The package also compiles for diablo, but on the N810 I use no DUMMY connections, so I did not test it. I'll be happy to hear success/failure reports on N8x0.

Hello Matan,

I have been trying to setup my phone so that connection USB+Selecting Windows Networking (Mad Developer)+Selecting PC Suite will fire up USB networking where my windows PC shares internet to the N900.

All is working besides one problem, I got AutoDisconnect, which I don't want to give up, and I got the phone to automatically connect to Any Connection. The problem is : If I start microb for example, it will connect to the Dummy Network, and nothing will work, I have to manually select Internet 3G beforehand.

I am assuming auto_connect false was supposed to do it, and it is configured as false :

Code:

Nokia-N900:~# gconftool-2 -a /system/osso/connectivity/IAP/DUMMY
 ipv4_address = 0.0.0.0
 ipv4_autodns = true
 ipv4_gateway = 0.0.0.0
 ipv4_type = AUTO
 name = Dummy network
 type = DUMMY
 proxytype = NONE
 ipv4_dns1 = 0.0.0.0
 ipv4_dns2 = 0.0.0.0
 ipv4_netmask = 0.0.0.0
 autoconnect = false
Nokia-N900:~#

Any ideas? I am just missing this one BIT of preventing the phone from using Dummy Network spontaneously...
