I would be more impressed if it worked
VIX doesn't seem to detect mine (pretty sure a driver issue)
On my PC it gets detected as a "LAN7500"
Here a screenshot of its performance (500mb test file)



The little book that comes with shows it working on OpenMips.
I "think" we need "smsc7500.ko" ?

I have Linux stuff here (that I don't quite understand ) if someone wants a go at a driver?

[rossi2000]

there have been a few commits to include usb lan adpaters for the image
is that driver not in the feeds?

Nope, only asix chipsets not the 7500

"opkg install kernel-module-smsc75xx" seems to have done the job

 

[marty]

Kinda crap

I've got mine, here in Italy, this morning.
I didn't try to install it yet, but i've seen in changelog of 715 version of the Vix image that it was mentioned the Gigablue Usb ethernet adapter...

Don't it work straight if I connect it? What must do to make it work?

Try 715 (I only just had time to update mine a few mins ago) if it doesn't work then simply telnet your quad this opkg install kernel-module-smsc75xx
Don't forget to reboot

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I wasn't too happy with the results from Lan Speed Test Lite so I tried a "real life" situation and tried copying some files to and from the Quad to my PC.
Results were better than that reported by lan speed test

Upload (PC to Quad) was a good 20 MB/s (that's megabytes not megebits)
Download (Quad to PC) was a bit better again at 28ish MB/s sometimes peaking at 30MB/s



So, write speed is nearly double fast Ethernet (100mbps) and read speed is nearly triple
As suspected far from gigabit but better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick

Speeds are a bit higher on a PC, maybe things might improve in the future with better drivers?

 

[rossi2000]

can you use both the ethernet and usblan adpater together?
