Hi

I just got my hands on a "TP-Link USB to Gigabit SuperSpeed UE300". HardwareID "2357:0601" Any idea on how I can find out if it will be compatible?

It is the first time I try an USB to Ethernet adapter  under ArcaOS (or OS/2). I guess I just need the USB drivers working and to put "USBMOS.OS2" on the "Adapter and Protocols".

Regards

Hi

I just checked around for hardware id 2357:0601 and some databases says "UE300 10/100/1000 LAN (ethernet mode) [Realtek RTL8153] ".

My chances do not look good.

Hi Martin,

It shouldn't matter what the network chip is since you are not connecting directly to that chip.  On the other hand it does matter what the USB chip is because that is what the USB network driver 'sees'.  Also, the unit you are talking about is a USB 3 unit and I don't know if the USB network stack has been updated to work with the XHCD driver.

Hi Ivan

I'm tring this USB Ethernet adapter on a Thinkpad L420 without USB 3.0.  Since I have dual boot, I had run Windows 10 and it works there connected to USB 2.

I just tried in ArcaOS. lsusb see it:

I tried USBETHR.OS2 from ArcaOS (version 10.57) and Lar's (version 10.234) and both didn't work.

See this note from the USBETHR.OS2 usbether.txt:

USBETHR.OS2 driver is designed to work with any Kawasaki LSI KL5KUSB101
based USB Ethernet adapter, however specific vendor/device IDs must be
specified during installation.

and this:
2.1.6   Update vendor/device IDs card parameters dialog; use the following
          identification IDs:
+-----------------------------------------------------+---------+---------+
|                    Adapter                          |Vendor ID|Device ID|
+-----------------------------------------------------+---------+---------+
|3COM USB Network Interface (3C19250) *               |   0506  |  03E8   |
|D-Link Corp. USB Ethernet Adapter (DSB-650)          |   2001  |  4000   |
|ADS Technologies Inc. USB Ethernet Adapter (USB-10BT)|   06E1  |  0008   |
+-----------------------------------------------------+---------+---------+

I would think that this HW has long gone out of business.
