Hi,
Is the integrated wireless card at Asus Eee Pad Transformer capable of packet injection?
I am planning to buy this device with the docking station and I know the docking station has USB ports. Can I plug a USB wireless card(ALFA) to it and use it?
Thank you
I think your question is whether you can find modules to get your ALFA to work on the transformer. Your ALFA already supports packet injection.
If the internal wireless NIC in the transformer supports injection then you'd only need the ALFA for the added tx power and if you get the ALFA working, then it doesn't matter if the internal NIC supports injection.
yep, yep, yep
I am planning to install Backtrack 5 on a micro sd card which Asus Eee Pad Transformer has a slot for. I will boot on the Micro SD card to use packet injection. For daily use, I will boot on the integrated Android honeycomb.
1- Does someone know if the integrated wifi card supports monitor mode?
2- If I boot Backtrack on micro-sd with the docking station of the tablet, can I plug an external wifi card? Are the USB ports on the docking station meant for these purposes?
Thanks
I'm just wondering if you might be better served with picking up a netbook and doing a full install of BT5 if you need this for anything besides novelty.
If you listen to the podcast on the release of BT5, Muts states that the ARM version of BT5 is not really that useful and won't currently have a lot of support thrown behind it.
I would like to hear from Asus eee pad transformer owners if I may use an additional external wifi card attached to the docking station?
The card I will be using is Alfa which is already capable for monitor mode.
Thanks

Does anyone know if the new host mode interface in 3.1 supports a USB Ethernet adapter? I'd like to be able to use one of these when I'm traveling and at a hotel that only has wired connections.

I wouldn't think so you would probably need some proprietary drivers to make the adapter work
Why not go with a small travel router? It's one more thing to carry but would satisfy the lan line only issue.
This one got some good reviews, not too pricey:

What about other uses? I'd love to have a usb serial adapter and a usb ethernet adapter so I can use the xoom for adminning devices and such.
linux drivers
Android uses a normal linux kernel, so anything supported by linux will be supported. I have used an external wifi, ethernet and usb-serial with an Android phone.
We currently have a netbook that is several years old and is WELL used so I'm looking at replacing it soon. I know the Transformer would be great for most of the things we use the netbook for, email, internet, facebook, etc. But I do have some questions about capabilities because I'm not 100% sure the Transformer can replace everything we are currently doing with a netbook.
Can you copy from one external USB drive to another through the Transformer? While on trips we use a netbook to dump video we take on an HDD camcorder. When you plug the HDD camcorder into a computer via USB, the computer sees it as a USB drive formatted FAT32. I also have a 2.5" external HDD. Could I connect both the camcorder and the external HDD to the Transformer and transfer the files? (I understand that if this is possible at all, it would have to be done with the keyboard/dock.)
same question as above, but with a USB card reader instead of a camcorder. Need to be able to dump photos from our camera's CF card.
If the tablet is out of power and you plug it into the keyboard/dock, does it actually charge the tablet, or does it just power the tablet? (Assuming it only powers it.)
Can you charge a USB device (such as a cell phone) from the keyboard/dock USB port without the tabled docked to it? (Assuming no.)
Anyone use it as an ereader such as the Kindle app? How readable is it in daylight?

The dock's battery is designed to be an extension of the tablet's battery and the firmware's goal is to keep the tablet charged and ready for disconnect. From my experience it appears that when you are docked the dock's is constantly transferring power to the tablet so I suspect it would charge a flat tablet battery. When the charger is connected the dock the tablet's battery is charged first, and then the dock's battery. This is in keeping with the design of ensuring the tablet is ready to go standalone all the time.

Like most TFT displays the screen is largely unreadable in direct sunlight. If you need to read by the pool in direct sunlight that you want an e-ink screen like the Kindle or original (not color) Nook.
I was just wondering, other than a USB Stick, external keyboard and mouse, what other uses are there for the USB ports on the Transformer's dock? I'm just not aware of what drivers Honeycomb has for external devices.

Hooking up controllers for your various emulators and playing games the way god meant for them to be played- with physical controls and buttons.
You could charge your mobile phone for example (no kidding!). I also successfully mounted an external NTFS-formatted (self-powered) HDD and an old MP3 player. Soon they will add camera detection and maybe there will be a way to print too (but that's just me talking).
Can you add an external USB wireless card on those USB ports?
Plug in a 3 MiFi dongle, have wifi anywhere as well as four other devices.
Hi checkbox111,
I don't think I understand your reply properly. Are you saying that you plugged a 3mifi wifi dongle and it worked?
Did you also try plugging a normal external USB wirelless adapter and connect to the internet with it instead of using the internal wifi on the tablet?
Thanks

Plugging in a mifi dongle just gives it power to transmit, you can then just pick up the wifi/mifi signal just like any wifi signal.

No! two reasons
1 why would i try when a mifi dongle works OK, i don't need both
2 I don't think these work with android anyway
Has anyone tried a USB headset? I would, sometimes, like to make Skype calls and I don't think the onboard mic is good enough and would therefore prefer a headset? Would a USB headset work? Or any way of connecting a headset with 2x 3.5mm jacks?
Thanks

You mean USB-wireless dongle, right?
I am also curious for it.

Olay... I dug out my simpletech 160GB hdd, checked it formatted NTFS, plugged it in (It has msuic on it)...
How do I find it? I tried google music, but couldn't find anything.
Thanks!

When you connect a device it will appear in the menu bar at the bottom. Click on it and then on the folder icon. This opens the File Manager. you can also open the File Manager directly and navigate to /Removable/ and you'll find your SD cards and external HDD there. Just make sure it gets enough power!

Thats what i thought...must be something with the usb port as sd card works, dock works. i'll try another usb device (maybe mouse) to see if that works to narrow it down.
I can always reformat dirve too as last resort.
thanks.
Has anyone tried to tether to a phone using the usb port? If it works, it would be good for people with WM6.5 phones.

I thought TF doesn't recognize NTFS file system?

Not sure where you read this but I could see my HDD and play videos off it. I have the Prime V1.3 kernel installed so maybe that was part of it. But I am pretty sure that when ASUS offered the dock with TWO full-size USB ports they prepared the software for NTFS drives...
Has anyone tested any USB game pads? Do any work?
Has anyone tested any USB-key 3G modem? Do any work?
Well, thanks for all the ideas. I do hope that some of these controllers and other devices will be supported.

I'd like to figure out how to connect my Yamaha MIDI keyboard to my Asus tf101 tablet for recording via hardwired USB.
I've scoured the web looking for an app or solution to this and have come up generally blank, I've tried all the free midi controller apps, but they only seem to support Wifi or Bluetooth, which my keyboard is unable to do.
I'd like to eliminate my computer as a middleman (If I'm at my computer I'd just use that) and be able to use my tablet to record on the go!
Any ideas/thoughts/help/wisdom/proverbs/ninjas would be greatly appreciated
Device Info:
ASUS Transformer tf101 running
ICS 4.0.3 Rooted
I have the dock with 2 USB 2.0 ports that I am connecting to the connecter with.
Cable:
Amazon: USB MIDI Input Output Cable Converter PC Notebook
Works fine on computer and no issues so far via usb.
Thanks!

Can anyone help me?
I recently purchased the Lenovo S6000L tablet for the purpose of traveling. I wanted a large screen (10.1) tablet that could do the basic functions of a laptop, without having to lug around my 17.3 inch HP laptop to and from work/etc. My issue is, I work for a company that will not allow us to access their WiFi (security reasons), but we can use any LAN. I purchased an OTG cable and a USB to Ethernet converter. To my surprise, my Lenovo tablet wouldn't recognize the converter, thus, not allowing me to access the internet via the OTG cable. After that failure, I decided to root my tablet, which I did. Even with the root I can't seem to tweak the tablet to allow the internet connection bridge to work. Being P/O, I decided to go a step further by flashing a custom ROM to the tablet in hope that a different ROM would read and react to the OTG setup, but I'm unable to find a ROM that would work. Well their you have it, this is my big issue. Even though those are the steps I've taken or are willing to take, doesn't mean It's the only thing I'm looking to do, I'm open to anything that will work. So I desperately ask, does anyone have or know of a solution for me to use a RJ45 ethernet cable on this S6000L Lenovo tablet?
P.S. I've hooked up the USB to Ethernet to my PC and it worked, so it's not faulty. I've hooked up a flash drive to my tablet via the OTG cable and that worked also, so the OTG cable works as well.

you cannot use like that because to use internet from other device to android you must use reverse tethering method and it can be done only from connecting it to a laptop or pc
so yyou cant use internet directly from lan cable to your tab
I don't want to use it from another device.

I'm not using it from another device, I'm only using it and want to use it from a router and/or directly from a modem. I only hooked the adapter to my laptop once just to verify the adapter was working.

yes i understood your question
i said there is no way to use internet in tab from lan cable
The Nexus 7 tablet does it.

Corrections for the above reply: I misread your reply. In theory, reverse tethering is the same method. A source that contains internet(PC) that you bridge to your tablet and gives it internet. The Nexus 7 is one tablet that allows you to bridge a RJ45 to the tablet for LAN access, and their are others. My best guess is it's an software issue that Lenovo has blocked, but I'm looking for a way around it. I don't know if they added anything specific to the stock that is killing that use or is it just that the adapter I purchased isn't compatible with what I believe is Linux based software. As I said, I will travel any path to victory, even if I have to flash software that's used on the Nexus 7, if possible.
Sorry for the delay, I'm at work and people keep coming to me.
Houston, I believe I have a solution to my problem!!
I have no clue why I didn't think about it earlier but all it may take to remedy my issue can be spelled with one word, Portable Wireless Router. Ok, that's 3 words, but who cares! I don't. Whenever I'm in a situation where LAN is available but WLAN isn't, I figure all I would have to do is to plug the LAN into my soon to be purchased TP-LINK TL-WR702N 150Mbps Wireless N Nano Router. And BOOM! my own private WiFi hotspot.
