Binding a ethernet module to a NIC


Hi,

I have a problem getting my Corega FEther USB (TXS) ethernet device working with my DELL Latitude C600 laptop, unfortunately I don't have an internal network card.

I have been able to install Debian (Woody r4, 2.4 Kernel) base system without problem. I install the pegasus module and also the 'dummy' network device so that I could go through the initial setup adding in the necessary network configs. These were the only two this I installed during the installation. BTW, by installing the pegasus module doesn't start the network config during installation.

After tit had successfully installed, I modified the /etc/modules by moving the :

Code:
usb-uhci
to the top and adding :

Code:
pegasus alias eth0
underneath, and also removing "dummy".

I then changed the /etc/network/interfaces by removing the "dummy" config and adding :

Code:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
	address 192.168.0.3
	netmask 255.255.255.0
	etc etc ...
During bootup the pegasus module is loading before the the network interface is being initialised. When the network is being configured it comes back with errors saying the device is not found.

After searching around on Google, I added the following to /etc/modules.conf :

Code:
### update-modules: start processing /etc/modutils/pegasus
alias usb-interface usb-uhci
alias eth0 pegasus

### update-modules: end processing /etc/modutils/pegasus
And created the retospective /etc/modutils/pegasus

I presume the problem is, the network interface doesn't know to use the pegasus module as a network device. Is there anyway to bind eth0 to the pegasus module or should they automatically be assigned to one another ?


Is there anything that I'm missing or will it not work ?



Rick
