[maemo-developers] USB Networking doesn't work on my N810 (diablo) and Ubuntu Linux 8.04

[From: Andrea Grandi]

Hi all,

I've N810 (diablo release) and I'm following these instruction to
install maemo-pc-connectivity:
http://maemo.org/development/documentation/pc_connectivity/
I've installed all required software on the tablet and on my Ubuntu
PC, but I cannot use the USB networking.

When I try to do this on my PC, I get these errors:

1) I bring up usb0 on tablet using the control panel applet

2) I connect the usb cable to both PC and tablet

3) I do this:

root at noteboontu:/home/andy80# ifup usb0
usb0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
usb0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device
SIOCSIFBRDADDR: No such device
usb0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
usb0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
Failed to bring up usb0.

The device should be ok: g_ether module is loaded and usb0 interface
(with ip 192.168.2.15) is up.
I think the problem is my Ubuntu, because if I try to bring up the
same module, I get this error:

root at noteboontu:/home/andy80# modprobe g_ether
FATAL: Error inserting g_ether
(/lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/gadget/g_ether.ko):
No such device

How can I fix it? Thanks for your help!
