Revision as of 19:50, 21 August 2010
(axique) I tried to add a dummy devices on my N800 gconftool -s -t string /system/osso/connectivity/IAP/DEFAULT/type DUMMY but it does not show up in the connection list. I don't know how this syntax must be changed to archive this. (PS: feel free to remove this comment)
Dummy connections are broken in Diablo due to the new icd2 daemon -qwerty12
unmounting mmc cards when using usb networking
Is there some reason why there is umount /media/mmc1 umount /media/mmc2 in usb networking setup script? IMO it is perfectly possible to have mounted cards while using usb networking mode. --fanoush 19:56, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
Idem here I see no reason to unount the file systems --keesj 21:53, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
internet browsing via usb
Hi, I've set up everything and I have a successful USB connection (I even have a ssh access to my N900).
DNS seems ok too since I've made a routing (I've used IP-MASQUERADE-HOWTO).
I can ping www.google.com for instance and I even managed to get the home page using wget www.google.com.
But the terminal doesn't use the USB connection when launching the browser from main MAEMO GUI.
Is it possible to choose the USB connection during the "internet connection selection" process instead of only Wifi or 3G ?
Current state of this "feature"
I have the patch for bug 3243 installed (via the recently-released Community SSU feature) on an N800 running OS2008. I have the USB Networking control panel installed; after running:
- lsmod lists g_ether (alongside g_file_storage)
- ifconfig lists the usb0 interface
The control panel window displays nothing but the "Setup" button; Refresh does nothing. Not clear how to uninstall this; I guess ifdown, then
I also have the Advance Power Meter applet, which provides a switch between Host and OTG USB mode. With OTG selected, the N800 behaves as always when connected to the computer: the external cards are presented as storage devices.
With Host selected, on first connection, I was asked for a .INF file. I tried installing the "newer" .INF for the N900. Windows installed it with no complaint; however, the device did not show up in Windows' Hardware Manager -- until I selected "Show hidden devices". It doesn't appear in the Network Connections control panel. And when I try to uninstall it (from Device Manager), I get: "Failed to uninstall device. The device may be required to boot up the computer."
