bmarkus, yes but the last three lines of Greg's dmesg output don't come up on mine and I can't see r8152 in my lsmod.
I'm going to try a Rasbian install and see how the hardware I have performes.

thanks Strebor

hi strebor,

I think that means the hardware cannot find r8152.ko.gz.

How did you install it? Through the extension net-usb-4.1.20-piCore+.tcz or did you manually add r8152.ko.gz?

"df" will show you what extensions have been loop mounted.

Does your device have LEDs? Mine has a blue LED indicating USB and red LED indication Ethernet cable.

BTW: lsusb is not part of the standard piCorePlayer install. Load usbutils.tcz. Alternatively, if you do a [Wifi Settings] > [Diagnostics] it will install.

regards
Greg

Greg, through the  extension of picoreplayer on a RPi2 and then move the card to the Zero, but I've also tried installing it by cp and vi the config file....strebor

Greg, well the archive is mounted loop, but lsmod r8152.ko doesn't see the module and I can't find any mention in the.dep file.
The .ko.gz file is there and the permissions were all root/root.
I seem to remember that when loading the extension from the gui the ascendancies window was empty, this I thought was odd as other extensions showed the load dependence

Does this help
Code: [Select]
sudo depmod -a
sudo udevadm trigger

uname -a says 4.1.20-picore* and /tmp/tcloop/net-usb-4.1.20-picore_v7+
give or take the odd typo

.......................


sudo depmod -a
sudo udevadm trigger

did't seem to do anything ifconfig still shows only shows loopback IF , dmesg didn't show a USB ethernet port defined.
.................

I tried Raspbian and the usb adapter came up, so it's ok hardware wise

Please be specific, because the above is wrong.

You have downloaded the net-usb drivers for the armv7 processors.  The zero is armv6 You need this file

I'll get my coat :(   I see what has happened, because I used the model B to add the extension and then move it to the Zero. I'll redo the image  and load the extension by hand.
Thanks Paul

Hi strebor,

You must have a Raspberry Pi Model 2B (RPi2B) not a Raspberry Pi Model B (RPiB). Maybe a RPi3B?

Check in the footer on each web page for "linux 4.1.20-piCore+" NOT "linux 4.4.13-piCore_v7+"

regards
Greg

Greg, you mean 2B or not 2B; well yes it's  2B
Thanks all for your help, this is great forum. As far as the Pi foundation aims  go, and generally a real tour de force.

Just realised this statement has 2 and opposite meanings.

I should have said:

You must have used a Raspberry Pi Model 2B (RPi2B) not a Raspberry Pi Model B (RPiB).

A very novice worthy question ...

I notice Greg has got this USB hub/ethernet thing working on a Pi0.

I have downloaded  net-usb-4.1.20-piCore+.tcz onto my Windows box and can putty into the Pi0 via a wifi link.

How do I install the package on the Pi0 having got this far?

Thanks
Paul

Hi Paul,

I use winSCP to copy files to the Raspberry Pi.

1. Copy net-usb-4.1.20-piCore+.tcz to /mnt/mmcblk0p2/tce/optional
2. Add this line "net-usb-4.1.20-piCore+.tcz" to /mnt/mmcblk0p2/tce/onboot.lst

regards
Greg
