AX88179 adapter not recognized. #163

Closed nrobert13 closed 3 years ago

hey Guys,

I tried an AX88179 adapter, but my unit ( SW 0897 ) doesn't recognise it. It may be related to the old firmware, as far as I can see the list in https://github.com/jilleb/mib2-toolbox/issues/119#issuecomment-761689293 , they are all newer than mine. I see these logs while plugging in the adapter.

Jan 01 00:09:50    5    12   100 USB-0.3:0: vid=0b95, did=1790: found control endpoint

Jan 01 00:09:50    5    12   100 USB-0.3:0: vid=0b95, did=1790: No match found, class=0xff

so the VID/PID seem to be the correct one.

I enabled ssh and logged in over wifi, was just wondering if I get the adapter working as well. Where can I find efs-system.img / usblauncher to check if the VID/PID is present?

Sorry I've been meaning to update that list, it turns out there are a whole bunch of firmwares that include just AX88178 instead of both AX88178 and AX88179. The original grep/search I based that table on wasn't checking for both.

I see. I'll try to find the usblauncher script on my unit, to see what devices ID's are in there. I saw people on seatcupra.net updating their units, but not sure where they get the firmware images from, haven't found any link. Do you happen to know?

Yeah it's in /mnt/system/etc/usblauncher.lua I think. It's pretty easy to read/modify, basically lists USB vid/pid combos and the driver to use for them. On some units it uses /mnt/system/etc/usblauncher_otg.lua

The config block for AX88178 should look like 

-- ASIX AX88178
device(0x0b95, 0x1780) {
    driver"/etc/scripts/extnet.sh -oname=en,lan=0,busnum=$(busno),devnum=$(devno),wait=60,ign_remove,path=$(USB_PATH) /lib/dll/devnp-asix.so /dev/io-net/en0";
    removal"ifconfig en0 destroy";
};

You can duplicate that and change 0x1780 to 0x1790 to make it work.

thanks for the advice. I haven't got the time to test this out, returned the adapter, I guess the the wifi connection is good enough for me. Closing this issue.
