usb-rndis problem on 2.6.31-r5 kernel - gentoo user

Hi! Thank you Mark.
I've just subscribed the synce-users mailing list.
I hope I didn't miss any reply, since I subscribed the list only few
minutes ago.

Yes, sure, but, most of the times, it depends on the kernel configuration.
Note that I use gentoo-sources, but I also tried using vanilla-sources
obtaining the
same result.

I tried with fedora 11 in a virtual machine and I have no problems with it.
So I made a comparison between the modules loaded in fedora and the modules
loaded into my distribution. They are the same. Or this is what I can see.

This is what I get, every time I connect my PDA (Win Mobile 6.5) to the PC:

usb 3-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2
usb 3-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
usbcore: registered new interface driver cdc_ether
rndis_host 3-1:1.0: RNDIS_MSG_QUERY(0x00010202) failed, -47
eth1: register 'rndis_host' at usb-0000:00:1d.1-1, RNDIS device,
80:00:60:0f:e8:00

By the way! Mark, this is what I get with ifconfig -a! eth1, is there!
Sorry ... . Actually, according to the dmesg which shows eth1:

eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 80:00:60:0f:e8:00
          BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)

Actually the mac-address is the PDA's mac-address. But ifconfig
without any parameter, doesn't show it.

I think that the following message is the most significant one:
rndis_host 3-1:1.0: RNDIS_MSG_QUERY(0x00010202) failed, -47

Thank you.

Ok, whole new game now.

If you're looking for a sync connection that's not coming up, we need to
look at synce-hal. For internet sharing, run a dhcp client on the
interface.

synce-hal shouldn't be necessary in my opinion.
Furthermore, I can't run a dhcpcd command on an interface that is not
up yet.

If you want a sync connection, this is necessary. If you only want
internet sharing, it is not.

Yes you can.

Hi Flavio,

gentoo user here :)  Although I only sync, and I don't use the internet
via my mobile (Palm Treo Pro).

So I didn't get some answers from the thread already:

1. do you have a firewall? (`iptables -L` to be sure)

2. what version of which kernel module are you using?  Did you get
usb-rndis-lite from the overlay?  Have you re-emerged it since booting
2.6.31?

I'm running 2.6.30-tuxonice-r5.  I also get
kernel: rndis_host 4-1:1.0: RNDIS_MSG_QUERY(0x00010202) failed, -47
but I don't know if I've always seen that or not...

Hi Iain!
:-)

No, I haven't. Iptables is not installed into my laptop.

I use gentoo-sources-2.6.31-r5 (I also tried vanilla sources, but it's
the same thing).
I got usb_rndis_lite from my local overlay (downloaded an ebuild from
bugs.gentoo.org,
if I remeber correctly)and I used it in the past but now, it is not
possible to compile that package.
I also tried to emerge it with the 2.6.31-r5 kernel but it doesn't compile.
I prefer to use RNDIS driver inside the kernel... so it's the unique
chance I suppose.

By the way... If I try to connect the HTC Kaiser to fedora 11 kernel
2.6.30.9-96.fc11.x86_64 I get the following log:

So, I see the error -47 appears here too... but I guess the problem is
elsewhere now!!!
I used (K)NetworkManager before, but now, I can't because with KDE4
KNetworkManager
won't compile and I use wicd. Could it be wicd the problem?


Thank you,

Flavio

Hi! I finally solved the problem.

I got a patch for usb-rndis-lite package from LordLandon and compiled
the following kernel modules:
CONFIG_USB_NET_RNDIS_HOST
CONFIG_USB_ETH_RNDIS

Here's the new gentoo ebuild and the patch.
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=236162

Now internet connection sharing works again.

Thank you,

Flavio

neat, I see they closed the bug because it's not in the official tree :(
We're light on devs interested in SynCE atm.

It all looks #if'd for 2.6.31 but are you able to check it still works
against an older kernel?  I'll eventually get around to applying it to
the SynCE overlay and testing it...

Speaking of which you might be interested in the SynCE overlay.  It
sometimes has more recent versions of SynCE than the official tree:

excellent.

The bug report has been closed before I submitted the new ebuild and the
new patch. Anyway, I did it because it might be useful to gentoo people.

No, at the moment, I can't, sorry.

By the way, note that the synce overlay can't be installed.
If you du layman -L the synce overlay isn't present and if you perform
a layman -a synce, it returns the message: "* Overlay "synce" does not exist!"

Not at all! ;-)
