Hi all,
I'm having problems getting Linux to drive my EPP
adapter properly. First of all I should say that if I
put a MS-DROS boot floppy in and run the Flexnet EPP
driver up then I can communicate OK from BCT, so this
kinda proves I've got a genuine EPP port.
However, I've had no luck with either the baycom_epp
kernel module or the user mode driver from the Baycom
site. My observations are:
KERNEL DRIVER:
To get the kernel driver to hook up with the parport
driver I have to disconnect the EPP adapter, load the
parport_pc module, reconnect the EPP adapter then load
the EPP module. Unless I do this then parport_pc
driver
doesn't see the EPP capability of the port. Once the
interface is up, packets never come out the h/w even
though listen -a shows them going.
USERMODE DRIVER:
Even if I disconnect the EPP adapter before loading
the parport_pc module (to get EPP mode recognised)
the usermode driver seems to ask the parport_pc driver
to report capabilities, which are shown in messages as
SPP, PS2 with EPP and ECP emulation. The usermode
driver then complains about an adapter timeout.
Any help please!
Jason
