[maemo-users] USB Ethernet

[From: Julian Toler]

My last pocket Linux device was the fabulous Archos PMA400. This had both
client and host USB ports as standard, and the host port could be used to
connect to a network via a simple USB Ethernet adapter. This worked well
when a wifi network was not available, but a wired router was.
The USB Ethernet connection was able to use a wide range of USB Ethernet
adapters (e.g. those based on the widely used ASIX ax8817x chipset).
I am happily switching the N800 USB port into host mode and back again to
client mode, however in host mode it seems to expect to find a file system
(using the echo host > /sys/devices/platform/musb_hdrc/mode command).
Is there an alternative command or script which might poke the N800 into
looking for a network connection?
As you can probably tell, I am very much a Linux noob, so although I have
grasped some Linux concepts fairly well, others are still waiting for that
learning curve to catch up.
Cheers
Julian
