Hello John, Thanks for your reply.
My original attempts at using the rndis driver weren't very sucessful: My kernel's built in rndis driver: --- SNIP ---- Nov 14 09:38:07 nox kernel: [52181.556776] usb 1-4.2: new full speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 22 Nov 14 09:38:07 nox kernel: [52181.651319] usb 1-4.2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Nov 14 09:38:07 nox kernel: [52181.756495] rndis_host: probe of 1-4.2:1.0 failed with error -110 --- SNIP ---- The RNDIS Lite driver from sourceforge: --- SNIP --- Nov 14 09:42:03 nox kernel: [52416.856180] usb 1-4.2: new full speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 26 Nov 14 09:42:03 nox kernel: [52416.950279] usb 1-4.2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Nov 14 09:42:03 nox kernel: [52417.035889] rndis_host: probe of 1-4.2:1.0 failed with error -110 --- SNIP --- I was a little confused as to which connection method I should be using, I never found a good comparison between the two. I decided to use the ipaq driver since the device did successfully connect. However if rndis is better I can try to get it working instead. As for odccm, I'll download the latest sources from SVN and give them a shot. I may have the time to do that tonight. Let me know if you want me to test your deb packages. ~Paul On Wednesday 14 November 2007 12:43:01 am John Carr wrote: > Hi > > I'm in the process of prepping jonnylambs debian packages for upload to > launchpad - they will (in theory) support every supported version of > Ubuntu. > > We strongly suggest trying to get odccm working.
