Hi Greg,
Indeed I must have somehow forgotten to reboot properly, in the sequence
of selecting , downloading, installing.
While testing with another USB device, it suddenly worked. and revering
back to the first one, it also still worked , and a third one also.
So I can only imagine the reboot has been done on the wrong moments :-(
, it must have been to late to have proper concentration.
BTW the chip/driver is different from what I expected :
Code:
--------------------
[ 20.403141] sr9700 1-1:1.0 (unnamed net_device) (uninitialized): Error
reading MAC address
[ 20.403773] usbcore: registered new interface driver sr9700
[ 20.480047] brcmfmac: power management disabled
[ 20.490109] dm9601 1-1:1.0 eth0: register 'dm9601' at usb-20980000.usb-1,
Davicom DM96xx USB 10/100 Ethernet, 00:e0:4c:53:44:58
[ 20.500395] usbcore: registered new interface driver dm9601
[ 20.568734] brcmfmac: power management disabled
[ 23.326369] dm9601 1-1:1.0 eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0xFFFF
--------------------
The chip initialises at "full-speed" USB = 12 Mbits and has no MAC
address in the chip, and probably takes a fallback one from the driver.
Other web sources list these limitations too, so I guess that is just
the Chinese design, included in the 3 euro deal.
Do now I have 3 ! usb nics that all 'work' as long I do not trust on
plain DHCP, using them at the same time, or need HD audio streams over
the wired connection.
I hope this listing will help others to avoid the chipset, or at least
limit wasted time on the MAC and throughput limitations.
Thanks for your support.
Regards M-H
