Title: RT2570 USB network card
Post by: Chriswilliams on October 17, 2007, 09:32:03 PM

I am trying to install an RT2570 network card as eth1

I have built the code etc.
I have done modprobe rt2570
I have modified /etc/modprobe.conf with the line:
     alias eth1 rt2570
I have modified /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1

I did not finish my description. To continue:
After a reboot
I have done
    dmesg | grep 2570 with the result

    usbcore registered new driver rt2570
    idvendor idproduct 0x2570

I have then removed the device and then plugged back in. dmesg now show:
   usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using address 4
   idVendor = 0x148f, idProduct = 0x2570
   divert: allocating divert_blk for rausb0

After all this I still don't have eth1 showing when I do ifconfig!

I seem to have missed a step somewhere. Can anybody help?

Thanks,

Chris
