[maemo-developers] Switching N810 to USB host mode?

[From: Andrew Daviel]

I posted a longer version of this from the wrong address and it bounced.
In view of Charles Werbick's message & patch I've removed most of it.

(for my N810 with 2008SE_2.2007.51-3, unpatched)
It seems I have to unplug/replug the USB cable in host mode to get the
memory stick (via F/F adapter) to be recognized. Then I get
a popup "usb device not supported"
  (dmesg usb 1-1: device v058f p9382 is not supported)
but the stick shows up in lsusb and the file manager autostarts.

In usbcontrol GUI, I don't see my device listed unless I click "host" 
twice.


I tried "flasher-3.0 --enable-usb-host-mode"
but it did not work. Or I did something wrong. I tried the command,
then "flasher-3.0 -b" (reboot). Also tried disconnecting the USB
cable from the PC, connecting the memory stick, and clicking the
power button. The tablet booted up in perpheral mode both times.
