Satellite C660D-178: ethernet over usb support in Linux does not work
Posted: 27-Sep-2011 14:00

Hi,

I found none of two usb ports can handle ethernet over usb. That's a usual feature in Linux - when you connect two machines with usb cable, it can work as a network interface.
Surprisingly, C660D-178 appears to be the very first machine I found it does not work with.

Why?

Any chance to enable?

Thanks,
D.

Hi

Never tested and used USB over Ehternet but there is a tool called “USB Over Ethernet”
It’s 15 days trial version and compatible with Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008/7

You could try to test this using a Windows version… in such case you could find out if it’s linux issue or maybe this feature is not supported by hardware

Hi there

You say that the Ethernet over USB does not work.
Please let us know the symptoms.

As far as I can see you need to load a kernel module called usbnet (saw that on Wikipedia).
What happens when You load it? Any errors?

And also - what about basic USB functions not related to this specific issue - does the USB ports work well with other tasks like external HID's, storage....

greets
Tom
