrey (modified 0 times) Sowbug Profile This worked fine for me with a Netgear EA101. I had trouble with Win2K and gave up, and then had success with a Windows ME box. I had never plugged the adapter into this particular computer before. After doing codeman's original steps (omitting the editing of the file because it already has NetGear listed in it), I unplugged the device and plugged it back in again. At this point it called the adapter a "0" device, which had me worried that I'd ruined it (I think this was what laserfan was talking about as far as giving the device a new name), but then I plugged it into my Audrey and it worked. I haven't tried performance profiling yet, but it quite definitely recognizes the device. 09-27-2001 18:06:00

RE:how to use linksys usb10t and others with audrey (modified 0 times) LordJohnWhorfin Profile Keith, thanks much for the help. I was so convinced that I had a supported model that even reading "Pegasus" off the chip (instead of Kawa) didn't make me click. I must have been running low on caffeine :) Well, I guess it's off to Fry's in search of a Netgear... 09-28-2001 00:23:02

dsb-650c bin file (modified 0 times) audreygirl Profile | Email I got a dsb-650c and I was able to successfully update the eeprom.

RE:how to use linksys usb10t and others with audrey (modified 0 times) bodybag Profile It's a long shot... I tried this procedure on a Netgear EA101. The Netgear is now not recognised *at all* by Windows 98 (or the lsusb command under Linux). As macparse can't see it, I can't reprogram it. Has anyone managed to salvage the Netgear from this state? If worse came to worse I could desolder the eeprom, program a new one, and resolder it. I would, however, like to try any other options first though! I've another EA101 on the way (for my other Audrey) - but I want to be absolutely sure of the procedure before I try this technique on that one. Thanks, Bodybag. 10-22-2001 14:42:19

RE:how to use linksys usb10t and others with audrey (modified 0 times) laserfan Profile Bodybag, I killed my 101 and could not recover it. Tried hard but failed; I got a new one. Regarding trying this on your new 101, I suggested above that "Write EEPROM" was not necessary, only "Update". This worked for me, and is I believe less risky than the "Write" command which I presume re-writes the whole shebang. 10-22-2001 17:36:46

RE:how to use linksys usb10t and others with audrey (modified 0 times) briker206 Profile I was going to get 2 refurb 101s but the 12 bucks for shipping is almost as much as the 2 adapters together. Seems outrageous to me. And that price was the cheapest ground! 10-24-2001 06:30:57

RE:how to use linksys usb10t and others with audrey (modified 0 times) bodybag Profile Hazzah! Okay, I put on my Dr.Frankenstein gloves and brought my Netgear back to life Basically, I took it apart and shorted pins 5&6 of the eeprom (U1 on the PCB) together while I plugged it into the USB socket. These are the SCL and SDA pins - this got the poor thing confused (as I'd hoped) making it think it was a blank I2C eeprom. Once it was recognised I could use macparse and the linksys binary above, changed the vendor id etc, and reprogrammed it. VOILA - My Audrey recognised it, and all was well in the world 10-24-2001 14:41:42

RE:how to use linksys usb10t and others with audrey (modified 0 times) bodybag Profile Sorry - It's late. That, of course, should of been pins 6 & 7 (the middle two pins on the opposite side to the dot on the eeprom's body). 10-24-2001 14:50:36

RE:how to use linksys usb10t and others with audrey (modified 0 times) laserfan Profile Good grief! Bodybag, you have my admiration and respect, sir. Having killed my own Netgear, I'm impressed that you figured-out how to get Win to see it again. Congratulations... 10-24-2001 16:04:20

RE:how to use linksys usb10t and others with audrey (modified 0 times) squinch Profile So I was tooling around QNX's website, and found some info about the Pegasus chipset driver.

RE:how to use Netgear ea101c and others with audrey (modified 0 times) richlew Profile I'm not giving up yet at trying to get a Netgear ea101c (tech support says there is no such thing or it is the same as a ea101, forget what the box says) working. I took a look inside and the chip says KL5USB101BLC. My problems seem to be getting the QTTOOLS to work. In my next attempt, I'll put the qtools.ini file into the windows directory, but I don't think that'll eliminate the "The specified location does not contain information about your hardware" a Select Device window says when I have to direct Windows to qttools.sys after showing it qttools.inf. I stopped modifying qtprog.inf after discovering the lines were already there and tried adding the additional lines with the 3Com data as I switched between 3 different machines. Just a tip in response to an earlier question, don't let Windows at the regular installation process, you'd have to deep clean to get the machine to respond with the P-N-P message. Macparse never read the eprom and never wrote either. I tried all the variables I could think of except the .ini file and I am looking for a clue so I can get on with the program. I got the "give us more money and pay more shipping and we'll send a working alternative" message from a vendor. This path is ok, muddy, and still interesting enough - I'm encouraged by the focus and dedication of this rather amazing communication community around this device.

RE:how to use linksys usb10t and others with audrey (modified 0 times) billbert Profile ok. i got my audrey yesterday and in a rush i ran out and grabbed a d-link DSB-650 (not the 'C' version). I get home and start reading this thread and see that people were finding out that their's had pegasus chipsets. I opened it up but cannot find any reference to either pegasus or kawasaki anywhere on the inside. The are 2 main chips, 1 marked sic3-0861, the other sic3-0200. i thought "OK just use this on my laptop, get another for Audrey." When I installed it on the laptop the driver from the included floppy said "Aten USB Ethernet". This caught my eye as I saw Aten mentioned in the list above. Thinking it is probably too much conincidence that another Aten and D-Link used the same drivers, I edited the qtprog.inf as per the instructions given here and ran macparse. I was able to read the EEPROM and reprogram it with 3COM's information. On the Audrey, the adapter is detected. I set my IP, nameservers, and gateway, then rebooted. Damn, at this point I am happy. Unfortunately, I cannot hit any websites whatsoever. Weird thing is that I can sit on any other machine in the hosue and ping Audrey....this leads me to believe that I do have a working network adapter with the Kawasaki chip. I do have a Linux box available to try to find out info on it (i read somewhere you can do this) but I have no idea how. Can anyone help me out? tnx, will 11-03-2001 11:59:11

RE:how to use linksys usb10t and others with audrey (modified 0 times) zimmer62 Profile | Email will, it seems to be a little slower than pinging my desktop machine, 5-10ms to the Audrey, 2ms to the desktop, but this should make the pages look like 14.4, I also have the 3com usb ethernet card and I get the exact same results. Sure browsing the web is a little slower on the Audrey, but not 14.4, my guess is my speed problems are due to the Audreys hardware and memory limitations. Pinging from my Audrey to an outside address I get the exact same results as when I ping from my desktop to the same outside host. I can only guess that you might have a different issue. Try swaping the network cables from the Audrey to your desktop, sometimes cables will still work, but get very low throughput. Joe 11-05-2001 20:17:48

RE:how to use linksys usb10t and others with audrey (modified 0 times) sonofaglitch Profile I have trolled on here since the original I-Opener hack, and thought it is time to start contributing. I am no codeman (bows to codeman) but I know a bit... !!Here is a guide for all those having trouble flashing their adapters:!! 1. Windows 2000 doesn't seem to have the right COM code that QTTOOLS can talk to so use Windows 98 if at all possible. (Some have gotten Windows ME to work) 2. Most problems stem from having the wrong VID/PID combination, check and doublecheck your settings! 3. Notice the readme - remember to RTFM! It states to copy the QTTOOLS INI file to your windows directory. 4. Once your device is recognized, hit READ EEPROM first!!! Make sure it can read your chips before writing EEPROM willy-nilly. If it reads OK then it is time to write the puppy. 5. Have a BIN file handy in case something goes wrong. 6. As with any EEPROM writing, make sure you are on battery backup (UPS) if you loose power you can screw your chip. 7. Shut down anything that is consuming resources, if you are low on resources and windows hangs, you can screw your chip. 8. Make sure you check - Change Manufacturers code (or whatever it says on that box) 9. Make sure you type in the correct 3COM code as codeman states. 10. Your done. If you follow these steps you shouldn't have ANY problems. Troubleshooting: Is your USB adapter using the right chipset? = No - get a different adapter Not all chipsets are supported, check first and write later. 01-13-2002 14:35:25

RE:how to use linksys usb10t and others with audrey (modified 0 times) DaveZ Profile I think it needes to be stressed that you must use Windows 98 (or ME as others have reported) with the qtools utility and the Netgear EA101.

RE:how to use linksys usb10t and others with audrey (modified 0 times) adam714 Profile OK, got it working. And i did it on XP. here's the deal. I found a different version of qtprog.inf at http://www.ivor.org/audrey/ However, this did not work initially. I had to modify it by combining it with the original qtprog.inf that comes with qttools. after that, i then installed the adapter according to the method described on the boards. Then i DL'd the linksys.bin file from http://www.linux-hacker.net/downloads/linksys.bin. Then, instead of using macparse, fire up qtexercz. Go Configure->Comm->select USB. In the right hand pane, select the linksys.bin file that you downloaded above. Then, press Program Small I2C. When done, do a read to verify and voila!
