cd /usr/src
svn co http://synce.svn.sourceforge.net/svn...usb-rndis-lite
cd usb-rndis-lite
make
./clean.sh
make install
On the touch start the communications manager, select "USB" as the PC connection, and then click on "Connect". Plugin the touch via the USB cable to your PC and voila! NetworkManager will be informed of the new device and make the connection.
My thanks to FordWrench for the post about the usb-rndis-lite build which made this possible. |
I am very new to linux, so i assume i am running all this from the terminal? i am also on a smaller build of ubuntu (hp mini MIE)... i am running everything find until i get to the "make" line... it says "command not found" these are the results from the sourceforge checkout...
A usb-rndis-lite/reload.sh
A usb-rndis-lite/cdc_ether.c
A usb-rndis-lite/usbnet.c
A usb-rndis-lite/ndis.h
A usb-rndis-lite/usbnet.h
A usb-rndis-lite/Kbuild
A usb-rndis-lite/clean.sh
A usb-rndis-lite/Makefile
A usb-rndis-lite/rndis_host.c
i tried "Makefile" in addition (as it is in the list) but that didnt work either. can someone please give me instructions? sorry, but i am really new to linux. thanks.
