Preliminary results with the SharkMultimedia Pocket Ethernet adapter. I
havn't testing transmit yet, just watching the traffic and comparing it with
the PCI NIC. Here's the ID info.
{ "SharkMM Pocket Ethernet", 0x13d2, 0x0400, NULL },
ALL:
- net device never gets released so I usually end up at about eth5
or 6.
- disconnects would oops until I unlinked both urbs in the disconnect
function
OHCI: (Opti PCI card)
- probes properly and I get the packets in iptraf(With 10-15% packet
loss)
JE UHCI:
- one timedout bulk/control before it's detected.
- sometimes descriptor reads fail all together and port is disabled
- seems to fail more often on second controler(both VIA Apollo onboard)
- ~95% packet loss
- more "packet length too long" errors than AFS UHCI, but not in
proportion to the packet loss
AFS UHCI:
- one timedout bulk/control then it's detected.
- 20%(rough guess) packet loss
- fair amount of "packet length too long" errors(10% packets, I'd guess)
- same controlers as JE UHCI
System stats:
Athlon 600
Asus K7M motherboard(VIA Apollo chipset)
Debian GNU/Linux (current) woody
Linux 2.3.99-pre3
Shark MultiMedia Pocket Ethernet KLSI based USB NIC
Good start.
