Hi,
I've been spending quite a bit of time lately getting my little usb-to-usb network to work (using usbnet.c). I evertually got it working with the help of people from this list (thanks again), and thought I'd share my findings. System: 2.4.18 on both systems, with pentium-class CPU's. I've tried so far 3 cables (fourth on it's way), and I could not get any to work properly, until I compiled the kernel with the other of the 2 available UHCI drivers. For some reason I had initially selected the UHCI_ALT driver, and it proved to be the root of my problems. When I changed to UHCI, things looked much better (not perfect though) *cable 1, based on Prolific PL2302 (Vendor:067b, prodID:0001) does not work with either UHCI driver. when hotplugged things look fine, /proc/bus/usb/devices/ provides the right info, but I can not ifconfig usb0. It always throws the following error: SIOCSIFFLAGS: Broken Pipe *cable 2, Genesys logic GL620USB (GeneLink) (Vendor:05e3, prodID:0502) does not work properly with UHCI_ALT driver. when hotplugged things look fine, /proc/bus/usb/devices/ provides the right info, ifconfig usb0 works ok also, but the connection is very very slow, with packets being constantly dropped (ping throws a packet loss of te order of +90%. However, it works fine if I compile UHCI driver *cable 3, again based on Prolific, but PL2301 chip (Vendor:067b, prodID:0000) same as with cable 2 I am curently expecting a Belkin cable to try and compare. Hope it is of help to somebody out there. Ta.
