I want to get usb to usb networking up on the Zaurus running OpenBSD (a
snap from about a week ago). I wish to get it to communicate to the
FreeBSD box that is sitting next to it.
When I :reboot: the Zaurus back to Linux, FreeBSD immediately sees a new
cdce0 device, and I could communicate, but the device crawls back into
it's hole when I boot back into OpenBSD. I need to know how to get a
cdce active, I *think* (I guess I could be wrong here)
Thanks for any help!
Sorry, usb client mode is not supported in OpenBSD at this time.
Only usb host mode is supported see usb(4) for list.
The hardware supports usb on-the-go, but OpenBSD doesn't have a driver
for it yet.
I just got a note from Theo over this... I think I probably managed to
make him mad at me. I am looking at the FreeBSD man page for cdce (it's
where the cdce was written, I think, it was just ported elsewhere). I
may be misreading it, it doesn't seem to say anything at all about
"client mode". It goes on about "USB Host to Host" and "USB bridges
based on the USB Communication Device Class" (CDC). Nothing about
client mode, so I guess that's why I made my mistake. Add to this the
fact that it works, to/from FreeBSD to the original Linux on the Zaurus,
using cdce on both ends.
If there is a way to do this "host mode", could you please give me a bit
more of a hint? I've been over the usb man page a whole lot, and can't
puzzle it out yet. I have a really nice, pluggable cable that lets me
make any sort of usb cable I need, male/female/mini or full, anything I
please. so I think I have the hardware done. I just haven't any idea
what the basic architecture you are trying to point me towards is.
