Re: N800 USB Host Mode Experiment
 

Bummer, so we still don't have the ultimate mobile aircrack-ng device.
Thanks, as soon as I find the time to upgrade to 2008 I'll pm you (edit: actually I shouldn't need the firmware, since it's the same I'm using under x86, isn't it?)

Re: N800 USB Host Mode Experiment
 

Is it possible to do Host-Mode using an adapter like this?

Re: N800 USB Host Mode Experiment
 

Alright guys. I HAVE FINALLY FOUND IT!

This is what we need:

I am 100% positive it is the right one.

P.S. Unfortunately for me, it ships to U.S. addresses only, so if anyone is willing to help send one over to me, do PM me.

Re: N800 USB Host Mode Experiment
 

That is precisely what I use! It's wonderful, and the only thing that could make it better is if someone came up with a cable that had a mini USB-A connector (for the n800/n810) on one end and a female A connector like the linked item has, for a direct connection. I'm quite tempted to hack a USB extension cable to replace the full size female A with a mini-male-A and add a small jack in the middle of the cable to provide 5V to power-hungry devices. I have a PSP on-the-go charger that can power something as power-intensive as a USB 30GB hard drive to plug into the connector. I'll post pictures if I get around to it.

I bought this last week, from ebay $0.99... Shipping was $3.75. (In fact I bought two to get one spare and save on combined shipping...)

I does work fine, but you need manually set the N800 to host mode. (Adapter does not have the ID pin configured for automatic operation (OTG).)

UPDATE: Since the other connector is 4-pin jack... it can't physically support OTG... But manual (forced) configuration works fine.

How about one of the following solutions from Maplins ?

In particular the L16BT - USB A(F)-5pin(M) Adp

They have a number of gender changers there.

Your thoughts please :)

Re: N800 USB Host Mode Experiment
 

Yes, this together with the orignal n800 cable should work. Then you have to switch to Hostmode manually.

If you want to switch automaticly to Host, you have to connect pin 4 and 5.
You can modify your cable, or modify the usb-port in the n800 (e.g. http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...&postcount=118)

here is the end of the cable shown:

The Problem is, that you just don't know if port 4 and 5 are connectet to each other. I haven't seen any description where it's mentioned. And if it would be one, they would call this adapter OTG adapter.


This is what we need:

I only can find seperate female connectors but no male.It would be nice if someone finds male connectors somewhere to buy. Then we could make Adapters on our own that would 100% work.

Re: N800 USB Host Mode Experiment
 

Alright alright, my bad! :D

Now let me try again.

I HAVE FINALLY FOUND THE CORRECT ONE!

It even says OTG-compatible, so I am 110% sure! :)

Anyway, it's 1 for $9.99 and 2 for $13. If you look at the info page, it says a $4 handling charge will be levied on orders under $10. So be smart and get 2 instead of 1!

Re: N800 USB Host Mode Experiment
 

NICE!!!!! I just bought an N800 (waiting for it to come on Thurs) and i got a miniUSB male to USB female adapter coming too. :D but i want to put an external HD on it so i can put all my vids and music on a 120GB HD and carry it with my N800.

I found the WD Passport ( http://www.westerndigital.com/en/pro...sp?DriveID=262 ) I want to get it and it doesn't need external power and it runs at 5400RPM but my question is will it be fast enough to play all my music and vids off with out any slow down?

Re: N800 USB Host Mode Experiment
 

It might not need external power when connected to a desktop or laptop, but almost certainly will on the N800, which supplies a maximum of 200mA vs 500mA of a desktop/laptop.

Speed shouldn't be a problem, but power will.
