Needed packages for usb to ethernet port
-
I am using USB to ethernet port as alternative to ethernet expansion but I don't know how to configure it.. Ethernet port lights are on but not connected. Is there needed package to install. https://s.amsu.ng/ZEOkVCBAaYWN

@Mar-Adrian-Belen There is not really enough information to be able to provide an accurate answer, please provide more information about the device such as the brand and model.
Generally speaking you will need to install a supporting driver, you can try using the generic kernel module.
opkg install kmod-usb-net
reboot the Omega2
ifconfigThe last command will show the network interfaces, see if a new interface has been added, it will probably be named eth1
ip

Thank you for your reply. I a using a generic USB3-to-ethernet adapter. I have tried to install that, but it needs dependencies to be installed

Update: I have found this https://community.onion.io/topic/2246/cannot-satisfy-dependencies-for-kmod-usb-net-rndis/7. is this still relevant? I am using omega2 onion

@Mar-Adrian-Belen Yes that post is still relevant, the kernel versioning is a pain in the a@#s but it has its purposes. Try using opkg --force-depends --force-checksum install kmod-usb-net
Otherwise you need to use the build system to build the kernel and the module with the same versioning.

I have found this thread, and it is similar to my problem.
I edited mydistfeeds.confsame on him, and execute the commandopkg --force-depends --force-checksum install kmod-usb-netwhy the propose solution does not work on me lol.
For the final solution , is there a tutorial about it?
