hi folks, top forum that has proved very helpful so i thought i'd join.
Is it possible to use a battery powered (ie not powered by the kaiser) usb wifi dongle with a kaiser
Probs I can see might be no usb host and no drivers.
Question is, would it be possible to do? ie could these issues be overcome?
reason i'm interested is to extend my wifi range as far as possible.

I recently purchased and modified an old RS Digitraveler and modified it for my MDA with the instructions here. Works great ... Thanks to Yorch and Cellfreak. Now I am wondering if anyone tried a better mapping software that will go with it. I would be very interested especially in creating my own maps for countries outside US for travels.
Also does anyone have a solution for SD 802.11b network card without SDIO port maybe using the usb connection etc on the craddle connector?
Cheers.

I have attempted many direct cable and USB W-Fi solutions ( with Wireless Acess points from CISCO, Lynksis and others).
The biggest challenge is finding a unit that is self powered( does not draw power from the USB port itself) and for the device to recognize it.
I managed to get the device to recognize a WAP connected to a powered USB hub...but it was tricky and it defies the purpose of wireless connectivity because it is plugged in...
I open to ideas...
There is a thread called WIFI for the XDA with more details.
okay
so i plug in my tilt into the cradle, or the mini usb cable connection that i have, and in either case, the orange light comes up and the phone does indeed charge...however, the computer does not pick it up at all, i've tried on several computers already, and i tried it with pdacorner 16 and 18, both of which worked fine up until recently when this started happening...
so my question is, is it possible for the mini usb port on my tilt to have gotten messed up to the point where it still charges, but the connection to the computer doesn't work...
if so, what can i do about it?
the main reason i want to connect to the computer is to be able to use the 3g internet on my laptop/desktop, is there another way to do this?
The answer to the first question to the best of my knowledge is yes. The second question, you can send it to HTC or another repair company to get it repaired. I assume you have already tried a hard reset though. You can still tether your computer to your modem using your device's Wi-Fi and a program like WMWifiRouter. It isn't free, but it has many useful features including the ability to use your device's data connection over Wi-Fi. And FYI, if your computer has built in bluetooth (or you have a USB bluetooth USB key like I do), I think you can also tether over bluetooth without WMWifiRouter. I hope that answers your questions

Probably a dumb question but can we connect the NC to a fixed line (Cat 5) internet connection. Sometimes no wifi but a wire connection is available.
Of course would need some type of USB to Cat 5 connector.
Does such a thing exist?
I don't know if you'll find what you're looking for, but i'm not ruling out the option.
Meantime, if you can access a cat5 line, and you're looking at buying hardware anyway, why not get a wireless access point?
(I am curious to see if you can do what you are asking, and I don't want this thread to die on the 'get an access point' cop out)
CAT5 Ethernet? Sure, wait until B&N redesign the NOOK and do expect another inch thicker, still want it?
I have a motorhome sitting beside my house and cannot get a wifi signal so I ran a cat5 cable out there to a cradelpoint wifi unit so I now have wifi through the coach.

Assuming a driver is available in the kernel for the Ethernet chipset in question, you *might* be able to use something like the Wii USB-to-Ethernet adapter combined with a USB type converter. I've no idea at all what it will do to the normal network stack, but it's _theoretically_ possible.

Actually not really, XJack.
But seriously though, ethernet on a tablet. Heh.
Defeats the purpose of a tablet. Becomes a slablet

I just happened to see this. That is great!
FWIW, I've seen some no-name Android tablets that have a dongle which provides USB ports and an RJ45 jack for a wired ethernet connection.. Does kinda defeat the purpose of a tablet though..

Not at all, it would be great to be able to use my Nook to configure Routers and program firmware, maybe even to use the Nook for some tethering. I would be able to finally get rid of my battery sucking, heat factory of a UMPC.
If anyone finds a way to get a usb Ethernet adapter working with the Nook please so share.

Didn't even think about it that way.
I know they got Ubuntu running on the NC (Not sure how well). Surely there is a wired usb nic that supports Ubuntu. I'm thinking that might be the best way.
I just bought my NC, should be here in a few days. I might just have to play with this..
What about Dalingrin's Nook Tweeks app? Using 'USB Settings > USB Host Mode' can we possibly attach a USB NIC?
I have not played with the USB Host Mode just yet, but I know I got excited when I saw it
Just wanted to link to [webcam support] USB Host support that YOU can try (now in nightlies)...some interesting discussion going on over there too....
Not too sure if I understood correctly your current setup, hopefully I won't recommend you something you have already done/thought about.
For the moment, a quick an easy way would be to plug a wireless router at the end of the network cable and then setup the wireless network. You could then connect to that wireless router with your nook.
Basically, it would look like this (inline text doesn't make a good illustration, but it's better than nothing)...
Router 1 ------(network cable)---------Router 2)))))))(wifi wave)))))))Nook
Sure you will need to setup the router correctly, but it's still very easy to do.
Dear everyone!
I read of some other forum about nexus 7 can connect to 3g usb & work well. So, can Hp Touchpad android connect to 3g usb like this? i hope this thing is happen, you know touchpad will awesome with this mighty thing.
Plz teach me how, if you guy did it.
Many Thanks
Unlike Nexus 7, touchpad micro usb doesn't provide any power. That said, you need a Y connector and a power source to get the USB Host functionality.
Therefore it is not portable and painful setup if you want to use it on the go. Another thing is the driver for the 3g dongle itself, its possibly already implemented in the driver, if not its never going to happen, since its a pain in the ass to write a new driver specifically for the 'old' touchpad.
If you need internet connection on the go, I suggest you to get one of the portable hotspot device like huawei e585 or similar kind or you could even share your android/iphone internet (wifi tether)
Just to give you an idea of how messy the setup of the OTG on touchpad is:

thanks for your informaition
Thanks for your Information, i heared that before and now i'm using my phone to tether internet connection for that. It's just a little hoping for miracle thing on touchpad. I always believe a day when touchpad rising again ^^.
Many Thanks Guys.
This would be a workaround. I had one similar to this that was rechargeable .

3g dongle works with hp touchpad now. Check Josh's PPPWidget forum. I am using a ZTE MF110 with it on CM9 and get better performance than on a win7 machine.
Hello,
I am not a developer but hope to get some support here as samsung has not been a big help so far.
Before updating Android versions my Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 SM-T713 would connect to Ethernet via the plugable USB 2.0 OTG Micro-B adapter.
It seems that the specific chipset used by the adapter is no longer enabled on this specific device, while I am told it is still included in all Android version 4 and up.
So my question is how can I enable the AX88772 CHIP SET in order to regain ethernet connectivity.
I tried going into dev mode and selecting "RNDIS Ethernet" in the USB configuration but that did not do anything.
Another issue possibly related is that when connecting the tablet to a Win 10 laptop it is not recognized. Here I tried many solutions including installing the media pack and other options available. No success. If this is an unrelated problem then I will post this secondary issue in another post.
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Is there a reason why you need Ethernet rather than wifi?

Yes, we live in a house without wifi on purpose. My wife get's immediate headaches and body pains when she is exposed to a direct signal. After having been removed from it for several years in our house I feel the same way when it is on. Our house is wired and we use both ethernet over power or ethernet over coax depending on what room we are in. The last one works beautifully.
