USBMode application

[Statik]

Hey all,
Following instructions here: HowTo use the Motorola A780 Smartphone on Linux and in this thread and trying to get USBLan working with a new A780. The linloader method doesn't seem to work, although linloader is successfully installed and working (test.lin worked).
The mpkg also does not install, as has been mentioned earlier.

I am using Ubuntu linux 8.04LTS.
My syslog when I connect in MODEM mode lists the following:

Hal/devices/usb_device_22b8_3802_noserial').

What can I do?

Found the sticky about installing the mpgk installer. Got that installed, fixed my cardDB and have the usblan chooser working. Everything looks good on the phone, but no USB0 or lan connection on the desktop.

syslog shows:
May 17 16:36:54 statik-desktop kernel: [67040.583169] usb 1-9: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 35

When its connected.

Still need somesort of help.

Digging around my menus, found Applications->Other->USBDevices which listed, of all things:
Motorola USBLAN

Manufacturer: Motorola


Not sure where its supposed to be or how I can connect to it, but its there in some form.

Hi,

to get USB-Lan there are three diffrent methodes. I think all should work. I put some hints maybe this is helpful.

Method 1:

linloader and acmattach.lin
try without this line: #!/bin/bash
sometimes this helps i dont know why.


Method 2:

USB-Application
In the settings the USB-Mode need to set to modem.
After this you can start the application and choose your usblan.


Method 3:

flashkit + flexbit
Set the flexbit [0x68] to 1.
This will activate USB-Lan in the normal settings.



dmesg output for modem and USB-Lan:

I don't have the Zaurus line, nor is there any zaurus things in the repository to add.
I don't think that Ubuntu is recognizing the A780 as a valid LAN device, despite it identifying itself as one, and the USBLAN application on the A780 reporting: Connected, IP 192.168.1.2

I feel like I'm soo close, and just need to get Ubuntu to recognize the USBLAN and I'll be flying.

Thanks for the reply tho.

You cant find the zaurus driver in a repository. It will be loaded as a kernel module.

Device Drivers --> Network device Support --> USB Network
Adapters: (M) Multi-purpose Networking Framwork --> (M) Sharp Zaurus...

So far i know in Ubuntu 6.x and 7.x 32 bit version there is a precompiled module that you can load.

sudo modprobe usbnet

Then you need to assign the ip.

sudo ifconfig usb0 192.168.1.5

Your mobile ip is 192.168.1.2

[Statik]

I have done sudo modprobe usbnet.
I don't know where you are finding this Device Drivers --> Network device Support . . . menu selection. I don't seem to have it here.

If I enter sudo ifconfig usb0 192.168.1.5 I get:

SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
usb0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device

dmesg tells me:

[45260.579527] usb 1-9: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 5
[45260.801017] usb 1-9: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

The phone is reporting Connected: IP 192.168.1.2 Charging: 500mA

If, using the USB Mode app, I change from USBLAN to CDC, dmesg reports:

[45412.313093] usb 1-9: USB disconnect, address 5
[45412.987530] usb 1-9: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 6

if I switch back, dmesg reports:

[45491.495773] usb 1-9: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 7

It looks to me that there is a modem driver but no usbnet driver.
I think the usbnet module is precompiled but without the zaurus support.

To fix this:

A. Make a own kernel with usbnet zaurus support

http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_ubuntu


or

B. Connect via ppp to your mobile phone (LeoPPP).

http://www.troodon.org/a780/a780-linux-howto.htm

with this method you will have a problem because you can only install LeoPPP with a telnet session. I dont know if it works with a console on your phone.
So grab an older Version of Ubuntu (LiveCD) install LeoPPP after this you can switch to Ubuntu 8.04 and telnet to the phone or share the internet connection.

Well, I know that there is some sort of usbnet support because I dug out an old linksys usb 10bt network adapter and connected it. dmesg reported:

[  823.803584] usb 1-9: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 5

[  824.654951] eth2: set allmulti

I'll look into getting the Zaurus support, I think, unless the LeoPPP is better, or atleast the same as the net one. I just want to sync with evolution.
