View Full Version : Can't get DUB-e100 to work

I've been trying to get this thing to work for days and I can't seem to break it. Here's whats up.

I have a DSR 7000 and I'm using a 120gig drive to replace my original. Not being too Linux savvy, I decided to try out the u5-151-hacked.mfs file and go from there.

Put the u5-151-hacked.mfs image onto the new drive. Drive boots fine into Tivo. My problem is, I can't get it to see my USB ethernet connector. After seeing that the DUB-E100 and the Linksys were both reported on the forum to work with the ax8817x.o, I bought the E100. I used corbelli's guide and other hackinit examples posted to insmod the drivers for the USB. Saved and chmodded my hackinit. Drive went back to the Tivo. No ethernet lights.

I've gone back and done everything again. I changed the usb drivers to the newer 2.0's that went on here. Re-wrote the hacked image. Went through corbelli's guide from scratch. Still no lights.

So, I'm stumped and looking for some help.

Thanks.

Post a copy of your hackinit file and we'll take a look at what you've done. Just download a copy to your PC using the serial connection and zmodem transfer. Open it up in any word processing program and copy the contents of the file to your post when you reply.

Did you make sure the drivers were loaded on the DTivo? I never used the hacked image but are you even sure if any of the ethernet drivers are contained in the hacked image? I have a feeling the only drivers included in the hacked image are the pegasus deivers for the USB 1.1 adapters. If that's the case, you'll need to transfer the additional drivers over to the Tivo drive using the method in cobelli's guide for transferring them from a CD. You can also transfer them via serial connection but you'll have to create the appropriate directories and such first.

I made sure to copy the new drivers to the tivo drive and made sure they were in hack/lib. I don't get it.

Thanks.

Don't you need to do an ifconfig and then (if you want Internet access), don't you need to set a default route?

I have the DUB-E100 also, and it works fine for me ... Here's the lines I have in my hackinit file for the network adapter:

#Load ethernet drivers
insmod /var/hack/lib/usbcore.o
insmod /var/hack/lib/hcd.o
insmod /var/hack/lib/ehci-hcd.o
insmod /var/hack/lib/ax8817x.o
sleep 10

ifconfig eth0 127.0.0.10 broadcast 127.0.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0
route add default gw 127.0.0.1 netmask 0.0.0.0 metric 1

Obviously you want to replace your own IP address / broadcast address and default gateway in there. You may not want to put the default gateway in there either... Although I just blocked the TiVo from accessing the Internet on my NAT.
