Hello friends
I'm trying to connect a galaxy note to a lan
I bought a cable micro usb (female) type OTG (I've already proven to work well), a usb lan adapter, RJ45 cable and a router connected to the Internet.
I tried connecting the note, and I get a message:
usb device connected unknown.
trying to enter the browser, I get ortho message:
no network connection, and I get a button to go to Settings, clicking leads me to wireless connections, and do not go out of the loop.
I would appreciate, if you know (You will tell me) if you can do, or else it is impossible, or if the adapter the problem comes from usb lan, which is not correct, since it is not known for android ...
Some will wonder about why want to connect via lan, because there are 2 very simple explanations, in my job working with lan, not wifi, then it is said that both the wifi, as bluetooht, etc.. are harmful to health. I do not know if mine will be superstitions, but I when I connect to wifi in my hand I feel the electromagnetic energy, and the feeling I am not nice ...
Thank you for your attention

I believe this method wold not work. The Note would not have the driver to work with "a usb lan adapter". Only usb mice, flash disks, card readers, externally powered hard drives and a few keyboards are know to work via USB OTG with the Note. Oh and some Canon DSLRs, via DSLRController.
And if you placed any driver for Lan, as it has some connection rj45 tablet, just might work, do not you think?
There is no technological reason why this wouldn't work, you just need a kernel with USB gadget support enabled. I do not know if any of the custom kernels have that, though. You could also copy the kernel modules from a compatible one and insmod those, but first you need to find out which modules you need.

There is no such a thing as "any driver for Lan." Lan is not a device, it's network topology, not some generic technology that magically works on anything with RJ45. You need kernel modules for the specific device you have.
Hi I found that in Gingerbread, there is the possibility
excuse me but I can not put links
in the TI-Android-GingerBread-2.3.4-DevKit-2.1_DeveloperGuide
the point 1.6.5.4, talks about it
Waited for this feature for two years, and still nothing, could somebody confirm if it needs a kernel implementation or both kernel + ROM implementation?

hi, just kernel implementation nad console to start network device. (while ago i used speedmod kernel source to build my own kernel with my lan card support).

:fingers-crossed: Thank you so much for responding! It is really awesome! Could you share your kernel? Does it require ICS or JB?, even with terminal it will turn our note into a powerful tool for networking related diagnostics. For sure it can also be done with an inbuilt battery access point, but getting physical connection to RJ45 switches ports is a real advantage. Can you please point me to the RJ45 to microusb adapter you tested it ti work?, than you again my friend this new got me really excited to try this feature. :highfive:

They have GPS receivers that work through the bottom cradle connection for IPAQs they also have other devieces like keyboards that work like this.
Would it be possible to develop a 80211 dongle that could click into the
cradle port? is anyone working on this? is there anyone that would have
enough knowledge to beging working on this i could contact. I would love to get 802.11 for this baby.

No, sorry. The XDA connector on the bottom supports USB and serial. However, the USB will only do 'Slave Mode', i.e. act as a USB device towards a computer. There are USB 802.11 devices, but they work as devices as well, and thus need a 'Master' to talk to. And there's no serial 802.11b transceivers out that we know of.
You could conceiveably build a USB device that plays the master role and feeds the IP through just like ActiveSync does, but nobody has done that yet. For the manufacturers this shouldn't be that hard, given the amount of spare processing power on these 802.11 tranceivers. (And while we're at it, we might as well incorporate a GPS connected to the serial port...)
hmm
so this won't be something that a little hacking group such as XDA developers would be capable of?
Hi
In a short time a wireless lan card will be available which you can plug into you SD Slot. See http://www.sychip.com/wlan-module.html
See ya
Mick
Helllo.
I don´t think, that the wireless lan card will work in the XDA. In the technical PDF there is a picture that shows a SDIO-Interface.
XDA still do NOT have a SDIO-Interface.
Regards
Stefan
hold on, why do u need a wireless lan card? I thought the xda was a wireless device, surely it ought to have wireless connectivity built into it? If you had a corporate wireless network, cant it just be configured to connect?
Of course it has wireless support, using GSM and/or GPRS and infrared. But WLAN support is something entirely different, and that is definitely not included.
Shouldn't be too hard to design a WLAN adapter acting as an USB master though. With the pass-through functionality built into the activesync software it has definitely been shown that the USB connection can be used for network access.

Yo bamse,
Ever want to be very, very popular ? You would make hero of the month on our charts, that's for sure...
What about these guys:
http://www.datahunter.com
I know it's RS232 and not USB, but apart from that the Liberator should do the trick almost straight away, and they also advertise a module that could be built into a sleaker package:
OEM 802.11 WLAN Mini-Modules
OEM and ODM manufacturers can incorporate FCC ?Modular? pre-certified 802.11b mini-modules into their products. The Data Hunter 802.11 mini-modules have the Operating System Wireless LAN software drivers built-in. Interface options are the ones Engineers need, including high-speed async logic-level or RS232, SPI processor interface, USB and full Ethernet TCP/IP. No additional FCC certification required for the modular 802.11 data radios. Start shipping integrated WLAN immediately. Includes single antenna for bulkhead mount or dual diversity antennas

I could be wrong, but from their site I get the strong impression none of it is done, and they'll start work on it the minute someone orders a few thousand.
Also: they base everything on the Compact Flash 802.11 cards with some extra hardware, which is unlikely to pretend it's a PC running ActiveSync straight out of the box, so some extra work is in order.
What we need is a CF 802.11 card that comes with an SDK for adding your own code. No need for extra parts and power consumption: the card should have enough spare cycles to pretend it's ActiveSync on Windows plus the USB. (Or serial at 115.200 if that's somehow easier). Then all we need after the two manmonths of coding is a nice plastic stick-one case and we're done...
Ok, how about this then:
http://www.tuanistechnology.com/products/avaya/converter/
Or this:
http://www.autodnc.de/ctwlani.htm
You'll find a whole bunch of them out there, all serial and 115200bps, but none of the companies seem to have identified the PDA-owners a market for their produkts.
I'd say most of these products use way to much power for PDA use.
Really, let's not build stuff that's already on the PC or CF card to begin with.
Anyone found a way to access 802.11b yet? I see that Linksys has the WCF12 (The Wireless CompactFlash Card installs directly into your Pocket PC using a CompactFlash Type I or Type II slot). I think that fits the IPaq. I need one for the SX56.
I saw some creative ideas above. Anybody try matching the pin-outs yet??
:roll: Sigh. Read my lips. It won't work. It's not a matter of "pin-outs." It's far, far deeper than that on both hardware and software.
And really, would you want to access an ethernet network at 115k??? What for?

While I doubt that anyone will, it ought to be a small task to design a Bluetooth interface that will work with SDIO or SD either as a polled device or memory mapped I/O. For Bluetooth this should produce acceptable results --- for 802.11b clearly it would not.

It certainly seems doable. What is the limitation on the SX56 that does not exist on iPaq? And since I struggled through years and years of 36K dialup before DSL, for the limited data access needed for a PDA, 115K seems like heaven. Noone is going to treat it like a workstation. But access to remote data has a wide range of applications.
The iPaq has an expansion port, the XDA does not.
Carlos:
If you have a quick look at one of the links I have provided above you should find that there are a couple of solutions available for anyone who would like to connect a 802.11 device to a serial port. They may be a little bulky and power hungry, but that can surely be taken care of.
There will be 256MB SDIO card with built-in 801.11, right? What about a 256MB SDRW card with built-in SDIO and USB-host? With the USB/serial/power/peripheral connector of the Qtek sitting next to the SD-slot you could easily build a device that connects to both "ports". Wouldn't it be nice?
wi-fi stuffs for Qtek
Hi Bamse,
Could you tell me what exactly that I would need to purchased
to have my Qtek works with wi-fi? Thank you.
None of it exists today. Everything posted so far is theoretical. It will never exist. There's no market for it.
Hi all, I did a search under this forum and do not actually found any info.
Actually, many older Android phone/device do come with USB Host (OTG) function, hardware or software, with hacks or officials,
Mod/Hacks:
MOTO droid, N1, ZTE Blade, etc
Officials support:
Samsung GS2, MOTO Xoom, MOTO Atrix4G, EEETransformer, Many CN crappy Android Tablet.
I tried using a OTG Cable with a USB thumbdrive on LGP9xx but no luck, browsing thru the system I found that there are USBDisk DIRs on / or /mnt/USBDisk, there are no define on vold.fstab at all on LG, not like the MOTO Xoom..
dev_mount usbdisk /mnt/usbdisk auto /devices/platform/tegra-ehci
So my wild guess is it was not turned on kernel level?
As far as I can tell, there is USBHost OTG support on Tegra2, seen post related to that on that, I understand that hardware might not be wired (that's what we gonna check), anyone any info/hints/directions/ideas about this on the LGP9xx?
It would just be great if we can use OTG on LG99x...
thanks.

It needs to be turned on via menuconfig. I could do a quick compile later, if you want. The downside is, that a enabled USBHost disables the slave mode. So no mass storage (Or you implement something like holding back while booting up etc to enable usb host)

Wow, that's a quick and straight to the point reply!!!!!
I think I can live without a slave mode, most of my files are copied to the phone by samba, dropbox or ftp....
just wonder what trick did SGS2 or others uses, I know many of the devices which support OTG has 2 diff USB port, 1 for host and 1 for slave, but I "think" got that working too in 1 port, wonder is it the same as our case here that needs special reboot or so? (SGS2 is not available here yet...so I have never tried it instead of watching in on the youtube VID online...)
Anyway, THANKS! waiting for your releases. thumbs up to all DEVs!!!!!!!!

Don't know. One part maybe only with other hardware drivers. The reboot solution would be best for us (but needs some work). So the easy enable via menuconfig would be enough. Anyway I started to working on this, but I don't know if my otg cable isn't working (slave function was disabled but host didn't worked). So I wanted to test it anyway. What do you need? only mass storage?
The compile could take a while (working on fixing cust toolchain build)
I am aiming on USB thumb drive, keyboard and mouse..thx..
Honeycomb 3.1 has USB Host support.
Hopefully someone can pull it out and use it somehow.
Since there's no source it might not be easy.
Or you can just wait for Ice cream Sandwich(Q4 2011), i'm guessing there will be Host support.
Any news on development?
i think the usb port of phone has no more power to use the flashdrive.
So is this a dead project? Or is there any hope left?
Not being picky or challenging to admin, I originally post this thread under development, which is should be more related since I am not asking generally how to "use" USB Host but related to kernel/drivers development....
I think this thread in general would not actually get much development attention at all...
Anyway, nope, no news, I understand hacks/dev is not a piece of cake, thanks for everyone who is working on the topic here!!!!!!!
and since CM distro do not support USB host at all, then I would suggest there may not be enough attention or momentum at all on this...

I may not agree, I did use a O2Graphite with a USB host cable with a USB jostick, and keyboard+mouse on many CN made crappy Tablets, they just works...
Many USB devices do not drain that much power, especially some Flashdrives...

Nothing works with it, no-one has produced a kernel with OTG support for the P990.
No idea what that post is about.
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.

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.
Hi,
i would really need a USB Ethernet adapter for my Galaxy Note. I searched forums and all i found was for tablets. I also noticed several times that people were talking that you can build the driver for specific device from official driver. If i understand right i could buy some USB Ethernet adapter and then build it's driver for galaxy note? Or not? Or is there maybe some "universal" driver already made?
I would be really thankful if someone explained this a little more.
Tnx

The drivers are included in the linux kernel of android, so the driver support is directly linked to the version of the kernel used on your device.
A small search gave me a result: look for USB to RJ45 Ethernet Adapter on amazon (you'll need a USB - micro usb adaptater tho.

I have OTG adapter so this is not problem. I'll try and buy some adapter and we will see if this will work. I have hydra-core kernel on stock rom.

Hi,
here is my unhelpful comment:
I have one of the little buggers (see attached image) boght on eBay:
Search for "USB to LAN RJ45 Network"
It works under Linux and identifies itself as:
"Davicom DM9601 USB Ethernet" and uses the Linux-Kernel-Module dm9601 (as it seems).
(NOTE: One strange thing: The newly bought device uses a MAC address, that was registered to an colleague on our network here. So it spoofs the address?!?!)
Combined with the Host-USB-Adater (OTG) it can be connected to the N7000 - BUT:
A) The LED lights up and blinks to show the trafic on the line
B) Nothing happens on the screen
C) In Elixir it shows up as
Name: /dev/bus/usb/002/002
ID: 2002
Product-ID: 38656
Vendor-ID: 4070
I Get no Menu to configure the wired connection.
So I guess there is no Driver.
I Used Hydracore v7 and Thor Kernel 0.26. (which is WAAAY slower then hydracore)
are there other things I could try?
This looks an interesting idea, wonder is its possible to to have PoE as well, disconnecting network access just to charge would be pretty annoying otherwise.
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

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.
