Pi Zero usb LAN adapter

[strebor]

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

[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
after adding the module into the file system?

[bmarkus]

Is kernel moduld matching kernel version?

[strebor]

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

[strebor]

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).

Repace the V7 net-usb package with the V6 for the PiZero and away we go
nowI have to configure for hdmi out, and do the rest of the woodwork.
Thanks again all

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
