Of course I thought in doing what you say. Problem is that MCC does not
detect my device. It asks me to load a driver by hand without more
options. I have checked with "lsmod" that my module is loaded, but the
device does not show up. HardDrake detects it as "other devices" and
UsbView detects it quite nicely, as if it was a device just ready to
use. Any ideas?
Teilhard.
If it is not being detected as a NIC, then you are going to have
problems with more then just MCC...
Dumb question time:
Did you run "depmod -a" or reboot after building the module? This is
needed to update the list hotplug uses for loading modules when devices
are plugged in. (If it was plugged in when you updated things, then you
will need to unplug it, and plug it in again.)
No, I didn't do it, but I have done it already without the device
plugged, and I have plugged it a nothing has changed.
You may also want to take a look at /proc/bus/usb/devices and see if a
driver is being loaded for the device. Or you can post the output of:
cat /proc/bus/usb/devices
and we can help you decode it. It sounds like the driver is not being
tied to the NIC, and so no Ethernet device is being created. Without
that, none of the network commands are going to work.
It seems the driver loads all right as far as I can gather. But I gibve
you the file so you can see the otcome.

Yes, this is the entry for it, and it is using the driver.
Another thing to do is check the logs for any error messages from the
module. What I find helpfull is to have "tail -f /var/log/messages"
running on one VT, or in a terminal when I plug a devie in, so I can see
any messages. (Actualy, I moduified my syslog configuration so that all
messages are displayed on vt12, so I can just hit Ctrl-Alt-F12 to see
what is going on.)
When I plug the device, I get:
Jun 21 07:23:58 localhost kernel: new high speed device using address 5
------------------ Release Ver = 4330
------------------ EEPORM ver = 4330
Jun 21 7:23:59 localhost net.agent[6958]: add event not handled
Ok - it looks like it is detecting the network device, and trying to
start it. I find it strange that drakconnect does not find it. Time to
try something else...
Run "ifconfig -a" and see if it shows eth0 or wlan0. If it does, we can
work from there. The -a option of ifconfig will show all interfaces,
even if they are not configured. If it doesn't show ether of them, then
let us know what it does show. You should see at least the lo interface.
Yes, it shows eth0 AND wlan0. it also shows a wlan1-00: link

Thank you for taking the time.
