I've got problems with dummy connection.
I tried to do it by myself - manually insmodding proper module.
I've had maemo-pan installed - every time I've selected "dummy" from connection manager - I've seen notification that none of my authorized bluetooth devices were found.
I can ping remote hosts even with dns resolve but the browser is "connecting" with no effect.

They do come up on ebay but not too often, you need to keep checking.

This was the last one that went in the UK: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Linksys-10-100...QQcmdZViewItem

Thanks Darren, I just picked up 4.

Hi, I downloaded dbus script and USB LAN packages from WIKI and I followed the steps and as I'm using adapter with different chip I entered usbEthUp.sh and at the end it said "connecte to WIRED" but can't surf internet or do anything related to internet. By the way I'm using N810 with the latest software and in message I got after usbEthUP.sh is:
/usr/sbin # usbEthUp.sh

No value set for `/system/osso/connectivity/IAP/auto_connect'

Please guide me through it, I'm a newbie as well.. thanks.
One confusion: While going through Kate Alhola's blog there's the mentioning of configuring Linux server. So, is the internet connection via computer? coz how I'm trying now is, I got ADSL modem and I connect the ethernet cable from that modem to the ethernet adapter and to my IT directly, no computer involved. Moreover, I just use Vista in my computer. thanks again...

I bought some of those, but so far no success with them. But the problem may lie elsewhere... as I noted in another thread I can't even see a Dummy or Wired connection option...

Too many threads around here to keep on top of all the time! Anyways, I'm not sure what the general consensus is with which products work and which don't, but in my own tests and experimentation I do NOT recommend usb-ethernet adapters made by knock-off/non branded companies. In general they seem to work on a "this one works for me, that one fails to initialize, this one works for 5 minutes and explodes" sort of basis. The last "cheapie" one I picked up looked identical to the one that darren linked to on Ebay (though mine was braded as "n-gear") and it was the most horrific piece of junk ever created... the product ID and manufacturer ID were not correct, requiring manual alterations to the kernel driver source and a recompile... okay, Linux, USB devices, fair enough, sometimes it happens... but even after all that work when I finally got it recognized I had to use a powered hub (even though the thing was only USB 1.1), AND it only worked sometimes. 1 out of 5 times it would succeed on a DHCP discover, only to suddenly stop working after a minute or two (sometimes even disappearing from the USB bus all together!). Anyways, the long story short here... in my oppinion, if you're serious about wanting to use usb networking, get a Linksys USB100M. If you want to try and fiddle around with something cheap, then be prepared to spend a lot of time fiddling around and don't expect any guarantees that it will work properly in the end; it may do, it may not.

Trouble is, finding them is nigh on impossible. Anyone who stocks branded goods has moved on to USB1000Ms etc. I can't find any online stockists who'll ship to the UK, and couldn't find any in any store in San Francisco.

I've ended up spending £3.40 for the linked one, worst case: I'm no worse off (apart from a London pint) than I am now; best case: working USB networking.

If you know of a (preferably worldwide) reputable and reliable source for Linksys USB100Ms, please share :-)

The blue ones are all over ebay (in various colors) and are built on the Realtek RTL8150L chipset.

Rob, if you want one to play with, PM me your address and I'll send ya one free.

EDIT: this is odd-- when I plugged one into my laptop the first time, it said RTL8150L device found... but when I plugged it in a second time, it said DM9601...

As I said before I've actually got one sitting here, perhaps the chipset is slightly different I'll have to dig it out and have another go, but if somebody could post a dmesg printout of what you get when you connect yours I'd just like to verify that I'm getting the same output here.

As for Linksys USB100Ms, you can still get them from my site (I do my very best to keep them in stock specifically for we Tablet folk ;-) ); pick it up with an OTG adapter and consolidate on some shipping while you're at it too ) (It's only $11 canadian after all):

(Sorry about the blatant plug for my own website, but it is geared towards this community, so it's not like it's shameless and I'm certainly not saying that there aren't any other options)

Thanks,

For shipping to the UK it also quotes $11; is that correct? The courier prices get very pricey.

Certainly, if I can't get a cheapo-knockoff working, I'll seriously consider a USB100M from you.
