Title: RPi0w with USB Hub and Ethernet
Post by: DeepBlueMind on August 01, 2021, 10:19:22 AM

Hello,
I am new here and I wanted to ask, if I need some extensions to run a USB hub with an ethernet connection.
On the USB hub there is a keyboard connected and recognized but the ethernet/LAN connection to my router is not working.

I use the version piCore-13.0.3

After Installation I did this:

Expanded mmcblk0p2 partition
Backup SSH keys, using 'filetool.sh -b' command.

When I run the RPi0w with Raspian OS the LAN connection works fine.

Did I forget something?

You will need to load the driver for your usb ethernet device - do you know the details of your hardware and which driver it needs?

It's a Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8152 Fast Ethernet Adapter

How do I load the driver for this device?

likely you need the extension   net-usb-<kernel>.tcz

where <kernel> matches the output of `uname -m`
