GP2X Usbnet Problem

[ldesnogu]

Hello,

I just received a gp2x as Xmas gift. It is a recent one with firmware 2.1.0 installed.
My computer is running FC5 x86_64.

I had some problems with the USB cable provided and so use another one that works fine.
I now have no problem seeing the SD card in the gp2x.

I followed the instructions from the wiki to enable USBnet. I can ping the unit but after the
first hit (@3.89 ms) the gp2x freezes and I have to power if off. Here is what I see on my
PC:

PING 10.1.0.1 (10.1.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 10.1.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=3.89 ms
ping: sendmsg: No buffer space available
ping: sendmsg: No buffer space available

I also noticed that if I switch USB network on on the gp2x, validate it, and the turn it off, the
gp2x locks.

Any hint on what's going on?

Cheers

Have you replaced the g_ether.o module on the GP2X?

That's the usual cause of freezes

I thought it was only needed for 2.0.x firmware.

Well I will give the script (i.e. not the firmware patch) described in this thread Usbnet From Linux Box Howto a try.

You need it if you are using a 2.6 kernel

Indeed it works, thanks a lot !

Big warning: the script found in http://archive.gp2x.de/cgi-bin/cfiles.cgi?0,0,0,0,17,1824 is screwed.
It contains:

/lib/modules/2.4.25/kernel/drivers/usb/gadget/g_ether.o
sync

modprobe g_ether
cd /usr/gp2x
exec ./gp2xmenu

I changed it to:

#!/bin/sh

rmmod g_ether
cp -f g_ether.o /lib/modules/2.4.25/kernel/drivers/usb/gadget/g_ether.o
sync

modprobe g_ether
cd /usr/gp2x
exec /usr/gp2x/gp2xmenu

Again thanks a lot for your help

I just copied the module in Sterm (or was it telnet?) and rebooted.
