Seems to work well for Web Browsing and Pidgin but could not get Modest to connect.

Don't know about this one guys I just got Diablo up on my tablet yesterday and haven't been able to reproduce the desired effect by killing icd2; it seems if icd2 isn't running then none of the apps seem to know what to do and just refuse to go anywhere. From the command line I can ping, ssh, etc, but the browser/pidgin/etc simply refuse to do anything. If somebody can confirm a workaround I'll roll it into the USB Lan package, but I can't get a consistent one working here yet...

Hey darren and Rob,

It appears that it only work if the wireless was on first them switch to usb ethernet by killing icd2. After a reboot (i.e. straight to usb) it won't connect this way.

How annoying.

Okay all, Nokia was kind enough to half-fix the problem (they provided a module to support dummy connections, but it doesn't work quite as well as it should); they're saying that there will be a full/proper fix but that will come later when the developers have more time (i.e. Sept?).

Anyways, in the mean time I've taken what they put forth and done some hacking up to get it bundled into the latest version of the usbLAN package that you can grab from my support files here:
http://www.electronicproductonline.c....3.0_armel.deb

I've confirmed that it works on Diablo without issue; the only big difference between using the package on Diablo VS Chinook is that instead of getting a connection named "WIRED" showing up int he connections panel, it's called "Dummy" (that was one of the issues with the Nokia provided solution thus far... the DUMMY connection is hardwired to be called Dummy).

Outside of that though it works exactly the same way: install package along with Dbus-Scripts, connect network adapter to ethernet cable, plug network adapter into USB port using OTG (if desired), select "Dummy" from the available connections in the connection manager, and away you go.
When you're done, disconnect the USB cable and the Dummy connection will automatically disappear.

Details for anyone who's unsure about the process are in the Wiki Entry:

I'm also going to add another post to the main General forum describing this since this one's pretty tucked away and I think a lot of users are going to miss it here.

Thanks,

Any experiences with Linksys USB200M?

Okay, Wiki and USB LAN package has been updated:
http://www.internettablettalk.com/wi...de_and_OS_2008

I've been trying to get it up into the maemo extras repository, but it's a lot more difficult than originally anticipated, so in the mean time I've just gone back to the way things used to be. The Wiki instructions have been updated for the new package that works with both Chinook and Diablo without problems (it also eliminated the need to manually select the WIRED connection). bigr3dd0g, uninstall the package that you've got, and follow the wiki directions step by step; should solve all problems and just work.

jaeezzy, not sure never seen that one before, but if it's supported by Linux and doesn't draw too much power then it should work. See Wiki entry noted above for instructions and details.

ronzo, the USB200M requires more power than the tablet's USB interface will natively put out. It should work, but you'll need an externally powered USB hub; this is why most of us have stuck with the USB100M which does not have this problem.

Also don't forget guys, new USB OTG adapters are available that make connecting your LAN adapters a lot nicer and more compact:

I cannot find a store that sells the USB100M in .de - even eBay does not list it...

Are there any reasonably priced alternatives that can be found in a European store? Or somebody know a US-Store that dispatches to the EU?

Thanks a lot in advance!

cheers,
ronzo

I got one of these off ebay

works a treat with the USB LAN package and very cheap too.
