Hello everyone,
I am taking networking classes and I was wondering if it's possible, instead of carrying a laptop with me, to use my SGS2(rooted) to configure switches/router with.
I bought a female to female usb adapter, and i also have a USB to serial cable. So all the cabling is fine, but still when I open a console emulator i get nothing going there...
I believe it may be parity related, but there seem to be no console parity settings on any of the terminal emulators that i was able to find on the market.
Usualy, if you extablish a console connection from a laptop via USB, the usb port gets defaulted to COM3 or COM4. Do android devices have a defaulted COM port to the usb connection, Is there a config file where I can change it, or is it supported at all?
any help would be appreciated,
thanks

Ok so I do a fair bit of IT support work these days and thought about all the nice little possibilities it would open up if I could connect my Touch Pro to the network or other devices directly via ethernet.
If you can get USB Network dongles these days, I don't see why you can't have a mini-usb one, but I don't see many around. Does anyone know of a product like this?
If there isn't one, perhaps you could ues a regular USB Network stick/dongle, and use a USB to mini-usb converter. Then I guess it would be a case of someone making a driver or app, right?
Any solutions or suggestions appreciated.
Thanks.
Have the same problem.
Lately I was wondering about the same thing. I've found some USB to RJ45 converters, and was wondering about drivers or app, have you finger something out?

Take a good look at any USB cable: the two ends are different. One end is for a USB Host (desktopPC/Laptop/Mac). The other end is for a USB **Device** (thumb drive, wireless network dongle, **YOUR PHONE**). Trying to plug two USB *Devices* together would be like trying to plug two USB thumbdrives together to swap files... or more acutately, pluging a USB Network dongle to your thumbdrive to access it over teh internets. ooh, it would be sweet if it were possible.
well that's a bummer. I was thinking that the phone can act as a host when you use the internet connection sharing....
yeah, different kind of host. Actually trying to get that second type of host working myself (Internet Sharing): The USB connection is the bad guy here, by design it's either host or device.
Now you migth find *bluetooth* RJ45 device, but why not just buy a wireless router for your network and use your Fuze's Wifi capabilities? If you plugged a USB Wifi dongle into your desktop, that should be enough to use your fuze's wifi to connect... activsync style. don't ask me how to use it via Internet Sharing, still trying that.
Has anyone tried this app on HD2

There is no USB host support in our Leo, so makes not much sense to play with it.
"you can easily connect USB keyboards or mouses to your Pocket PC's USB Host connector"
BlueInput might help instead, but the current version works with the Microsoft Bluetooth stack only.
actulay it seams that it does have host support

As far as I remember there is currently a person on this forum that was working on a usb host but it had to have external power since the micro usb does not supply 5v like a mini usb can. But it was working and with a usb hub that had external power he was running a keyboard,mouse,card reader.
So do some actual searching and you will find the thread.
Hey, I'm trying to figure out how feasible it would be to connect a high powered usb wireless adapter that supports packet injection (Alfa AWUS036H) to my Xoom for some wireless kung-fu.
If I can find or hack up a cable to even connect the adapter to the small usb port would it be possible to interact with it and possibly port or even write a driver for it? If so, how non-trivial would it be, is Android driver development documented somewhere or does it need some secret magic sauce?
Is there an app/program or is it otherwise possible to share a usb device plugged into an android phone with a desktop computer, or vice versa over wifi or bluetooth. For example plugging a DSLR into my android phone and having it show up on the desktop computer as if it were connected via usb. There would be a ton of uses for this if it is possible. It would change your phone into a sort of wireless USB port.
there is software USB Network Gate with Win and Linux versions which probably could help you, but I don't know if it will work with Android...
I had run into USB Network Gate in my search for something similar for android. Seems like a great tool. If only it were able to run on android and was a bit cheaper.
Anyone know of something like this that will run on android?
I have an exercise bike (Proform Tour De France PFEX01416) that came with a custom Android tablet as the GuI for the bike. I have root access to Android and I believe it is jailbroken. I can telnet to it and I think install any software.
The bike has wifi, but it only supports 802.11B. Unfortunately, it won't connect to my router. I can plug it into the router via an ethernet connection, but that is where I need help.
I did found a Mini USB port and I plugged in a Mini USB to female USB and then plugged in the ethernet cable. Nothing happened.
The bike is running Android 2.2 and does have the ethernet module installed. When I "enable" it - it says that it does not exist. I'm guessing because it doesn't know to check the USB port.
Unfortunately, my understanding is that I can't upgrade the android version on the bike because the proprietary bike software will stop working.
Let me know if you have any ideas! I'd be willing to pay a small fee if you can fix this!
