Re: USB Networking

I need USB networking on my N810.

I tried the usb-otg-plugin and it crashes for me. When I try to switch to USB Ethernet mode, it makes the UI unresponsive, although it clicks when I touch the screen.

Besides, I'm not sure what's the difference between "USB Networking" and "USB Ethernet". I'd say it refers to the same thing.

So, the any way so far is to do it manually. You need to be root first, then launch the following script, with USB unplugged:

Code:

#!/bin/sh                                                                                 

                                                                                          

if grep -q g_file_storage /proc/modules; then                                             

    if ! rmmod g_file_storage; then                                                       

        echo "Cannot remove the storage gadget driver!"                                   

        exit 1                                                                            

    fi                                                                                    

fi                                                                                        

                                                                                          

insmod /mnt/initfs/lib/modules/`uname -r`/g_ether.ko                                      

ifconfig usb0 192.168.0.202 up

route add default gw 192.168.0.200

This will set up your gadget as 192.168.0.202 and will expect your PC to be 192.168.0.200, now you can plug it via USB and Linux will see it immediately; you only have to set up the address 192.168.0.200 on the usb0 interface. Unfortunately on N810 Maemo will unmount storage cards when you plug USB in; you will have to mount them back manually. Anybody knows if it's possible to prevent this somehow?

Re: USB Networking

Hi,
I try to using usb networking on my n810,
so i install several packages
maemo-control maemo-control-usb ...
at first try i get it work by enabling usb-networking in control panel
.. next times i was unable to get it work again:
on the pc (ubuntu) i see that cdc_ether is connected .. so interface can get up and one second after it"s deconnected.
On the tablet it say: cable connected .. one second or two .. cable deconected :/
I think this is more the tablet who did the disconection ...

I Also try the status bar usb applet but it freeze my n810.

Does someone use usb-networking and could help me?
.. wiki on maemo.org seems to be a little deprecated.

Thanks
Kytrix
