[GiGaBlue QUAD] Is it possible to add gigabit USB adapter support?

Hi,

can you give the exact name/type of the adapter? Have you tested both? Which one is faster?

ciao

I tested the Digitus DN-10150 (SMSC LAN7500 USB2 chipset) and the Digitus DN-3023 (ASIX ax88179 USB3 chipset) and got similar read performance of ~ 33mB/s. However, the write speeds of the DN-3023 were 20% better @ ~ 31.5 mB/s.

I also had a problem with OSCAM whilst connected via the LAN7500 chipset device

Hi,
thanks. Just for fun testing new things I ordered a DN-3023. I ordered from amazon and in the same order 3 rolls of chips so it will be even more fun:-)

ciao
 


guy's bare in mind atm the SMSC LAN7500 USB2 chipset, is only supported on the et's, Vu's and Gbquad, other will follow, but with all the Sourceforge issues has slowed me down, however the ASIX ax88179 USB3 chipset, should be supported on all boxes.

i have just order both devices to test.

I can't see version 675 on the OpenViX download page for the Quad so I assume it didn't happen last night?

I'll keep an eye out.

When it does I guess you want me to clean install and then execute the two feed install commands via tenet - or will they be added to the Plugins menu?

Just to be clear Andy, the first device in your list is an AXIS ax88178 chipset, not the ax88179. They are different in architecture and require different drivers. The-8 is USB2 whilst the -9 is usb3.

[The] driver for ASIX's AX88179 family of USB 3.0/2.0 to gigabit ethernet adapters [is] based on the AX88xxx driver but the usb commands used to access registers for AX88179 are completely different.
 
You can do an online update to build 677.

Ok - so the following steps:

1. clean install 668
2. Software Update menu option to 677
3 Either telnet and execute package feed installs or use plugins menu (which?)
4. Report back if succesfull or not.

Correct?

Connected the adapters, rebooted and all okay. I'm currently using the USB3 adapter full time. Would be useful if we could name the adapters instead of them being "LAN Connection", "LAN Connection 2", "LAN Connection 3".

the drivers should be in PluginBrowser too in Drivers section.

Confirmed. (Although I had to allow unstable option to see plugins.)

Just upgraded to image 715 and the ASIX88179 USB3 device is no longer recognised. I've reinstalled the plugin but still no joy. Is this a kernel incompatibility issue or a Darrell-is-an-idiot issue
 
I uninstalled plugin, did an opkg remove and then opkg install and now all working
