Has anyone tested any USB to Ethernet devices with OS2008 yet?

Edit: I have! see post below, since I didn't think to just edit this one

I've just tested a Hawking HUF11, which is based on the Realtek 8150, and so far things are looking great!

I put the N800 in host mode, plugged the sucker in, brought up the interface and transferred a big file via scp, no problems at all, and no power injection seems to be necessary (phew)

It looks like I'll have to do some more tweaking around though, as at least the web browser tries to bring up the wifi interface, but I don't think that'll be too difficult to fix.

Edit: DUMMY IAP is necessary (thanks rps!!!), run
gconftool -s -t string /system/osso/connectivity/IAP/DEFAULT/type DUMMY
and select DEFAULT from the connection list after bringing up your interface with udhcpd, or whatever.

So you take one of those adapter, a USB to mini (800) or micro (810) USB cable, modprobe a driver, and voilà?

no modprobe necessary

also needs USB A Female to Female adapter, or soldering, cable splicing, etc.

this looks really really interesting!
wait? it's female to female? don't you need a male mini usb to plug into the n800?

I have an adapter like that on the way, but for now I'm using a normal male mini usb cable plugged into N800, with the other end, and ethernet adapter plugged into a female to female adapter.

Hello,

I am very interested in purchasing a USB to ethernet adapter that will work with my N800. I have been searching for the Hawking HUF11 that was mentioned in this thread, but have not found a place to buy it. If anyone knows where this can be purchased or another usb to ethernet adapter based on the Realtek RTL8150 chipset I would be very interested in it. This is one of the main things I want to use my N800 for: configuring routers with a wired connection. I know I can get a portable router, but I would rather go this route if possible. Thanks for any help anyone can give! I have upgraded my N800 to Beta OS2008.

Thanks!

Joshua

Edit: I found this adapter (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16833124146) that I *think* is supposed to be using the RTL8150 chipset. Can anyone confirm this one way or another? Thanks!

I'm pretty darn sure it is.

I would have bought one myself had it not been for the very poor reviews regarding the connector, which supposedly breaks very easily

Love the compact size, too bad they didn't do a very good job with the connector..

Here's a list of adapters that I think use the 8150:
GreenHouse GH-USB100B
Billionton ThumbLAN USBKR2-100B
Billionton ThumbLAN USBKR-100
Chinese adapters: zt168a CA2057
Linksys USB100M
Hawking HUF11
Melco LUA-KTX
BAFO BF-310
NetComm - USB LAN Key
Ztek USB LAN ?
3Com's "Etherfast 10/100 Compact USB Network Adapter", aka model USB100M
SMC 2208
Startech USB1100S
Abocom RTL8151
Compex UE202-B
Longshine LCS-8138TX
Micronet SP128AR
NetComm NP1010
Repotec RP-USB100-A
SMC 2208USB/ETH
TRENDnet TU-ET100C
Zt USB10/100

Bump for edit to post number 2:

Looking for a way to get native apps to recognize the available wired connection, and not bring up connection dialog for WLAN/BT.

Thanks for leading this question. If solved it'll help a lot of people, myself included.
