Re: [Gumstix-users] Ethernet Adapter wont work on Verdex

[richard d. <rdo...@gm...>]

if you have the pegasus.ko module built for your target, you can "insmod
pegasus" and install it that way, however, if you don't have it available,
you 'll have to build it yourself.
You will need to get onto the nabble website and dig through the archives,
since I don't remember off the top of my head how to do this, but, in
general, the steps are *SOMETHING* like this..

bitbake menuconfig

which gives you a menu that lets you configure what modules are built and
available. Then you need to create a user.collection directory which you
then copy the recipe for the particular kernel you are working with and
menuconfiged into your user.collection directory under
user.collection/recipes/linux  and THEN you copy the configuration file that
was created into your user.collection/recipes/linux directory but name it
"defconfig".. then you bitbake your kernel again and when that is done, copy
uImage onto your flash card and reboot your gumstix.. the module should be
there and should get loaded and you should then be able to connect using
your usb ethernet device.

Sorry I can't be more concise, but at this point, all I can give you is a
generalized how to.

Eric has posted some VERY VERY helpful stuff about how to do all of this.
 Nothing collected up into the wiki yet that I have seen.  (I really need to
try and find the time to do that, some day)
