    GigaWare USB to Ethernet Adapter

    Xubuntu 12.04.
    XFCE 4.10.

    The other day I had a major lightning strike happen.
    It killed a coax line, a hub, and two onboard NICs.

    For some reason, it's now rare to find a PCI ethernet card on shelf anywhere.
    I did manage to find a GigaWare USB to Ethernet Adapter at my local RadioShack.
    It works fine in Windows XP and 7.
    It shows up as a non-writable CD-Drive device with install directories for PC and Mac.
    NDISGTK shows that it's there, but nothing offers to let me actually use it.
    The installer makes mention of Shenzhen Corechips Electronics Co, LTD.

    lsusb outputs this:

Bus 001 Device 011: ID 050d:945a Belkin Components F7D1101 Basic Wireless USB Adapter v1000 [Realtek RTL8188SU]
    The Belkin is the adapter I'm using now to get online.
    Brother is the printer, there's the keyboard, mouse, Microsoft is the webcam.
    I'm guessing the Kontron is the odd ball out.
    Is this just a case of no driver base?

    Thanks.
    And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway? I mean, all you get is one trick: "rational thinking."
    But, when you're good and crazy? Oooh! Oooh! Oooh! The sky is the limit!

    Right-click on the "drive" and remove it safely. Check "lsusb" again

    It's definitely that kontron device that's just not supported.

    Re: GigaWare USB to Ethernet Adapter

    Check:
    Code:
    cat /etc/network/interfaces
cat /etc/resolv.conf
route -n
ifconfig -a
    Please install ethtool and show:
    Code:
    sudo ethtool eth0
    Any difference in "lsusb"?

    Re: GigaWare USB to Ethernet Adapter

    Well, obviously the device is not shown anymore after unmounting the drive mode. Did you install the win driver with ndiswrapper? IMHO the ndiswrapper version from the repos is not patched in 12.04. Try this one:

    and follow the links therein

    I had installed the driver with ndiswrapper with no new hardware showing up in network management, even when ndiswrappergui showed new hardware.

    I've uninstalled ndiswrapper 1.57 from default repositories.
    I grabbed the 12.04 deb files from the PPA you ultimately led me to https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ndiswrapper here.

    Installed the files: common, dkms, source, and utils (i386) with dpkg.
    Grabbed gui from synaptic.

    Executed ndisgtk with gksu.
    Pointed the GUI to the inf file.
    Screenshot!

    Clicking configure network takes me to the network setup dialogue.
    From here, I'm stuck.

    I do not know if ndiswrapper supports LAN connections at all. Add a cable and check
    Code:
    ifconfig -a
lsusb
cat /etc/network/interfaces
cat /etc/resolv.conf
dmesg | grep ndis
ndiswrapper -l
