Allnet 0187 (ALL0187) linux driver (WIP)
As I have no solution yet, this post must be considered work in progress (WIP).
I am running Linux and plan on using an HomePNA (laso called HPNA) phoneline network via an Allnet ALL0187 USB to HPNA adapter. My system recognized the device partly and is now using the “pegasus” driver - which as far as I see it, doesn’t fully work. Also the lamps on the device aren’t lighting up as they used to on a Windows XP machine…
A related post on a german mailing list implies that there is no possibility that I get my Allnet HPNA to work. But still, many posts are very old and I hope that the Pegasus/Pegasus II project impoved support so far.
Things I have to figure out:
- What is the current version of my pegasus driver installed. And: is there a newer version available from CVS
- How do I upgrade the driver from this CVS (haven’t done this before)
- What is the difference between pegasus and pegasusII?
- Is it true that pegasus once was meant to operate USB devices while never versions are now rewritten to support only PCI devices? (I would then need to use the older version for USB devices…)
