There is an isp1761 open source project where you can get the code, but I believe the code there is much older than code we got direct from philips around last october. Regarding usbnet we need it to work in device mode. I worked on IPAQs a couple years ago that did this correctly: you plug the unit into a pc via USB and you get an ethernet style link to the IPAQ linux os. I'm trying to do the same in our product which as far as I know involves cdc_ethernet and the gadget framework. It's pretty frustrating, actually, since I have working bulk endpoints and all I need to do is get the ethernet frame in one end and out the other. Maybe someone knows how to get a usb network interface without gadgets? _________________________________________________________________ Need a break?
