hello..
i just installed OpenBSD 4.1 from an original CD. My USB ethernet adapter,
a Linksys USB200M is a known good working adapter (verified on Mac OS X
10.4 and FreeBSD 6.2). I am building a gateway with OpenBSD and this
hardware has only one builtin ethernet adapter (rl0) and will require a
2nd. PCI ethernet is not an option (it's a small form factor fanless PC).
I require the USB200M to operate or a suitable alternative must be found.
A default install produces the following in dmesg:
uhci0 at pci0 dev 7 function 2 "VIA VT83C572 USB" rev 0x1a: irq 11
usb0 at uhci0: USB revision 1.0
uhub0 at usb0
uhub0: VIA UHCI root hub, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1
uhub0: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered
uhci1 at pci0 dev 7 function 3 "VIA VT83C572 USB" rev 0x1a: irq 11
usb1 at uhci1: USB revision 1.0
uhub1 at usb1
uhub1: VIA UHCI root hub, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1
uhub1: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered
uhub0: port 1, set config at addr 2 failed
uhub0: device problem, disabling port 1
The final two lines are relevant. I receive the same message no matter
what usb port the USB200M is attached to.
The documentation confirms the USB200M is supported via the axe(4) driver.
The FAQ, mailing list archives, and google have produced no answers. They
seem to produce results stating either that the USB200M is supported via
axe(4) or that the axe(4) driver has been committed (in the 3.x branches).
Almost all of the available information is relating to the introduction of
axe(4) in 3.x. Some results refer to this issue, but have no replies which
resolve the problem.
Is this a configuartion problem or does axe(4) not fully support the
Linksys USB200M
Thank You. Please assist.... Appreciations in advance.
