does /etc/apt/preferences have changed on PR1.3
any help ?

wget http://repository.maemo.org/extras-t....7-1_armel.deb
from extras-testing or
wget http://repository.maemo.org/extras/p....6-1_armel.deb
from extras
dpkg -i <name.deb>

But it probably are not gonna work with host-mode kernel.

hostmode is *safe* from a hw point of view. This includes applying 5V externally at any random point in time, as well as overloading or even shortcircuit of internal 5V supply aka vboost.
It's just the whole musb-core gets confused with vbus applied when it shouldn't, so we have some issues with switching speeds, entering/leaving hostmode, *not* entering peripheral mode, etc. Also, as we need to stop bme, there's not charging during hostmode for now. All this doesn't mean you could break anything - you CAN NOT, as long as you're not using overvoltaged external PSU or other obviously rogue evil crap
I said "enjoy hostmode" - I meant it like that :-) Don't worry!

<Just some suggestions for an FAQ type thing:>
Also, suppose I grab a powered USB host, the current GUI will NOT allow a USB mouse and a USB HDD at the same time.. yes? Due to having to choose a set speed? Will this be resolveable, your post says a 'might' in regards to speed detection, but will that mean multiple device support? also what is the probability of automatic detection? And as an end target, a simple auto-recognize like the N800 has (plug in charger -> charges, plug in usb stick -> mounts, plug in mouse -> sets up mouse) will ever be possible?
Hmm... I need to find a Y cable with mini + regular out to female regular. Then just need a 5v battery pack and anything would be possible with the one cable.
Code:
mini ----------------------
|--------- Female USB
5v battery pack -----------

While MohammadAG perfects his hostmode gui, the command fdisk might be useful to see the available devices to mount (at present, only /dev/sda1 gets mounted by the gui). Since fdisk is not part of any maemo5 package, I copied the easy debian one from /sbin/fdisk of the debian partition to /sbin/fdisk of the maemo rootfs. It seems to work as expected:
Seems I were wrong?? Is fdisk already part of maemo?

Description: A simple gui for mounting remote shared partition
like samba and nfs, and have it browsable under
the standard file manager.
maybe worth a look at? If it can't do what hostmode needs out of the box, then for sure it should be easy to mod it.
@izzehO: A hub does auto-speed-convert. You can plug everything same time to a single hub in single HS - so multi-device support is already there. Plug'nPlay though is highly questionable, as we got no proper OTG hardware to autodetect plug in of micro-A, and there's no other way than that to detect plug in of a memstick or any peripheral on that behalf.

Hi again,
I was abble to reproduse the reboot/shutdown when I close h-e-n, BUT only when I'm overclocked above 600MHz ( Tried with different frequencies alway the result is the same - shutdown or reboot when I close h-e-n)
How to reprodusce the issue:
(Have installed klogd and sysklogd before - rebooted N900)
1.Installed kernel - 2.6.28.10.power44
2.Installed QCPUFreq v. 0.4.0, from settings enable overclocking - change frequency to more than 600MHz close.
3.Check with Conky actual max frequency
4.Start h-e-n (v. last one - mount/unmout implented) :
-close h-e-n - resul reboot
-pres High Speed hostmode, VBUS boost on Enumerate - successful enumeration, VBUS noost off, close h-e-n - result shutdown.
tried 5 time always have shutdown/reboot when OC, when I'm not over 600MHz no problem with shutdown/reboot after close h-e-n
this is only report (unconfirmed - if someone willing to try and report). I usually do not do overclock and is not issue for me.
attaching my logfile in case you want to have a look.
AI also have e question ( not retailed to the writings up) - When I connect USB flash drive sometimes it gets enumerated right away, but sometimes it took a while to enumerate? Is this known issue with the beta driver or something else? Does someone else experience the same 'x' wait time until Flash drive (or device connected) get enumerated? Am I alone?
Tried with different devices it is the same with stock and power kernel.

On another note, upset that my Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop 2.10 doesn't appear to work with this (or the HID scripts). It appears to recognize it fine, connect it fine and register it fine, but it doesn't do anything. F lock light is toggleable (however num lock and caps lock aren't: as they are system sided I assume). Relevant log (assuming this isn't just an issue with this particular desktop.. which wouldn't surprise me given its an MS one) is below:

because some peripheral need external power it is possible to make a custom y cable like this
uB female ---o---------> uB male (with id grounded )
A female -----|
it is not standard compliant but who care
this cable can be used with or without external power provided from standard n900 charger
i will hardmod my n900 with uAB receptacle as soon i will get one for ( stylish ? ) CA-157.
( ot - please respond to my last PM it is @bme )
