NDAS Client Software for Linux compilation help

The NDAS device is NOT showing up. I’m thinking that it has something to do with the implementation of the hardware connector into the ethernet hub (and network). I just can’t believe there is no IP address. I’m still experimenting with this and will get back with the results. Thanks!

The NDAS device is NOT showing up. I’m thinking that it has something to
do with the implementation of the hardware connector into the ethernet
hub (and network). I just can’t believe there is no IP address. I’m

Hi
Looks like its iSCSI, so on the windows system you installed a driver?
Also what model is yours? If you install wireshark, you will probably
see broadcasts from it.

Yes, I did install a driver for the proprietary software on Windows. It was for an ethernet connection and I do not remember the name of it either.

The model is an OWC NAS Perform enclosure.

I installed wireshark and do see the XiMeta Technologies broadcasts but do not see any associated IP address though. Maybe that is why it isn’t seen at the router?

I have the capture file that I would like to exchange with you, if you will consider that as reasonable of course, and don’t know that I can upload attachments here. What do you suggest?

Thanks again for the continued assistance.

Hi
OK, hence the driver, in a windows system, can you right click on the
computer icon->properties->device manager (or however you get to the
device manager) and look for the device (either under network or disk
drives). When you find it, the right click-> properties, then under the
driver tab I think, there is an opportunity to see the ‘device id’ in
the drop down. It should be something like VEN_nnnnn&DEV_nnnn can you
post the numbers (this is the PCI ID) and any other info you may think
pertinent.

There is no Device ID or PCI ID either. I have seen these Advanced Details before with devices but this one does not have anything like that.

Hi
OK, so some more digging and came across this from 2012;
http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/networking/ximeta-ndas-support

So, looks like a bit of a dead duck so to speak until a driver is
finished…

…and I have not heard anything from gregkh as of yet either. This makes me believe that I am indeed at a dead end for now. Possibly something in the future but in the mean time I’m going to be working on getting a network set up between my windows and linux boxes. I suppose it’s “Samba, here I come.” All I know about samba is that was a word I heard Doug Yriart utter back in the day when he began tinkering with Linux. Oh for the good old times.
