Hi ,
This is what is existing configuration
have compaq presario 1200 12XL506 model notebook
installed Redhat Linux 7.1
Everything is fine except the usb to ethernet (SmartNic2
1500
) does not work although it is shown in the /proc/usb/devices
This is what i tried
downloaded latest kernel 2.5.29
Installed kernel on linux laptop
I am not very sure of what needs to be configured in the
kernel
config
When i tried "make xconfig" there is some error and x windows
does not start
i did manual configuration and able to compile the new kernel
and boot on to it
After boot on new kernel
Now even the usb mouse is not recognized, Xwindows which is
working previously with kernel 2.4.x does not work.
Now what i want to know is
What i need to select in kernel configurations so that it
supports my model with all basic features?
Why there is always an error in prevois versions of my kernel
as well ('Error in line 5 in /etc/sysconfig/mouse') I comment
line
fine everything is fine?
Please do reply in case anybody know any details on this.
thanks
Regards
Venku.

Please provide the USB specific information that is asked for in the
Linux USB FAQ at http://www.linux-usb.org/ That would help us out a lot
:)

That device should work just fine with the catc.c driver. Have you
build that one in your kernel configuration?
thanks,
greg k-h

It's part of the main kernel tree. Please read the Linux USB Guide at
http://www.linux-usb.org/ for how to set up USB drivers and your system
on Linux.
I also suggest if you have any followup questions after reading the
guide, to read the FAQ and provide all of the information needed there
to the linux-usb-users mailing list.
Good luck,
greg k-h

The use of "enabled" is confusing me. You aren't describing
the problem very well.
Do you mean that you cannot select in when you are doing
a "make menuconfig" or "make xconfig"?
Or do you mean that you have selected it, but it isn't being
compiled?
Or do you mean that you have it compiled, but the kernel
won't boot (or you can't modprobe the module)?
Or do you mean that it boots and the kernel shows
the catc driver (in /proc/bus/usb/drivers) but the
device isn't being claimed (as shown in /proc/bus/usb/devices).
Exactly what are you trying to do, and what is happening?

I assume that you can select other options, but not
this particular option (Hint: you could have told me that).
I take it that you didn't look at the options that this
option depends on, and you need to turn on the
configuration options for CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL
and possibly CONFIG_NET
