Title: RTL8150L kernel support for A13-SOM
Post by: habib on March 31, 2016, 03:53:54 PM
Hello all,

Has anyone has succeeded to make running  A13-SOM <--> USB <--> RTL8150L ? Or simply interface a RTL8150 USB Adaptor to A13-OLinuXino
It's been a long time this chip is kernel-friendly USB-Ethernet adaptator.

Cheers, Habib.

If Linux, plug it in.  Doesn't it work?

If no, what's in kernel log (syslog / dmesg / ...)?

I have no such an Ethernet USB Adapter based on RTL8150. I just notice that this kind of support is tagged as EXPERIMENTAL when make menuconfig for A13-SOM.

Those based on RTL8152 are actually not supported in the kernel version Linux-3.4.104+

Last thing to be changed may be the tag.

If you don't have the device I am puzzled why you posted, especially here rather than kernel list or the like.

Most USB devs, plug in and go.

Ok. I have a bunch of RTL8150L chips. I plan to make this : A13-SOM + custom PCB with a RTL8150L
