| | | | |
| - | == Option HSDPA Modem ==
| + | * Enable USB host modem. |
| - | | + | * get a power-enabled hub. |
| - | # Compile the "HSO" Option Modem kernel module (Greg Kroah-Hartman is in the process of integrating the kernel module into the mainline kernel, but check [http://www.pharscape.org/component/option,com_forum/Itemid,68/page,viewtopic/t,445/ HSO] in the meantime or use this [http://www.scratchpost.org/software/Nokia/N8x0/Modem/ working directory] which includes compiled modules).
| + | * compile the "HSO" kernel module for the Nokia N800. |
| - | # Compile the [http://www.pharscape.org/component/option,com_forum/Itemid,68/page,viewtopic/t,425/ Rezero] Option mode switch application.

| + | * compile a Option mode switch application. |
| - | # Load the "HSO" kernel module.<pre>insmod hso.ko</pre>
| + | * load the SCSI generic kernel module: "insmod sg.ko". |
| - | # Edit the <code>connect.sh</code> script (from HSO) to actually ''do'' the changes in the routing table.
| + | * run the Option mode switch application: . |
| - | # Run the <code>connect.sh</code> script.<pre>./connect.sh up</pre>
