https://infotomb.com/w61ey - eth.pcap usb sniff

[LOM]

I assume you did the capture under linux and that is not of any help, you need to do the capture under windows (XP preferably) so you can catch the command the windows driver uses for switching the device.
Set capture filter to vendor id (VID) 0x0fe6 and product id (PID) 9702 and let the capture run until it stops by itself due to "surprise device removal" which is what will happen after the windows driver has sent the switch message.
One of the last lines in the end of the capture log will be the mode switching cmd.
This ethernet dongle should probably get the usb id 0fe6:9700 after switching..

[Josh]

The first thing to try with a new/unknown device is the "StandardEject" procedure which works with at least 50 percent of all devices. I would always check this before even starting to sniff.

[skweek]

I didn't have a winxp install available, still don't but will work on asap. Used virtuabox with win7 and usbpcap to sniff and then went through the pcap until I found a string that looked simular to the examples in the deviceslist.txt to come up with messagecontent and device endpoint

somewhere along troubleshooting I seam to have started up another problem and the device isnt acting like it used to, it seams the system is having a few unusal after effects at the moment, virutalbox keeps on locking up, bluetooth is crashing frequently, and when I plug in the ethernet to usb adaptor it gives the output below.

resintalled usb_modeswitch and ndiswrapper then sudo usb_modeswitch -v 0fe6 -p 9702 -W -I -K

the device isn't picked up ast a 9700 (which would be nice) or isn't picked up by any drivers that might work with it

Drop the "-I" parameter, it may disturb things.

Also, what is the output of the manual usb_modeswitch run? I'd like to see it in full.

I quote a paragraph from the usb_modeswitch main documentation (see link at the top):

Important: USB_ModeSwitch - like all programs using libusb - has to be run as root (or with "sudo") when calling it manually. Otherwise strange error messages turn up and things won't work. When trying out switching commands and strategies, it's probably easier to work at a root shell for a while ("sudo bash" or "su -").

I don't understand that.

Have you run "lsusb" again as indicated after the successful usb_modeswitch termination? Any changes?

In any case, please post the complete output of "lsusb -v -d 0fe6:9702" after inserting the device.

This looks a bit psychotic since a 00 class never makes sense at the interface level, and certainly not for a composite device like this one...

But anyway, based on the vendor ID my guess is that this is a slightly different version of the "CoreChip-sz SR9700" ethernet device, for which there is no less than 2 drivers in the kernel (I have no idea why, and which one is best):

Code: Select all

bjorn@nemi:/usr/local/src/git/linux$ git grep 0fe6 drivers/net/
drivers/net/usb/dm9601.c:       USB_DEVICE(0x0fe6, 0x8101),     /* DM9601 USB to Fast Ethernet Adapter */
drivers/net/usb/dm9601.c:        USB_DEVICE(0x0fe6, 0x9700),    /* DM9601 USB to Fast Ethernet Adapter */
drivers/net/usb/sr9700.c:               USB_DEVICE(0x0fe6, 0x9700),     /* SR9700 device */
drivers/net/usb/sr9800.c:               USB_DEVICE(0x0fe6, 0x9800),     /* SR9800 Device  */

You could add the device ID to one, or all, of these drivers, and see if that works. If not, then I'm afraid you'll have to go and dig up the datasheet and figure out what differences there are and how to make one of the drivers support your device.

You'll unfortunately have to modify and rebuild the drivers to test a new device ID. The "new_id" method won't work with them because they require a non-zero .driver_info field.

I would give that a try, I'm not sure how though. Any suggestions?

Seeing your lsusb interface list I retract what I wrote about switching the device and do instead agree with what bmork wrote.
Your lsusb listing did also show that this is a USB 1.1 device which means a max USB speed of 12Mbps so a 100MBps ethernet speed is not to think of.

You can read another users experience with this or a very similar device from the same company:

and you can get some hint of what you should have bought (Asix or MosChip based) here:

What you have is some old crap so do yourself a favor and throw it in the waste basket, it is not worth the effort trying to get it working when a good one is only $5.
