Hi,

I have a smc2821usb adaper which has no support
on linux. Vendor 07b8 and ProdID=4006
(it doesn't work with kaweth driver)

The adapter uses HomePNA v 1.0 & 2.0.
The manufacturer, Smc, doesn't want to give specs
for their product.

We have decided to make this devel a project with
two of my friends. We disassembled the adapter
and we found:
    - KL5KUSB101B chip
        We think this controls the usb and also
        ethernet in some level

    - broadcom BCM4210KTF
        I found a binary driver from linksys
        for BCM42xx PCI-devices. The driver doesn't
        compile with 2.4.27-kernel and the documents
        say it supports only 2.4.17

    - The ISSI IS61LV256
        very high-speed, low power,
        32,768-word by 8-bit static RAM

Here are some pictures taken from the device:

    sorry about the bad quality. (videocamera)

I would like to make the driver we are building to work
with 2.6-kernel. If it's possible, also with 2.4.

We have tested SnoopyPro (from linux-usb.org) and it
gave us some binary info. How can we make this info
useful?

What should be our next steps in this project?

    Yours,
    Eero Heino
