I have determined that I probably need an up to
date version of the pegasus driver on my system. I have downloaded the
header file off the CVS on the internet. I would like to add the new
version of the driver to my system. I am guessing that this requires me to
compile it since I can not seem to find any other versions. Can someone
explain how I go about doing this and what will I need to do
it? Wade

Thanks for identifying the driver source bascule.
If you look at the latest source code for the driver http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/pegasus2/pegasus/pegasus.h you can see the Microsoft adapter was added to the source 4 weeks and 5 days ago. From the latest source we can see VENDOR_MICROSOFT 0x045e PEGASUS_DEV( "Microsoft MN-110", VENDOR_MICROSOFT, 0x007a, DEFAULT_GPIO_RESET | PEGASUS_II ) Adding the line pegasus 0x0003 0x045e 0x007a 0x0000 0x0000 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00000000 (That is all one line) to /etc/hotplug/usb.handmap should cause the driver to be loaded whenever the USB adapter is plugged in. If that does not work then you may have to compile the driver from CVS which is quite a lot more work for a newbie. derek On Friday 11 Jul 2003 7:31 am, bascule wrote: > 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 > >> 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.
