[N9] How to connect to internet over usbnet?
 

The Harmattan dev docs have a section on setting up internet connection over USB. Despite an error in the docs I kind-of got it working. "Kind-of" because although it works from terminal, web browser and the like still think I'm offline.

I found N900 usbnet wiki page which says that I have to install libicd-network-dummy. Is there anything similar for N9? It would be cool to have an app/plugin which would show USB in network connections, and perform the necessary setup when connected. Also I miss an option to use DHCP for usb0 (I mean with N9 as the client instead of server).

PS. The error in dev docs - instead of one should use It seems that /sbin is not in the $PATH (at least not for me, neither for user nor root) and develsh is necessary to do some Aegis massage.

Configured internet via usb, it works, ok.
Now I am wondering how to cheat N9 not to check for internet connection. I mean 3rd party software (Firefox, meecast) or system software (apt-get, ping, etc) work perfect but Nokia's browser, skype, ovistore do not.

Found this:
http://maemo.gitorious.org/icd2-netw.../master/README
Installed the module, can see it in the network list BUT when I try to connect manually, it says that it failed.

So does anyone have any ideas how to make N9 think that it is online when internet-via-usb is activated?

About the module on gitorious: Are you sure Aegis isn't blocking it?

Re: [N9] How to connect to internet over usbnet?
 

Hm. It blocked installation so I used dpkg.real to install it and checked that the lib appears in /usb/lib/icd (or whatever it is). Can it block the module in icd2 service?

if you use libicd-network-dummy you can make a working fake IAP for your usbnet. That lib-network-usb fails by some reason.

I just tested and created dummy iap and seems to work nicely.

My colleague found another solution - simply make an empty adhoc network, once enabled, it does what dummy/usb are supposed to do - shuts the icd up :-)

is there any step by step tutorial? is the gitorius still needed to installed?

thanks.

You don't need nothing from gitorius.
Follow up this guide: http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/docs/...onnection.html
