wade, well seeing as how it's a microsoft piece of kit i'd guess that the odds of them realeasing drivers are vanishingly small, however according to: http://www.linux-usb.org/devices.html under 'network adapters' the top two entries looks promising, you will need to know what speed usb port you have, note the second entry seems to imply that you need a later kernel it's also not obvious what the actual driver names are from the devices listed there :) however assuming that a)the pegasus driver is what you want b) you have your usb system up and running then hopefully #modprobe pegasus (note done as root) will load the driver, if not you could try some of the other drivers listed under /lib/modules/2...../kernel/drivers/usb/ use #modinfo <modulename> to see what sort of driver it is
now the next bit i could be wrong! :) assuming the driver is correct then you will need to set up an interface using that device, assuming you haven't any already then i think you may be talking 'usb0' from something i read online if you do: # ifconfig -a you should hopefully see a refernce to usb0 or indeed to a net interface that didn't use to be there, if so then you need to set it up, i believe you will need to create a file under /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ called ifcgf-usb0 (assuming usb0 is the interface name) that has something like: BOOTPROTO=static BROADCAST=192.168.129.255 IPADDR=192.168.129.1 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=192.168.129.0 DEVICE=usb0 this assumes a static ip for the interface, you will have to adjust accordingly or DEVICE=usb0 USERCTL=no ONBOOT=yes BOOTPROTO=dhcp IPADDR= NETMASK= NETWORK=0.0.0.0 BROADCAST=255.255.255.255 DHCP_CLIENT=/sbin/dhcpcd for a dhcp assigned ip i ripped that from my dhcp assigned interface on my mandrake firewall so i figure it should be the right format, not you would have to have /sbin/dhcpcd on your system then you should be able to do #ifup usb0 and if it works #ifconfig should show it up and running then you would need to add your pegasus module (or whatever it turns out to be) to your start up files, that would either be /etc/modules with a line: pegasus or /etc/modules.conf with a line: alias usb0 pegasus i'm not sure if both would work and if so which is better form for how wrong i am with this advice wait for others to comment! :) bascule On Friday 11 Jul 2003 3:24 am, Wade Waldron wrote: > Microsoft MN-110 USB ethernet adapter. > > Wade > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Carroll Grigsby" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Thursday, July 10, 2003 7:15 PM > Subject: Re: [newbie] Installing new hardware > > > On Thursday 10 July 2003 08:15 pm, Wade Waldron wrote: > > > Okay, maybe some more background is needed.
