3.13.9 and I used The Tom Elliot Config file

None of the stock fog kernels work

Have you tried my kernel? Like, directly?

[quote=“Jeff Turley, post: 25199, member: 23568”]I have a Realtek 8153 based USB network adapter and Fog will not work with it. I can download the driver but I do not know how to compile it into a linux kernel.[/quote]
Soooo what is the machine that doesn’t have a network plug?
-
Tried your kernel directly. No luck I can PXE boot. I choose view client information from the fog screen and check client compatibility. It says network fail, disk pass. I get the following error multiple times during boot
hub2-0:1.0 couldn’t allocate port # usb_device
It puts a different # in the error each time 2 4 5 and 6

According to this, RTL8153 drivers only recently got supported in the kernels. It’s loaded with my drivers, but that doesn’t mean it actually works. Sorry there’s not much more info I can do to help. Maybe try it in another usb PORT (preferably one that’s not USB 3.0)

The pxe boot, itself, works perfectly fine.
It’s the kernel loading afterward that it can’t find the driver. My guess is the kernel driver’s just got a bug in it at the moment.

Thanks for the help. Not sure where I am going to go from here. i need to have 250 of these computers imaged my the end of may.

They’ll probably have a release in a couple of days. So I’ll keep you posted, I don’t have the device to test with either though, so I’m just shooting in the dark. You could try a different configuration file as well. You don’t have to try mine. I don’t know where the isuse is. It looks, to me, simply like it can’t attach the device on that port, maybe another one? Do you have another USB NIC you could try?
-
I am working on an L440 and got the same error using the onboard NIC. I just went in and disabled the 3.0 usb slot in the bios and it goes right to the registration/imaging screen.
Not perfect but at least it will help you get them done.

@Jeff Turley,
Did you get any resolution with this? We have just invested in the S1 Yogas with OneLink Pro docks and cannot get it connect to FOG -

Did you get any resolution with this? We have just invested in the S1 Yogas with OneLink Pro docks and cannot get it connect to FOG[/quote]To my knowledge. 3.18 kernels have this issue figured out.
Also, even if they didn’t for a bit, we narrowed what the problem was. It was NOT the kernel not having the drivers. That part actually worked perfectly. It was the kernel trying to reload a device that wasn’t released properly. A fix in the Development version(s) of fog was to add has_usb_nic=1 to the kernel arguments of the hosts this relates to. It would allow you to pause, disconnect the device and replug it back in. Then things seemed to work.
That said, reading your post you’re talking about Docks. I don’t know what’s different for them. But may try a newer kernel?

Thank you Tom for the information. I just installed (Feb 10, 2015) version 1.2.0 on Ubuntu 12.0.4.5 desktop. Traditional older clients are not having any problems. I did install the latest “Published Version” kernel yesterday, 3.14.2. I have now just installed your latest “unofficial” 3.18.4.
I’ll try it out. -
sadly, no change
-
Have you tried with the has usb nic flag enabled?
-
Any updates on this? I’ve also been unable to get this going with Yoga S1’s and the same usb adapter, I’ve tried with a bunch of different kernels and no go. I’ve tried with the flag enabled which hasn’t made a difference
I’ve attached a screenshot of the issue I’m having. If I just wait it ends up saying that there’s no network connection…[ATTACH]1781[/ATTACH][url=“/_imported_xf_attachments/1/1781_20150312_073558_resized_2.jpg?:”]20150312_073558_resized_2.jpg[/url]
