Hi wb,

I'm not sure what kernel you are using. However, if you are building
your own kernel, you want to select

ASIX AX88xxx Based USB 2.0 Ethernet Adapters

in Device Drivers --> Network device support --> USB Network Adapters

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Jay

I am using kernel binary given http://code.google.com/p/beagleboard/wiki/BeagleSourceCode
Kernel (uImage) 2.6.22.18

Hi wb,

I'm not sure what options were selected in that kernel. However, I
suggest you try to build you own kernel with ASIX support as I
described in my previous post. I have the same USB device and that's
how I got it to work with the android kernels I'm working with.

Cheers,
Jay

Can I connect USB to Ethernet directly without using any USB hub. I
have got one hub but that do not have external power supply?
Thanks,

No, you can't connect the USB200M directly to the beagle. I tried to
connect it directly but the board doesn't seem to provide enough power
to power the USB200M. I use a powered hub and it works great with the
Angstrom BeagleBoardDemoImage - no need to build your own config, the
options are already chosen in the openembedded beagleboard-demo-image
build.

Its difficult to get USB hub with external supply in my city in India.

Finally I got one USB hub but its not from any standard company Which
USB driver I should select to build?
How about giving external 5V supply through connected cable and not
using USB hub?
Do I need to short 4&5 pin of OTG connector of Beagle board?

Thanks
