Maybe in USB host mode but still I don see it happening... There is no available slot for any external card that can be recognise devices...
In any case you can buy your self a small bridge... I own a asus that I take with me when I travel.

Greetings,
Just discovered this site....
Don't have Nokia N800 yet....but thinking about it....
One question I have is whether it's possible to connect to internet using wired internet connection instead of WiFi?
If so, what would I use to make connection? For example, I use Socket 10/100 ethernet CF card now in my Zaurus for this...but there's no CF card slot in N800....
I know that the great thing about N800's is WiFi but at work, I can't use WiFi, just ethernet connection...so that's really important to me to have that option if I want....
Thanks for any and all input!
Mark
You could spend money to buy one of those portable ethernet-to-wifi routers, or get a cheap dataplan for your bluetooth-enabled phone, but that's about it.
So there...

It should be possible to something with gadget Ethernet.
/mnt/initfs/lib/modules/2.6.18-omap1/g_ether.ko
I haven't had time to play with this. You need to rmmod g_file_storage before doing the insmod of g_ether. ifconfig usb0 10.0.0.150 as an example.
On a host plugging in a USB cable will show an Ethernet device. setting usb0 to 10.0.0.151 on the host gives you a private network. I'm sure there are ways to setup routing to put the n800 on the internet through the host but I haven'tresearched it.
Here's g_ether loaded:
[92396.230865] ether gadget: using random self ethernet address
[92396.230987] ether gadget: using random host ethernet address
[92396.231536] usb0: Ethernet Gadget, version: May Day 2005
[92396.231567] usb0: using musb_hdrc, OUT ep1out IN ep1in STATUS ep2in
[92396.231597] usb0: MAC 4a:71:3c:38:59:20
[92396.231658] usb0: HOST MAC a6:d3:19:0e:14:65
[92396.231689] usb0: RNDIS ready
The RNDIS means it should work with M$ idea of TCP/IP BUT you have to go out on the web and find the windoze driver - or just say no to Bill and switch completely to Linux I've no Apple experience, but it should work just fine.
