This got me up and running pretty quick. Hope it helps someone.
***Make sure you have udev installed or this no workie***
1. Kernel Steps:
For 2.6 Make sure you have the following built in as modules <M>:
| Code: |
# cd /usr/src/linux
# make menuconfig
Device Drivers --->
USB support --->
<M> Support for Host-side USB
<M> EHCI HCD (USB 2.0) support
<M> UHCI HCD (most Intel and VIA) support
<M> USB Printer support
|
Exit and save your config then:
| Code: |
# make && make modules_install
# cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel-2.6.9
# cp System.map /boot/System
# cp .config /boot/config-2.6.9 .map-2.6.9
# reboot
|
2. Make sure your modules are there:
| Code: |
# modprobe usbcore
# modprobe usblp
|
3. Download driver:
