I'm trying to install backtrack5 for pentesting on this device, did it on the dinc. Couldn't get the card on the dinc in promiscuous mode. This one won't either, hoping to use OTG and another adapter. It has to be possible, I might not have the needed skill set. Still, I would like to try.
pritty sure that honeycomb requires ext4
Managed to install Ubuntu
I have a working Linux distro installed, as suspected, monitor mode not supported. Waiting for my OTG cable to try a known supported WiFi adapter. I have made this adapter work successfully on a Backtrack virtual machine and successfully penetrated a test network.

I'd like to connect to android powered tablet several peripherals (through micro usb I guess) like: couple of rs-232 ports, keyboard and even one rj12 port.. as I guess it's possible to create usb-hub-device to all this functions, and develop drivers for it.. I just never dealt with stuff like this before. What of it is possible and mb android have built-in support of some interfaces and devices..? goal is to make cheapest solid touch tablet based complete device.
For this to work, your Phone needs special USB-OTG-capable hardware. I doubt it has. If you don't know what it is and why it is definitely needed, google for USB OTG (on-the-go).
Of course, a simple USB host connector would do as well, but no phone has one (but some tablets do).
No android phone out now has USB host support, nor the drivers to run any peripherals.
thx for answrs, looks like its possible but I need to port usbhost module to device kernel.. and perpherals drivers modules too.
I have a piece of old equipment at work that i use a DOS program and a USB to serial adapter with a null modem cable to back up files off of the equipment. I installed DOS box and it runs my equipments program perfectly. Is it possible to communicate through the XOOM's USB port to my equipment using a USB to Serial adapter and null modem cable to do this with? Any help or advice would be great.
Thank You,
-Nathan
I guess I should take that as a NO!!!. I will pay to make this happen though!!

those usb to serial adapters use a Prolific chipset. Linux requires a kernel module to work with them. I suspect you'll need to build the kernel module and add a script to insmod it.
My boss will gladly pay someone to get this to work. If there are any Devs that want this project contact me and we can get this going. I know i can approve 1K to make this happen.
It can be done.
I have currently got my xoom setup so that I have a usb serial adapter connected to it for debugging purposes.
Do you know what chipset your usb to serial adaptor uses? I can then check if it is supported by the linux kernel.

I'm in. We'll start research. Sounds like fun.
Sign me up too. I would love to serial into Cisco devices with my xoom.
The following pieces of information i have already:
My usb2serial Adapter uses the prolific pl-2303 chipset
it is driven by the pl2303 kernel module.
the module depends on the usbserial module, which is already in tiamat as well as stock (its needed for the 3g modem i think)
So if i am correct we need the pl-2303 kernel module and a piece of software (minicom, cu) to use the serial (as far as i know there is no software in the market for this)
ok, i took a quick look at the tiamat git repository and it contains the pl2303 driver.
Now i am going to try to compile my own tiamat kernel
First time compiling linux for an android device
I would love to see this happen. I have tons of Cisco swithes and routers that I always have to configure on the fly. I know I can buy a bluetooth adapter but still have to power that :-( Would love to be able to hookup my otg cable, then my usb to serial, then to my console cable to configure everything.
Just not sure how to get the usb serial drivers installed on android :-(
If this ever gets working then my IT dept. will be getting a Xoom as well.
Thanks,
Ken~
Any updated news on getting this to work? Really don't want to spend $60 for a bluetooth serial adapter.

I can try and include a few optional modules for the next tiamat release for usb serial devices
This is an old thread but in case ...
I also have to do serial communication with an old printer.
For now, I'm trying to prototype with an arduino mega using a trendnet usb to serial adapter.
I'm using the sample app on the market of this lib :
http://slickdevlabs.com/slick-usb-2-serial-library/
I actually can send and receive bytes on the xoom.
The only problem for now is that characters receive or send are not correct. I Don't understnd but still searching.
Any way, it should work ...

install bt5 and then install minicom under bt5. The pl2303 module with the pl2303 usb serial adapter does this very well.
bt5 you mean "backtrack 5" ?
I must use default rom ... My customer doesn't wan't to loose it's warranty ...
And usage of Motorola xoom is sure.
It might be another tablet.
Using capabilities that only requre Android 3.1 (without root) and a USB Host allow to change of device easily.
I install Ubuntu 11.04 for my laptop but only wired work but not wireless? Can someone help me?
It's very possible that you have a wireless chipset where the drivers are not open source and thereby integrated directly into Ubuntu. What I would do is plug in via wire and then open your restricted hardware manager, otherwise known in some versions of Ubuntu as "hardware drivers". See if something comes up there. If anything will, it's likely to be Broadcom. From there, download it, reboot, and you should be wireless.
Make sure your hardware switch is not disabled as well, as that would directly effect Ubuntu's ability to pick up wireless networks.
Can you post the output of "lspci" from terminal?
i'll let u know.. thanks
just wondering if there is any way to get usb tethering working on Linux. My last phone (LG Optimus T) worked out of the box, but my SK4G has never tethered. I've tried on Ubuntu, Debian and OpenSuSE to no avail. FWIW I just tried tethering on my old phone and it does not work either, but that could be because I am running an unstable ICS build. The last time I used it, I was on Cyanogenmod7.1 and everything was fine.
Could it be a kernel module is no longer present in the generic Linux kernel? Weird thing is though that I just built the latest kernel and made sure the Android modules were included and still, no tethering.
PDA Net works fine on OSX. I don't have a Windows install to test with though so I can't confirm whether it works on Windows.
I do believe PDA net works in Windows, but I've never been able to do any kind of usb tethering in Ubuntu. I was under the impression it just doesn't work, unless someone else knows a way?
All you should need is a generic "NDIS" driver. Not sure if one exists for *nix or not, but I would think one would.
The Sidekick is just really not a good phone when it comes to drivers and things like that.

...but for USB Tether that shouldn't matter. The generic ALL SAMSUNG PHONES driver should work, and on top of that, the generic NDIS driver should work with ANY android phone. (again, there is a generic Microsoft NDIS driver for windows, not sure about *nix, but I'd be very surprised if such a thing didn't exist)
not to split hairs but incorrect on all accounts. There is no need whatsoever to use NDIS drivers since Android support is built specifically into the Linux kernel. NDIS is not really a solution that is used anymore. The vast majority of regular ethernet and Wifi NICs work out of the box with the exception of some that have proprietary kernel modules that aren't shipped by default with distros due to licensing conflicts.
that being said, USB tethering is a whole different ball game. And as far back as Ubuntu 9.10 USB tethering has worked out of the box on Android phones. But since I think 11.04 (probably with kernel 2.34 I believe) it has ceased working. I came across a kernel patch for the USB ethernet modules used by Android devices, but I have yet to have any success with tethering, even on the patched kernel.
As I said, I don't have a Windows install on any of my computers, we're all Linux and OSX here. PDA Net works just fine on OSX.
wired tether doesn't work on my old phone either, but that may be because it's running a very bleeding edge unstable ROM.
Interesting. All I know is my CarPC uses tinyXP which includes no drivers. I downloaded the microsoft NDIS driver (just a .inf file), and it allowed my USB Tether to start working. I hope that clue helps you in your search for a solution.
UPDATE: Actually, I guess this most recent reinstall I did use samsung drivers. The drivers I used are attached in a zip. I know it's not *nix drivers, but maybe it will help you find the right thing.
My Goal: To run a small Debian server on my mobile device. Like a raspberry Pi, but no need for Xwindows, So no GUI needed. Like a mini-NAS.
I guess to make my goal, the idea would be to use a USB 3.1 hub with enough USB ports for the following:
1 Gbit Ethernet USB dongle.
1 (or more) SSDs attached by USB
As an extra bonus it would be great to display 'top' or 'vmstat' on the phone screen. The idea is also to use the battery as a UPS. So should the power fail, the 'server' would keep running.
My OS of choice is 'Debian'.
Some assumptions on my part:
I will need to build a custom ROM based on a kernel for my model of phone (or could I get away with a 'generic' kernel for all phones?)
It will need to use DHCP to get an IP on the USB ethernet adapter and start SSH as a minimum (as I won't have the screen working to be able to log in).
Is this possible? Is it 'easy'? Would I need to build a custom kernel? Do I need to do 'special' things to get USB support to work, or is that pretty 'standard'? Initially I don't care about Screen/mic/speakers/lights/vibrate and all of those.
