Yeah, that's what I thought too, I send him a message earlier today.

This is SUCH a useful tool even for non-techie users, I hope he does find the time to do this. It was so simple to install from maemo.org, and so simple to switch to host mode.

Basically, it sets the tablet into host mode but it then unloads the g_file_storage module which it seems quite a few devices depend on. Trying to use this to set it into host mode and reversing the changes while keeping it in host mode sounds more complicated then trying to install the package above.

I'm wondering how the tablet sees keyboards, because when I did use USB Control on Chinook I would get error messages when I plugged the keyboard in that talked about memory storage. The keyboards worked fine though so I didn't think too much about it.

Do modern keyboards have some kind of USB flash memory built into them that is causing the tablets to think they're storage devices?

Re: Diablo less tolerant of OTG + USB thumbdrives?

Hi - Perhaps a related issue. I have a N800 running Diablo. I reinstalled from the backup with very few issues. I decided that I would try wired networking to use in Hotel rooms etc. I followed the Wiki - "HOWTO: Wired Networking using USB host mode and OS 2008" by installing the USBlan app and scripting direct from the links in the article. Then using the USB OTG adapter and Linksys USB100M Network adapter I followed the instructions for connection.Tablet showed the "unsupported" and "no file system" dialogues as stated. I then tried to access the internet from my router (wireless disabled to avoid conflicts). No Go - The WIRED connection was not listed in the Select Connection dialogue. I went to the Control Panel and looked at the connections there and WIRED is listed so the tablet is seeing the connection but doesn't present it for selection!!!! I don't know whether it would work in Chinook as I didn't have the adapters then.

Re: Diablo less tolerant of OTG + USB thumbdrives?

Hello,

I have exactly the same issue than in the above post :( with the new Diablo version. Does somebody has an idea to have the WIRED connection listed in the connection list of available connection. I have had the same setup with Chinook and I could see the WIRED entry in the connection list.

Thanks.

O.D.

Re: Diablo less tolerant of OTG + USB thumbdrives?

Wired networking relies on dummy connections; the icd was rewritten for Diablo, and they left that out (apparently accidentally), so BT-PAN and USB-networking aren't doing so well. They've indicated a fix is in progress.

Re: Diablo less tolerant of OTG + USB thumbdrives?

I installed this and when I select `Host` the status changes to @USB CONTROLLER MODE: a_wait_vrise`. Is this correct? I had USBControl installed before and if I remember correctly it used to show `USB CONTROLLER MODE: Host`

Try this package, I've edited the control file to have python-runtime instead of python2.5-runtime as it's dependency (python2.5-runtime does not exist in diablo extras).

You may have to install python-runtime manually using application manager in red pill mode. After that, this will install.

Actually I installed USBControl because I read that it is a requirement for maemo-control-usb. Details of what I'm trying to do and my problems are in this similar post:
