Hi,
I want to make a USB ethernet device... where can I find resources as
to programmable USB devices that can be purchased for prototyping... I
dont want just the USB chip... is there some manufacturer that makes a
full insertable USB device that Embedded Linux is known to work on?  If
so which ones are reccomended?

Thanks
Lyle

Quoted text here. Click to load it
Quite a number of small microcontrollers have onboard USB client and
ethernet controllers nowdays.
You can run uClinux on a lot of the intel IXP42x series quite painlessly.
There are many others you can find.
You can get manufactured USB->Ethernet converters, but I doubt they'd have
full processors inside - buy a cheap one and open it up perhaps ?

regards,
