It might be possible to use the "cdc-acm" module:

However, there's probably a good bit of work to get it functioning properly beyond compiling and loading the module, and of course compiling and loading the module might not work at all on the tablet.

It will also likely need to get it's power from something other than the tablet..

Why not just carry one of the small ethernet/wifi or ethernet/bluetooth routers? One example is the Apple airport Express - but even that's on the large side of the available devices.

But if you are in an area without available broadband or wireless ( cell or wifi ), that modem to bluetooth device looks like the best bet.

Cradlepoint PHS300 battery powered EVDO->wifi router should get you connected if you have an Sprint/Verizon EVDO plan and USB EVDO modem. You plug the modem into the PHS300 - there is no physical connection to the n800 so no drivers or port power issues. The n800 would just connect to the PHS300 wirelessly as a wifi access point.

Not available until Dec12 tho - right now you would have to use a Cradlepoint CTR 350 with an external battery.

Thanks for all the info..

Few days back , for my desktop i bought a USB Modem from a cellular provider with a internet connection plan which costs me $12 a month..

It is very small beautiful device which you easily carry anywhere..If this can be connected to N800 also it would be great..

Not sure about the power supply for the USB port which you guys talk about..I am not able to understand some of these technical stuff..Just waiting for some miraculous solution which will make my N800 an all time companion to me..

It wont be easy to configure the n800 to use this usb modem as it doesnt support usb host and does not supply power to its usb port.since you already have a data plan, the easiest way is still to get a 3g phone and connect through bluetooth. the earlier generation used 3g phones can be had for very cheap.

OS2008 adds support for USB host on the N800, and as far as I can tell, the port can supply up to 5V/200mA.

It probably won't supply enough power, though, and would certainly be more difficult than pairing with a bluetooth phone.

I've connected a mouse, midi adapter, audio adapter, ethernet adapter, and cdrom drive personally.

Everything was detected and powered, except for the cdrom drive which needed external power.

I still need to compile some drivers for some things though :)

Others have managed to get a few things working as well, just search around the forums for the last 2 weeks or so.

Powered USB host support on an N800? Sweet.

edit: Where did you get the drivers for all those peripherals?

Hi ALL

Host Mode for N800 USB port?..It will be a wonderful option..Please post as much info as possible..Think it will be helpful to all..Finally we can disconnect our phone and use N800 as a pure internet tablet..carrying a USB modem is not an issue at all..

The module for my ethernet adapter comes with OS2008 (rt8150), CDROM modules were compiled by someone here on the forums, and for MIDI and Audio adapters I'll need to compile modules, which I don't expect to be too difficult (I always make sure the hardware I buy has Linux support, in some form)
