[Driver] Asix AX88772 kernel module (USB Ethernet)

转载：http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37548841#post37548841

Hello, this is my first dev posting, so let me know if there is anything missing...

I have a Samsung Galaxy SIII S3 SGH-I747M (Bell) with Jelly Bean 4.1.1 kernel 3.0.31 (stock rooted, root66_BMC_I747MVLDLK4.7z). I also have an Asix USB LAN adapter

(from monoprice) + USB OTG cable which did not work out of the box... but i am a software engineer... so I made it work. The process below should work for other carriers / modules if you find the proper kernel source.
Compiling latest drivers directly from Asix is the best method... Read that part first!

Read the README that comes with your kernel source, you may need a different compiler!
https://github.com/AdiPat/Android_Toolchains is where I got mine...

Details about the Asix AX88772 USB lan RJ45 adapter chipset can be found here:

http://www.asix.com.tw/products.php?...emID=86;71;101

You can skip to "Usage instructions" section and download pre-compiled modules, if you have
identical kernel + phone

built from SGH-I747M_BMC_JB_Opensource.zip (I747MVLDLK4, my phone) +
latest Asix driver, works great!!!

Work in progress

Build environment setup:

-Get root access on a Ubuntu Natty (11.04) or similar linux build machine / virtual machine

-Install standard unix compiler tools
apt-get install build-essential
-Install library for menuconfig
apt-get install libncurses5-dev
-Install lzop (android compression util)
apt-get install lzop
-Install git
apt-get install git
-Download Android toolchains using git

cd /root

git clone https://github.com/AdiPat/Android_Toolchains.git
-Download samsung kernel
SGH-I747M_BMC_JB_Opensource.zip (international model, etc, also available)... Or download your 3rd party Cyanogenmod,etc kernel SOURCE instead.

-Extract to /root/kernel
mkdir /root/kernel

cd /root/kernel

unzip SGH-I747M_BMC_JB_Opensource.zip

-Set path so Android compiler can be found
export CROSS_COMPILE=/root/Android_Toolchains/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/arm-eabi-

**EDIT: newer kernels, such as Cyanogenmod 10.2.1, use this
export CROSS_COMPILE=/root/Android_Toolchains/arm-eabi-4.6/bin/arm-eabi-

Compiling built-in kernel modules: (left for documentation sake, the better method is "Compiling latest drivers directly from Asix")

-Generate '.config' file in kernel folder (replace 'm2_att_defconfig' with name of file in 'arch\arm\configs\')
make arch=arm m2_att_defconfig
-Modify kernel config to include Asix module and usbnet module
make menuconfig

[M] Multi-purpose USB Networking Framework

[M] ASIX AX88xxx Based USB 2.0 Ethernet Adapters

For reference here is the help info for the 2 options that are now set to 'M'

-Compile modules, where 2 is the number of CPU cores you have (speeds it up)
make -j2 && make -j2 modules

-Once finished, grab your modules
/root/kernel/drivers/net/usb/usbnet.ko

/root/kernel/drivers/net/usb/asix.ko

Usage instructions:

-Use a root explorer such as ES File manager
Mount /system as rw in ES File manager root settings

copy asix.ko and usbnet.ko to /system/lib/modules/

-Use a terminal emulator / adb shell to load modules (asix depends on usbnet, so load usbnet first)
su

cd /system/lib/modules

insmod usbnet.ko

insmod asix.ko

-If there are errors, run 'dmesg' and see section called "Insmod errors"

-If there are no errors, you should see 'eth0' in 'netcfg'

-'lsmod' lists modules loaded

-Connect your USB ethernet adapter to an ethernet network

-netcfg should show eth0 as connected

-Setup ethernet settings, if you want static address, for typical internet router at 192.168.1.1
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.100 netmask 255.255.255.0

route add default gw 192.168.1.1 dev eth0

setprop net.dns1 192.168.1.1

ip addr show

ip route show

-Setup ethernet settings, if you want automatic dhcp address
dhcpcd eth0

-If you want one-click enable of your USB, see section "usbnet widget"

Insmod errors:

exec format error : wrong compiler / wrong kernel source / wrong phone

init_module failed usbnet.ko (file exists) : module already loaded or built into kernel

no such file or directory : run dmesg immediately after attempt... you are missing module dependency

can't open usbnet.ko : are you root?

usbnet widget

Install
Smanager

Download my usbnet script http://pastebin.com/zQRQ6Kdj
Use a quality notepad editor such as
notepad ++ to edit, ensure line endings are "Unix"

Place in /system/lib/modules/usbnet *cannot be on sdcard, as sdcard is a windows filesystem*

In terminal emulator / adb: "chmod 777 /system/lib/modules/usbnet"

Open Smanager

-Menu -> Scripts

-Menu -> Browser -> /system/lib/modules/usbnet

-Ensure "Fav", "SU" and "is executable" are checked and give it a name 'usbnet', press save.

On homescreen, add widget, Smanager, pick your script 'usbnet'

You now have 1 click access to loading the modules, setting IP address, and testing connectivity to your router.

Kernel source
GT-I930_JB_Opensource_Update7.zip
While building the kernel, the make config step is different
make arch=arm m0_00_defconfig
There is a third module built,
/root/kernel/drivers/net/mii.ko
Usage instructions, new order of operations

insmod mii.ko

insmod usbnet.ko

insmod asix.ko
/system/lib/modules is not persistent on this phone, instead store modules + usbnet script
/system/media
Compiling latest drivers directly from Asix

For some reason on my phone the stock kernel asix module did not work 100%.

I could insmod both modules, and using Wireshark, I verified my computer was receiving 'ping' packets, but the phone wasn't getting any 'ping reply' packets. This latest Asix driver works perfectly for me.

UPDATE:: http://www.asix.com.tw/FrootAttach/d...Source.tar.bz2 is available, but I have not tried it!

Follow "Environment setup" above

Code:

cd kernel_src_folder

Generate kernel '.config' file (replace 'm2_att_defconfig' with name of file in 'arch\arm\configs\')

Code:

make arch=arm m2_att_defconfig

Code:

mkdir /root/asix && cd /root/asix

Code:

wget http://www.asix.com.tw/FrootAttach/driver/AX88772B_772A_760_772_178_LINUX_Driver_v4.4.1_Source.zip[/code] 
Code:
unzip AX88772B_772A_760_772_178_LINUX_Driver_v4.4.1_Source.zip


Code:
rm -rf Makefile


# we are replacing the Makefile with a new one.... if you edit, ensure indents = TABS

Code:
wget http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=4xLxksX3 -O Makefile


Code:
CROSS_COMPILE=/root/Android_Toolchains/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/arm-eabi- make


**EDIT: newer kernels, such as Cyanogenmod 10.2.1, use this

Code:
CROSS_COMPILE=/root/Android_Toolchains/arm-eabi-4.6/bin/arm-eabi- make


Follow the "usage instructions" above, but since this is an "all-in-one" module, remove references to 'usbnet'

Thanks to viulian for his inspirational
post here in regards to compiling external module.

If you want to compare your phone's kernel configuration to the one in the download source from Samsung,

read this post:

Thanks to zhlvf for pointing
this , there is a way to hack android to think Wifi is connected when an USB ethernet is plugged in... (solves issues in some apps, like google play / market, which ignore USB ethernet as a valid connection).
