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

[From: tz]

It didn't register the device.  You should see (when you insert the cable):

[102074.888000] usb 5-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 13
[102075.020000] usb 5-3: configuration #1 chosen from 2 choices
[102075.188000] usb0: register 'cdc_ether' at usb-0000:00:1d.7-3, CDC
Ethernet Device, da:dd:10:ad:65:e0
[102075.188000] usbcore: registered new interface driver cdc_ether

The dmesg output from the tablet shows nothing with usb, gadget, or
ether, just a lot of noise.  Try "dmesg | grep -3 -i usb" and or grep
for ether or gadget.

possible causes:

1. The N810 is in USB host mode, not target mode.
2. The g_ether module didn't register (not in dmesg, but should be,
with either success or failure - note the mass storage gadget will
block g_ether).
3. Bad cable or USB port or something.  cdc_ether is there but doesn't
see anything to bind to.
