Problems with USB ethernet in Linux
Problems with USB ethernet in Linux

I've had an iopener for quite a while now but I haen't had time to play with it until recently. I have installed an IDE drive and RedHat 6.2 onto the iopener. I have also compiled kernel 2.2.18. I'm having trouble getting a SMC EZNET 10/100 USB ethernet controller to work.

I have compiled the following modules:
pegasus.o
uhci.o
usb-uhci.o

After booting I log in as root and run the following commands:
insmod /lib/modules/2.2.18/usb/usb-uhci.o
insmod /lib/modules/2.2.18/usb/pegasus.o
ifconfig eth0 inet 192.168.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.0
route add default gateway 192.168.1.1 eth0

After doing this I get the green light on the LINK/ACT LED on hte USB -> ethernet adapter.
This should make me able to ping my own IP, the gateway IP, or any outside IP. I can't. When I ping any IP address including my own it gets no response. I do see the activity light flash on the adapter but I get 0% response on all packets sent.

Also, when I rmmod usb-uhci I get the following:
usb-uhci.c: interrupt, status 20, frame #0
usb-uhci.c: interrupt, status 20, frame #0
usb-uhci.c: interrupt, status 20, frame #0
usb-uhci.c: interrupt, status 20, frame #0
...
usb-uhci.c: interrupt, status 20, frame #0
usb-uhci.c: interrupt, status 20, frame #0
dev_close: bug eth0 still running

I have also tried using the uhci.o module in place of usb-uhci.o but I get the same response.

Is there anyone here who has seen this problem before? Can anyone please make a suggestion?

Thanks!
Terry

Yo jack -

What does your routing look like? Use
/sbin/route, you should see:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
default 192.168.1.10 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0

Are you getting "network unreachable"?

It sounds like USB is up, the pegasus driver
"claims" the adaptor, flashing lights. Have
you tried enabling further debug for pegasus?

I'm running 2.2.16-22 via RedHat 7.0. Any
info on what's different for 2.2.18?

Hope I can help...
