iconnect installer support



Hi,

I have setup a page about the iomega connect, to install debian on it.

http://www.kroonen.eu/wiki

I can get almost everything to work only the installer is not so nice. I'm using the installer of openrd and the problem is when detecting the networkcard everything works, but it forces itself to 1gb fixed.

So you need to install debian on the iomega iconnect and 1gb switch.

here the output

iconnect:~# ethtool eth0
Settings for eth0:
Supported ports: [ MII ]
Supported link modes:
Supports auto-negotiation: No
Advertised link modes:  Not reported
Advertised auto-negotiation: No
Speed: 1000Mb/s
Duplex: Full
Port: MII
PHYAD: 0
Transceiver: internal
Auto-negotiation: off
Link detected: yes

iconnect:~# dmesg

Linux version 2.6.32.21 (kelly@speedy) (gcc version 4.4.3 (Sourcery G++
MV-643xx 10/100/1000 ethernet driver version 1.4
mv643xx_eth smi: probed

net eth1: port 0 with MAC address 00:50:43:5a:1a:2d
eth0: link up, 1000 Mb/s, full duplex, flow control disabled



Now I hope that there are people who can solve this, because when I run my custom kernel, the driver of the lan works as expected, so also 100mb auto etc

dmesg output

mv643xx_eth_port mv643xx_eth_port.0: eth0: port 0 with MAC address 00:d0:b8:0d:2d:b5
[   35.311370] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready
[ 37.064142] mv643xx_eth_port mv643xx_eth_port.0: eth0: link up, 100 Mb/s, full duplex, flow control disabled


Could this be a problem with the 2.6.32 driver of the installer?

I also want to have an extra driver, how can I do that (I want an usb to lan Pegausus II) to be added to the installer. How can I do that?


regards Richard
