fanoush: great article! thanks for the link. I have a Windows XP sp2 desktop that I'd like to share the network connection from TO my Nokia N800 (since I don't have a wireless AP in my office, but would like my Nokia N800 to get Ethernet-via-USB).

I installed Nokia770 USB Ethernet RNDIS.inf so that my WinXP RNDIS recognizes the N800, but now I'm looking for maemo-statusbar-usbnet so that I can toggle between Mass Storage and Ethernet from the statusbar on the N800. Since I don't have wireless here, I'm downloading packages manually the Maemo Bora Free Repositoryfrom: http://repository.maemo.org/pool/bora/free/binary/
...but I get "(i) Unable to install. Incompatible application package." each time I attempt to "Install from File" under Application Manager.

How do I install maemo-statusbar-usbnet for use on an updated Nokia N800?
