[Scottish] at76c503 wireless usb adaptor

[Ben Thorp]

Having had to fiddle with one of the NTL USB broadband boxes, I know th=
at
they made a number of improvements to the USB/Ethernet bridge stuff in =
the
2.4.20, which might mean that you will need to upgrade the kernel in or=
der
for it to work properly. Having said that, the page at
http://masqmail.cx/at76c503/ suggests that this driver, while being
developed on 2.4.20, has also been known to work on 2.4.19?

OK this is sheer laziness; asking here before I make more than a
half-hearted
attempt..

I bought a couple of usb wirless lan adaptors with at76c503 chips (Mapl=
ins
@=A340 each).
Plugged one in and dmesg gives:
hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/2, assigned device number 14
usb.c: USB device 14 (vend/prod 0x3eb/0x7605) is not claimed by any act=
ive
driver

Download at76c503-0.9  it recommends 2.4.20 kernel, but try make; make
install
anyway..  A few errors, which I might read later.
# modprobe -v at76c503
modprobe: Can't locate module at76c503

Has anyone got one of these devices working?  Should I up the kernel (w=
hich

will cause hassle with Win4Lin & VMware)? Has anyone else read the
instructions before I have to?

I have SuSE 8.1 kernel 2.4.19
