ParticipantHello
I am trying to get USB network adapters to work with zeroshell, but to no awail. I can see kernel detecting the network card, but new ETH** does not appear. Not even after restart. So far have tried with 2.6.36.3 and 3.2.9 kernel. Have tried 3 different USB ethernet adapters – 2 cheap chinese ones and one belkin gigabit USB2 adapter.
If anyone has got any USB NIC-s working with zeroshell, please let us know, what kind of adapters were those and what version of kernel and zeroshell did you use.
Thank you in advance!

ParticipantI did try 3.3.7 kernel now and here is the log:

ParticipantI tested USB network adapters with new 3.14.21-ZS-PAE kernel and good news – all of them work! Although ” Unknown Model” is displayed in GUI. To get any of those NICs appear in GUI Zeroshell router restart is needed.
More details here:
Belkin Gigabit USB:
[ 2.148127] usb 5-6: new high-speed USB device number 2 using ehci-pci
[ 2.311637] usb 5-6: New USB device found, idVendor=050d, idProduct=5055

[ 2.311655] usb 5-6: Manufacturer: Belkin F5D5055 Gig USB
[ 2.311660] usb 5-6: SerialNumber: 000001Works very well, speed over 250Mbps up and down (limited by the speed of my internet connection). Stability also seems good.

[ 2.290296] usb 5-6: Manufacturer: USBLINK
[ 2.290300] usb 5-6: SerialNumber: 000003Works, speed is close to 100Mbps both up and down.

[ 19.715333] dm9601 3-2:1.0 ETH04: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0xFFFFSays link up although no cable connected. causes web interface and SSH connection to crawl after startup, later speed is OK.
Internet works, speed is 5-6 Mbps both up and down. I get same speeds with that USB LAN adapter under Windows, so this is just slow interface, not a driver issue.
I have also had stability issues with this one – in Windows on prolonged use (several hours) gets quite hot. I’d better steer clear of this one! Looks like that:
