Re: USB to Ethernet?
Is the Realtek RTL8150 Chipset the only supported one?
Can't find any of these listed USB-to-Ethernet Adapters with RTL8150 Chipset here in Germany. :-( |

I've been meaning to compile a bunch of modules, just haven't gotten around to it yet. When I do, I'll be sure to share them. |
Re: USB to Ethernet?
Ok, I finally got around to compiling modules, all of them compiled and load ok, so if anyone would like test them with other USB > Ethernet devices, here they are:
http://maemobox.org/dblank/usbnet.tgz This should cover all adapters supported in kernel 2.6.21 |
Re: USB to Ethernet?
Thanks! I'll have the N810 in my hands tomorrow and I'll try to find a USB-Ethernet adapter on Friday to test this with. I'll read through to see if it's mentioned earlier,
but what exactly am I to do with the modules? Sorry for the basic question. Any progress on getting native apps to work with the connection? If not, what apps do work with it, and how? Oh yea, and I still need to find a micro USB adapter. Not even sure which kind yet--A, B, A/B? A little confused there but I'll do some reading to clear it up. |

Included modules are: catc dm9601 kaweth mcs7830 pegasus Extract from the .tgz like this: tar -xzf usbnet.tgz Load appropriate module, ex: insmod mcs7830.ko Then configure your adapter manually or via DHCP, and enjoy using command line utilities and other apps that don't try to bring up a connection dialog :) No luck getting the browser to work, and no answer to my enhancement request on bugs.maemo.org, I haven't messed around with it for a while, was really hoping someone else would figure it out :) Easiest way to make the USB connection would be USB-A-Female to Mini-B-Male for the N800, but for the N810 I'm not sure. If all you want to use are "normal" applications, I don't think I'd bother getting an ethernet adapter until someone figures out how to make them see the connection, but if you want to just mess around, or use commandline apps, etc. go for it! |
Re: USB to Ethernet?
Have you tried launching the executables (for browser etc.) directly from the command line in xterm ? I seem to remember the icons in the menus start them through some wrapper shell script that brings up the WLAN connection if it isn't already active... maybe the plain binary could work ?

I'm gonna try messing with dbus again, I don't remember what I did last time, but I was probably half asleep :) |
Re: USB to Ethernet?
Sorry for the false lead, was probably only half awake too :-)
