- | + | ||
- | + | ||
- | + | ||
- | + | ||
- | + | * Enable USB host mode. | |
+ | * get a powered USB hub. | ||
+ | * connect your Nokia N8x0 to the USB hub's uplink. | ||
+ | * connect your USB Modem to one of the USB hub's normal ports. | ||
+ | * switch your Nokia N8x0 to USB host mode ("echo host > /sys/devices/platform/musb_hdrc/mode"). | ||
+ | * compile a SCSI generic Linux kernel module (or download a binary module from [http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=633&d=1197230972 CDROM Kernel Modules] ). | ||
+ | * load the SCSI generic Linux kernel module: "insmod sg.ko". | ||
- | + | == "Option" HSDPA Modem == | |
- | + | * 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 my working directory (includes compiled modules) [http://www.scratchpost.org/Nokia_N8x0/Modem/ Nokia N8x0 Modem]) for the Nokia N8x0. | |
- | + | * compile the [http://www.pharscape.org/component/option,com_forum/Itemid,68/page,viewtopic/t,425/ Rezero] Option mode switch application. | |
- | + | * run the Option mode switch application: "./rezero /dev/sg0". | |
- | + | * load the "HSO" kernel module: "insmod hso.ko". | |
- | + | * edit the "connect.sh" script (from HSO) to actually '''do''' the changes in the routing table. | |
- | + | * run the "connect.sh" script: "./connect.sh up". | |
- | + | * enjoy. | |
- | == | + | == Unused == |
+ | * Alternative (generic?) mode switch program http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/ | ||
- | * | + | = TODO = |
- | + | * make a ready-to-use Debian package. | |
- | + | * use the udev script to automate the loading when the device is plugged (both for "rezero" and for "HSO"). | |
