For anyone who was using USB LAN connections in Chinook but found that they were stranded in Diablo, here's the info you've been looking for:

Nokia was kind enough to half-fix the problem (they provided a module to support dummy connections, but it doesn't work quite as well as it should); they're saying that there will be a full/proper fix but that will come later when the developers have more time (i.e. Sept?).

Anyways, in the mean time I've taken what they put forth and done some hacking up to get it bundled into the latest version of the usbLAN package that you can grab from my support files here:

I've confirmed that it works on Diablo without issue; the only big difference between using the package on Diablo VS Chinook is that instead of getting a connection named "WIRED" showing up int he connections panel, it's called "Dummy" (that was one of the issues with the Nokia provided solution thus far... the DUMMY connection is hardwired to be called Dummy).

Outside of that though it works exactly the same way: install package along with Dbus-Scripts, connect network adapter to ethernet cable, plug network adapter into USB port using OTG (if desired), select "Dummy" from the available connections in the connection manager, and away you go.
When you're done, disconnect the USB cable and the Dummy connection will automatically disappear.

Details for anyone who's unsure about the process are in the Wiki Entry:

I'm also going to add another post to the main General forum describing this since this one's pretty tucked away and I think a lot of users are going to miss it here.

Thanks,
