How can I install USB 1.0 drivers after I have used the zipper script to install a new drive?

My network device is a USB100M (USB 1.0) and it appears it does not work with whatever usb driver is loaded in the zipper script.

You'll need to edit the rc.sysinit.author to insert the correct calls for the USB 1.1 drivers. I believe all of the necessary drivers are already installed but only the ones called by rc.sysinit.author actually run at bootup. It sounds like you have it set up for USB 2.0 or you're using an incompatible USB adapter.

I would strongly advise you to use the USB 2.0 drivers and spring for a decent adapter like the Netgear FA120 instead. There are usually refurb deals on ebay for less than $15. You'll regret using USB 1.1 as it is extremely slow in comparison.

this is the best deal on FA120s, $12.95 shipped: http://justdeals.stores.yahoo.net/fa120r.html

they're refurbished but who cares, they work.

Not so -- on 6.2 (which is what the Zipper is for, if I recall) you DO NOT want to insmod the drivers in rc.sysinit.author. 6.2 should autoload the proper drivers automatically.

Not sure which driver the USB100M requires (never used one).

Of course, ignore me if this is an HR10-250.

The Zipper doesn't install USB 2.0 drivers by default, so chances are you already have the stock 1.0 drivers that come with 6.2. And Cheer is correct, 6.2 autoloads the drivers.

The USB ports are disabled on directv units. I remember having to enable them... I thought it was by loading drivers. Am I wrong?

Yes, you are wrong. The ports are not "disabled" -- it's just that an unhacked DirecTivo doesn't use them for anything, and they are firewalled as well. But an unhacked DTivo will still use DHCP and grab an IP address, etc.

I stand corrected. I'm so used to using insmod for older Tivo OS versions that I forgot they're autoloaded with 6.2.

If you used Zipper to hack your Tivo then you can run the tweak uninstall script and rerun it to install the proper drivers. USB 1.1 uses the pegasys.o driver IIRC.
