Trottmpq,
Can you also post the output of the follwing command shortly after plugging in the adapter: dmesg | tail -n 20

here you are
thanks again

ok so further to yesterday I have done a bit more digging and it seems the USB adaptor has some issues with linux anyway. (not ideal) but its not impossible to fix I dont think.
I have found someone that has that had a similar problem (but not on a myRIO) and solved it like this
Ive downloaded the driver now onto the myRIO, extracted it and found that the standard method of installing the driver is not working
# ./configure # make # make install
Is this not available as an option in real time linux? or am I barking up the wrong track entirely

Trottmpq,
The primary issues here are that there are no kernel headers or configuration files on the target, let alone the tools needed to compile a kernel module on the target itself. It's probably best to take the approach of getting the kernel source and configuration for the 9068 as it shipped and setup a kernel cross-compilation setup (basically, all that is needed to make that work is to change how you call make to compile the kernel). Once you've gotten that working, it them makes sense to check to see if there's a way to make the cross-compile flow work for the driver that you've located. There are some great resources out there, but you're going to need to get your hands dirty if you want to make the adapter that you've got work.
It's probably much, much easier to find an adapter that has better Linux support. Specifically, one that's supported by the kernel configuraiton (accessible on the running system by the /proc/config.gz pseudo-file)

Yeah I'm inclined to agree. Like I said my linux knowledge is very limited and that could well be beyond me for the moment.
Would you be able to recomend an apropriate adaptor that is available from a UK supplier?

Unfortunately, to some extent any recommendations I would make would be speculative, and I am currently away from my (similarly-configured) 9068 to try things out. Appologies for not being more helpful.

Sorry for the long delay in the followup, I have tested the following adapter successfully:

Hi BradM.
Sorry for refloating the post, but I'm interested if the adapter worked out of the box or you configured something.

The adapter worked out-of-the-box. Even showed up in MAX and everything.

Thanks BradM!
