I haven't tried the deep freeze method few suggested (keeping the Pi in fridge for couple of hours seem to make USB / Ethernet work for some folks) but I don't want to do it as it may damage the board. plug the USB-to-Ethernet-adapter into the base station (preferably the USB-port under the lid on. plug the ethernet-cable into your USB-to-Ethernet-adapter. make sure the ethernet-cable is connected to your modem router. The Unit I gave to my friend is working fine on ArchLinux and everything from SSH is working fine on that.Ĭan it be hardware problem? If yes can I use any WiFi adapters over USB? So, follow these steps to get it to work : open the lid on the back of the base station and unplug the power adapter-cable. I tried removing HDMI too it didn't work. I tried removing USB wireless keyboard / mouse, as it may drain power. I tried using 1A and 700mA power supplies as few people had suggested, but it didn't work. The more common cause for no USB devices working is low power supply voltage from bad PSU, cable, or USB hub, but in this case the problem was no clock signal present at the LAN9512 USB/Ethernet chip 'IC3', and the solution was to reflow the solder on the 25 MHz crystal 'X1' on the bottom side of the board. If my mouse is plugged in and working fine, if I plug in my gigabit ethernet adapter (even without the ethernet port plugged in) to EITHER thunderbolt port, my Logitech m510 mouse stops working completely.
GIGAWARE USB TO ETHERNET STOPPED WORKING DRIVERS
Uninstalling the drivers hangs the computers. I am seeing baffling behavior with my wireless mouse (connected via USB) and my gigabit ethernet adapter plugged in simultaneously. The display port passes signal to a second monitor though. the adapter no long shows in network properties. I checked the cable, and when connected to laptop it shows connections, so the cable is still good. Ethernet works for 5 min, then comes and goes for 5 min until finally vanishing.
The LINK LED flickers for a second while booting up, but then it doesn't do anything and they stay OFF. Everything works fine except the Ethernet port. I downloaded Wheezy on SD card and plugged in all of my cords.
