Hello,

I am able to use a SMC 2208USB usb to ethernet adapter with the pegasus.ko module that is in this thread. Someone earlier in the thread wanted to know how to make this easier to use. I was able to take the instructions in this wiki entry (http://www.internettablettalk.com/wi..._using_OS_2008) using the status bar switch method and modify them a little bit. I copied the pegasus.ko file to the /home/user/MyDocs folder. I then added the line insmod /home/user/MyDocs to the end of the Host.sh file. I then copied the Host.sh file and named it Ethup. I removed everything after the fi line and replaced it with this line: udhcpc. I followed the wiki instructions to add an entry to the Status bar and named it Wired Up. This allows me to easily start my ethernet. First, I set the default access point to DEFAULT as specified earlier. Next, I tap on Host mode. I plug in my adapter and then tap on Wired up. This connects me using DHCP. I hope this description helps someone!

The one thing I have not been able to figure out is how to manually set an IP address that works. I have opened up Xterm, run sudo gainroot and then run ifconfig eth0 down followed by ifconfig eth0 192.168.2.50 netmask 255.255.255.0 up. If I then run ifconfig eth0 it has changed to the manually specified IP. However, if I then attempt to ping my router (192.168.2.1) it always times out. I have even tried adding a route using route add default gw 192.168.2.1 but this doesn't seem to make a difference. One of the main "justifications" for my purchase of the N800 is to configure routers. I am most of the way there now, with the ability to automatically obtain an IP. All I need now is to be able to manually set an IP address. If anyone has any suggestions on how to manully set IP address with this setup, it would most appreciated.

Thanks for all the help that has already been provided!
