Hi all,
I am testing a plugable.com USB2-E1000 ethernet adapter to improve on 100Mbps.
All seems fine but there ain't no network communication.
The adaptor works (without additional drivers) on Win10;
"Built-in support for Linux" says the instructions;
Freebsd 11.1
Upon plugging the adaptor into a USB2 port, "ugen0.2" appears in /dev
ue0 is the adaptor.
The internal network card, re0, works fine.
No other devices are using the fixed IP, I've tried other IPs, USB slots and DHCP.
#
#
#
#
#
#
"This device is working properly" to quote a popular OS dialog ; -)
I think that either:
1. The adaptor will not work with FreeBSD
2. I need some more configuration
3. I need to use the Windows drivers
4. er, other.
I hope it's (2) 'cause Windows drivers look a bit of a black art and I've seen no evidence of (1) on t' Web for this model.
How can I get this working?
Any help will be much appreciated.
M'thanks.
