wget http://mohammadag.xceleo.org/hostmode/Sep\ 25\ 2010/kernel-hostmode-flasher_2.6.28-20102201+0m5-hostmode1_armel.deb

wget http://mohammadag.xceleo.org/hostmode/Sep\ 25\ 2010/kernel-hostmode-modules_2.6.28-20102201+0m5-hostmode1_armel.deb

wget http://mohammadag.xceleo.org/hostmode/Sep\ 25\ 2010/kernel-hostmode_2.6.28-20102201+0m5-hostmode1_armel.deb

and me too couldn't get the hostmode.py script because of the error mentioned in the post above .

About hostmode.py, I'm not sure why but the host doesn't allow hosting py files.
Use the deb http://mohammadag.xceleo.org/hostmod...ts_0.1_all.deb

I've been having some fun.

I managed to connect a Belkin 4-port hub to my n900.

I've tried connecting a joystick and a mouse. Although they appear on the hub I can't use them.

Also tried connecting an external hard-drive but I don't think it was recognised at all.
The battery was quite low and may have caused problems?

One day will it be possible to charge the device at the same time as using a USB peripheral?

I've attached my log - I hope it's useful.

I know this thread is about testing ... but I can't easily get hardware (USB adapters/converters) to test with (Amazon and Ebay won't ship to where I am presently ...), but it is great to see progress on this.

However, my desire for USB host features is mainly for non-USB-storage stuff ... specifically getting photos off PTP-only cameras, such as my Canon EOS 500D DSLR.

This should be possible with the hostmode kernel, if the user-space tools (libusb, libgphoto, gphoto2 etc.) are available.

I will try and get a converter in the next 3 weeks or so, and maybe try and look at this myself then, but if others are interested and can make progress in the next 3 weeks, that would be great.

(I don't see any libusb or gphoto packages in the standard + extras-devel repos, let me know if it is already available somewhere)

Location above contains the same kernel updated with more modules.
Should support NTFS RW, UDF, and ISOFS, so you should be able to use NTFS formatted devices as well as externally powered DVD drives.

I also compiled and uploaded genisoimage, which contains mkisofs.
http://maemo.org/packages/view/genisoimage/
No instructions for the time being, but you should, theoretically (not tested actually) be able to write to DVDs with cdrecrod (when I compile that).

Logs are always welcome, whether it worked or not.

hi mohammad

I installed new kernels but when i want to mount my NTFS usb flash i have this error:

"No such file or Directory"

for fat32 its okey.
