Howdy: I'm trying to get the Zaurus USB cradle to talk to my Linux desktop (the desktop runs redhat 7.2, kernel 2.4.7-10, while the Zaurus runs kernel 2.4.6). I've never used any usb stuff before, so I've only got a few hours of reading/trying things under my belt. Based on what I've read so far, it seems like it ought to work (but I could be wrong). I've verified that all the modules seem to be loaded on the desktop, and the Zaurus has the interface up and running, at least ifconfig shows both the loopback and usbd0 devices up and running, the latter with an IP of 192.168.1.201. Let me know if I'm going off track...
On the desktop side, I tried following the iPAQ networking howto, and I can load the usbnet module: [root@rama root]# lsmod Module Size Used by CDCEther 8512 0 (unused) acm 5376 0 (unused) usbnet 6960 0 (unused) emu10k1 47680 0 (autoclean) soundcore 4176 4 (autoclean) [emu10k1] binfmt_misc 6224 1 autofs 10784 0 (autoclean) (unused) tulip 39136 1 floppy 47088 0 (autoclean) usb-uhci 21488 0 (unused) usbcore 51008 1 [CDCEther acm usbnet usb-uhci] ext3 63184 2 jbd 40096 2 [ext3] BusLogic 88416 4 sd_mod 11392 4 scsi_mod 93072 2 [BusLogic sd_mod] Both the CDCEther and acm modules appear to load automatically when I plug the Zaurus into the cradle. I tried loading the usbnet module both before and after plugging in the Zaurus, with no luck. When it's plugged in, I get the following in my usb devices: [root@rama root]# more /proc/bus/usb/devices T: Bus=01 Lev=00 Prnt=00 Port=00 Cnt=00 Dev#= 1 Spd=12 MxCh= 2 B: Alloc= 0/900 us ( 0%), #Int= 0, #Iso= 0 D: Ver= 1.00 Cls=09(hub ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1 P: Vendor=0000 ProdID=0000 Rev= 0.00 S: Product=USB UHCI Root Hub S: SerialNumber=e000 C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=40 MxPwr= 0mA I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=09(hub ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=hub E: Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.)

All the references I've seen (including the iPAQ doc) say to use something like this to fire up the interface: ifconfig usb0 192.168.1.200 netmask 255.255.255.0 up After loading the usbnet module and plugging in the unit. However, I'm stuck like an idiot because I can't find any reference to a usb0 device on my system. I tried putting an alias in modules.conf pointing to the only things I could think of, first CDCEther, then usbnet, but no joy. I always get these results: [root@rama root]# ifconfig usb0 192.168.1.200 netmask 255.255.255.0 SIOCSIFADDR: No such device usb0: unknown interface: No such device SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device Is it as simple as creating a usb0 device? I looked, but I couldn't find any reference to a major/minor number for that. Do I link it against a different device? Am I completely insane? What is the velocity of an un-laden swallow? Any tips, pointers, flames would be better than what I've had so far - TIA, Steve ******************************************************* Steve Arnold http://arnolds.dhs.org:8080 Visit Steve's Geeky Zope thing today! _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-users
