LinuxQuestions.org - rndis_host driver issue

Hi,

I'm trying to connect a htc tytn II to my linux with the usb cable. My understanding is I need the usb rndis host driver for that. So I compiled it and inserted the module.

Code:

# lsmod

Module                  Size  Used by

rndis_host              8704  0

cdc_ether              6400  1 rndis_host

usbnet                18824  2 rndis_host,cdc_ether

mii                    6400  1 usbnet

rfcomm                41376  0

l2cap                  24320  5 rfcomm

sbp2                  24972  0

btusb                  13976  2

iwlagn                85508  0

Then, I activate internet connection sharing on the phone (which is my ultimate goal), and I plug the usb cable between the linux and the phone.

I get those logs:

Code:

After that, I have an eth1 interface I didn't have before, but when I run dhclient on it, it complains that network is down. It looks like it is impossible to use this interface. I suppose the problem is related to this RNDIS_MSG_QUERY failed line.
