Ethernet/USB adaptor

J

jibe

Hi,

I need to use this Ethernet-USB adaptor.

I followed this topic to compile the required driver. It seems to work fine, but I still have two small problems (I'm new to (Free)BSD !) :

- The kernel module loads correctly with the kldload command, but is no more running after a reboot. What is the way to have it loading automatically on boot ?

- In order to have the adaptor detected, I have to unplug and replug it... Is there a way so that it's detected if present, without unplug/replug ?

Thks.

Add it to /boot/loader.conf (file is empty by default). Something like:
Code: 
modulename_load="YES"
Obviously change the modulename to the name of your module.

The kernel module needs to be loaded before the adaptor is inserted (more specifically, before it's detected). Adding it to loader.conf will make sure it's loaded when the kernel starts.

Using the reset option with usbconfig(8) may also work (untested):
# usbconfig -d ugen3.2 reset

I just obtained
Code: 
usbconfig: Command not found
did not tried anything more (ie install usbconfig...)

I did what SirDice adviced, and it's working well. The adapter is now detected automatically.

Thanks to both of you ! :)

It could be good that the title mentions "Important Informations" rather than just "Welcome" ;)
