Hi to ALL!
As on topic I'll like to know what's the usbadm8511.device...
Thank you!

EDIT: it was in the NetIntefaces drawer with eth3com.device and the realtek's...

Hi,

I justed googled about ADM8511 and it seems to be some USB to Ethernet connector.
Cool, didn't know that OS4 has something like that

Ciao, Alfred

@Serpi

I googled that too but never heard of something about that on OS4...and dont fonud nothing on docs...
Maybe some dev/beta testers may explain us that better...

ADM8511 is a chipset used in USB - Ethernet adaptors. Supported in OS4 since quite some time.

@Cyborg

ok i got that...
but pratically why we need that? We just have a ethernet connector on our motherboards...for example wasnt better to madea driver to support a usb wireless pen? Just my 2 cents...no flames...

Well, for example you could add an extra LAN port without needing a PCI slot? Of course the existing low speed USB1.1 in OS4.x makes this a little bit laughable

If you have an SE and have got USB working by adding a NEC usb card and not using the onboard lan, then adding a USB lan adapter would be useful.

Or maybe if you are using the onboard lan port with wireless bridge to access a wireless network and you also want wired network access at the same time then adding an additional lan port with a USB adapter could also be of use to you.

Both examples are real possibilities for finding a USB network adapter useful even when you already have onboard networking

Well as the adm8511 is a usb1.x dev ice, usb2.0 would not matter at all.

Anyone can say me some usb key brands that uses that chip?

@Tuxedo

So you're saying you don't want other people to have choices? Some guy has a device, writes a driver, gets it released with AmigaOS4 and this is somehow BAD to you?

This weeks pet peeve:
Using "voltage" instead of "potential", which leads to inventing new words like "amperage" instead of "current" (I, measured in A) or possible "charge" (amperehours, Ah or Coulomb, C). Sometimes I don't even know what people mean.

@Tuxedo

For me also. But on the X1000 this driver is an alternate to a PCI card if you can find the hardware.

I have a NetGear wireless USB stick I tested with this driver. Didn't work. Of coruse. It has a RealTek chipset. So if the chipset was supported all we need is a transport layer.

@Hypex

I belive many UK ISPs used to provide 'usb modems' for free, if they used the correct chipset then you might be able to get nline without purchaseing an additional router.

Whilst a wireless dongle would surely be useful it doesn't mean these are not useful, the more drivers the better.

and all others
I add myself to the discussion.
In my Amigaone g3-se situation I can't use the 3com onboard lan cause it's faulty (even did a reflow but no success)
so, in order to use the sii3112, since the onboard ide is not so reliable, and to have the USB 2 Nec card, since usb on board doesn't work, and to have a sound card, I need to find such usb to ethernet adapter that uses the adm8511 chip (otherwise I can use an rtl3189 card but I'll miss something).
strangely enough, after deep search on google, I wasn't able to find one.
There is a guy that in is blog here:
http://wtigers.com/cs/blogs/brian/archive/2009/03/29/trendnet-usb-to-10-100mbps-adapter-cheap-usb-nic.aspx
states that the trendnet tu2-eth100 adapter, version b1, the light blue one here:
http://www.trendnet.com/langit/downloads/list_subcategory.asp?SUBTYPE_ID=697&SUBMIT=Go
but trendnet states all their 4 versions of the adapter are based on ASIX chips, specifically:
The version 1 and 2 uses AX 88172
The version 3 uses AX88772
The version 4 uses AX88772ALFI then asked a lot of ebay sellers whether they could tell me what chip their adapters use, very few had this information, nobody had the proper chip.
so, by now, I have not yet been able to find a brand/model that uses that adm8511 chip
I asked on the hyperion forum whether someone knows the author of this driver so to ask him.
this is a main issue for me, otherwise the only solution is to have a rework, reballing of the 3com chip or substitute it, not an easy/cheap thing to do.
So I am asking here:
if anybody knows of a usb to ethernet dongle that uses this chip, please tell me brand and model.
to know is very easy, just plug the adapter into amiga or a pc and the system will tell the adapter's chip name.
thanx

@olegil

maybe I've wrote wrong but never want to write what you read..sorry...

30 seconds googling reveals:

http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Aros/Platforms/AROS_USB_support#USB_.E2.86.92_ethernet_convertor

ADM8511 == Pegasus 2 chipset

(That's not to imply that the Sirion stack compatible driver will have the same level of support, or work with the same devices, as the Poseidon one.

I know of one good use of a USB to eth device...

any android phone, when connected to a pc via a USB cable, spoofs as an ethernet device so one can use the wireless 3g modem function, driverless.

Try the Belkin USB 10/100 MPN 2286839098 USB 1.0/1.1 Adapter.

I saw one on ebay for $7 USD.

very nice search, I already knew from here
http://www.trade-taiwan.org/WebSiteTemp/en/a4.asp?page=2&v_id=84149836&bk=
that this chip is called pegasus II.
Aros doesn't have a usbadm8511.device driver as Amiga OS4.1 do.
instead, it has the pecasus.class in the poseidon classes
I have just written to belkin to know which chip their f5d5050 adapter uses.
I will try to contact all the other brands to ask the same question
it's a long search
thank you very much for the link
regards

@satiropan

Poseidon supports both Pegasus 2 chipsets and some ASIX chipsets through different classes (pegasus.class, asixeth.class) as well as a few others.

The Belkin F5D5050 uses the Pegasus 2 chipset (I have one).
