smsc95xx based ethernet not working #39

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I got a LevelOne usb-0501 usb/ethernet hub, but even though the correct module 
(smsc95xx) is loaded on MK802 III and ifconfig shows the usbnet0 device, it 
doesn't seem to receive an ip address. Sometimes I get a usbnet0: kevent 2 may 
have been dropped (also shown in dmesg). Googling that message suggests add 
external power, disabling turbo mode (smsc95xx.turbo_mode=N) or raise the 
vm.min_free_kbytes value in /etc/sysctl.conf. Nothing seems to help. Also tried 
a static ip, but also no luck.

I have tested the device on Mint Linux, Arch Linux, and Android on a ASUS 
Transformer TF300T, and all of them works out of the box, with no problems. 
They all got much newer kernels, so I guess something has changed since the 
3.0.8+ series.
