Networking for the PlayStation 2
Although drivers for PlayStation 2 Ethernet hardware have not been implemented yet (see issue #19), it’s easy to use a corresponding Ethernet USB adapter, for example a D-Link DUB-1312, having USB id 0b95:1790, based on Asix Electronics AX88179 gigabit Ethernet hardware. It’s preconfigured as a loadable module with CONFIG_USB_NET_AX88179_178A=m in arch/mips/configs/ps2_defconfig, installed as kernel/drivers/net/usb/ax88179_178a.ko in the INITRAMFS.
The INITRAMFS is preinstalled with Dropbear, for secure shell (SSH) services, with /etc/inetd.conf and programs compiled and installed in /usr/bin:
dropbear -> dropbearmulti
dropbearmulti
scp -> dropbearmulti
ssh -> dropbearmulti
Note
You will need to install SSH keys yourself to make use of Dropbear.
Tip
Installing your own certificates, in particular, makes it possible to login without password prompts, and automate scripted commands on PlayStation 2 hardware.
