Sounds good Rob. Understand that I added the Wishlist in a very general and community-spirit sense, not that I was trying to inflict a burden on you specifically.

lol oh don't worry I didn't think that was just for me... but if I can help out on this one, then somewhere else at some point in the community spirit perhaps somebody can come along to build the nice control gui for it ;-)

Arg, lost the Trendnet bid by a penny!!!



So if anyone has a Trendnet usb ethernet device, please test and add details to the wiki, thanks.

wiki updated to included Netgear EA101 USB Ethernet. That's 5 devices now!

At least, if it's any different than the one that I put on the list. <grin>

Should we give approximate dollar values rather than the vague costs? I don't know that my "cheap" is necessarily the same as yours.

oops, you're right SKarp-- they're probably the same device.

And I just gave vague costs because I found a range of prices and wanted to make them simple and relative... but if anyone wants to edit them to include actual discovered ranges, hey, they're welcome to it.

BTW, do I have to make any changes to /etc/dnsmasq.conf and /etc/network/interfaces? I connected ethernet cable from my IT to wireless router which is connected to the internet via DSL modem but I can't surf internet, I can't either ping or resolve any ip address via nslookup only pinging to locahost works..

I didn't have to make those any such. Is your router running DHCP?

ya i use it for the internet both wired and wirelessly in my laptop and desktop running windows.. so it should be working.

OK, is the adapter one of the ones known to work?

If it is, but it's not an RTL8150-based adapter, did you manually run usbEthUp.sh ?

For that matter, are you using a USB adapter to put the tablet in USB Host mode, or software to set the mode manually?

Also, what do you see if you run ifconfig?
