Re: USB NIC problem. A quick Google left me with the impression it should be supported OOTB with Squeeze.

Re: USB NIC problem. Should be supported by the kernel.
Is it being detected? _________________ Gigabyte 7ZXE, AMD Athlon XP 2200+, 160GB, 1.5GB, XP, M11, M8.5, Wheezy IBM ThinkPad T43, Intel Pentium M (1.73GHz), 60GB, 1GB, XP, Mepis 11 |

Re: USB NIC problem. Does the last part of a dmesg report show anything after plugging it in? If not run 'modprobe dm9601' and see if dmesg and/or lsmod shows anything afterwards.

Re: USB NIC problem.
Yes, it says "usb 2-2: Product: USB 2.0 10/100M Ethernet Adaptor". Sorry for the slowness of my responses. Edit: After "modeprobe dm9601" (as root), dmesg says "usbcore: registered new interface driver dm9601". Last edited by GuiGuy on Tue Jun 12, 2012 6:40 pm, edited 1 time in total. |

Re: USB NIC problem. I was hoping there would be additional information in the dmesg report (like perhaps a eth* interface number associated with it).
What does 'ifconfig -a' show with and without the USB NIC plugged in? (i.e. is there an additional eth* interface available when it's plugged in) |

Re: USB NIC problem.
No, just "Local Loopback" whether plugged in or not. Edit: Tried rebooting, but no difference. Past my bedtime now, so thanks for your help Guys. I will come back tomorrow. Edit2: In case anyone is confused, I am posting from a different M11 machine with a proper lan connection! Gnite. |
