I never get the /dev/ttyUSB0 created. This same adapter works fine on the PC running Debian or Ubuntu. If anyone has a usb serial working, what chipset is it using?

power kernel 46 seems to have usbserial.ko in place but because pl2303.ko is missing ... you get the idea
diablo version of pl2303.ko don't work ( forcing mode ; got some errors revealed in dmesg )
i tried to compile a new version but i have problems with my ironport proxy and dns as usual in scratchbox.

Late edit:
I compiled pl2303.ko against 10power46 kernel.
i will test it after a long sleep ( offtopic : & my regular saturday enduro ride )

Later edit 2
i put the driver here, for convenience but i don't test it yet

Is there a way to get write support for NTFS? At the moment I can see my NTFS harddisk, but I can't write files towards it. FAT and FAT32 are both working fine.

Mount button doesnt work all the times so I m mounting manually the connected devices but they are read-only. Can someone tell me the right way to give them write permissions? I tried chmod with all the ways but no light.

Code:

mount -o uid=29999,gid=29999,utf8,dmask=027,fmask=137 [dev node] [mount point]

Don't do that, the new package is fixed, don't mess with dpkg's database!

but how to work on lan adapter? i tested in full speed hostmode, router can detect the lan signal, but can't connect network though wired lan. I don't know how to setup by wired lan, can anyone help me?? thanks!

I tried connecting a usb network adapter. The connection between the adapter and the N900 worked but the N900 does not connect to the internet.

How can I make this work? What packages must I install?

If nothing is available can someone write a program that allows us to do so?

Thanks

Re: Thread for problems getting USB hostmode working.
 
sorry if this has been asked before, but do you have to install the power kernel in order to make this work?
I've heard bad things about the modified kernel so i prefer to keep the original one.. thanks

Re: Thread for problems getting USB hostmode working.
 
Yes you do need the power kernel to get the host mode working.

I just installed h-e-n, but I dont really know here I can find the mounted device.
.Thx for the help.

//edit : Just rebooted again and now every thing's working fine ;)
Great job all people who made the host mode possible.
