USB100TX Install Issues

I'm trying to install a Linksys USB100TX network adapter and I've had some success. I 've added "pegasus" to modules.autoload and "alias eth1 pegasus" to modules.conf. I'm not that experienced with drivers, so I'm not sure if either of these changes are correct.

In any case, dmesg is showing this on boot:

Code: Select all

    pegasus.c: v0.4.32 (2003/06/06):Pegasus/Pegasus II USB Ethernet driver
    usb.c: registered new driver pegasus
    divert: allocating divert_blk for eth1
    pegasus.c: eth1: Linksys USB USB10TX
    pegasus.c: setup Pegasus II specific registers

Also I notice earlier in dmesg this:

Code: Select all

    hub.c: new USB device 00:02.0-2, assigned address 2
    usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0x66b/0x400b) is not claimed by any     active driver.

As the usb100tx is the only thing I have plugged into usb, I'm assuming this refers to that. It seems like it detects it ok, but it detects it as USB10TX instead of USB100TX. When I tried to configure eth1 using DHCP (connected to my cable modem), I was able to get an IP address and resolv.conf was updated ok, but I couldn't resolve anything.

Has anyone got a USB100TX working well or does anyone have any comments on the above?

Sure your nameserver was right?

echo "nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" > /etc/resolv.conf

Also, you may need to run:

route add eth1 default gw xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

I got it working, but it still shows up as USB10TX when it installs instead of 100TX. Not sure why.

Possible that the drivers dont support 100mbps.

Wierd, says it supports the USB100TX in the docs, though. I'm only connecting it to a 10mb cable modem so I guess I don't care =)

If you are only connected to a 10Mbps cable modem your card will only connect at 10Mbps

Right, but the drivers should still pick up the correct device (USB100TX, not USB10TX) I would have thought. Even if I plug it into my 100mb switch, it still picks it up as USB10TX.

maybe there are some options you can pass to the module to make it run at 100Mbps
