2.6.11: usbnet broken

2.6.11: usbnet broken

[Holger Klawitter]

Hi there,

in 2.6.11 the usbnet module is not being loaded for my Zaurus SL-C860 (Vendor 
ID = 044d, Product ID = 9031), which used to work in 2.6.10. (as stated in 
previous post, rc4 and rc5 were also broken).

Moreover, there seems to be a wrong Product ID in usbnet (already in 2.6.9): 
is=9050 should be=9031. Hence my Zarus is being recognized as C-750/760 
(which is fine as 760 and 860 only differ in memsize).

Regards

Hmm, I don't think that post made it near linux-usb-devel ... :)

If the problem is just that the driver isn't loaded, but works if it's
modprobed by hand (or statically linked), then it's a hotplug problem.
Likely the same one that prevents _real_ CDC Ethernet devices from
hotplugging.  See if the attached patch improves things.

Alternatively, I understand that the 2.6 based OpenZaurus code is
starting to work quite well on those models.  You could upgrade
from that old Lineo/Embedix code, and gain the ability to talk to
Windows using RNDIS networking for free!

Are you saying Linux is saying something about "750/760"?  Where?
Current usbnet versions only say "Sharp Zaurus, PXA-2xx based".
Maybe the Lineo/Embedix code is mis-identifying itself.
