I've been trying for the last week or so to implement USB-to-Ethernet on my tablet. I've installed the correct asix driver and I am able to give it an IP, but I am not sure how to test the connection on the tablet since I can't do anything with WiFi turned off.
Should the Ethernet option in Settings -> Wireless and networks -> More settings be automatically enabled once it detects an Ethernet connection? Do I need a patch or did I miss a step?

Hi
I have an Android box running 4.2.2 ICS
Just wondered, I would like to be able to remotely wake it from a sleep state with a PC (similar to a PC wake on lan command) - had a search but cant find anything, is there such a thing available?
Also, it has an ethernet port that I would like to use to connect to the outside world via a proxy but there are no proxy settings for the ethernet. Setting the proxy in the WiFi dosnt work for ethernet and the apps I've tried (proxy droid etc) only work with WiFi connections too. Anyone found a solution to this please?
Any help gratefully received
Cheers
well i would like to share my thoughts and findings regarding the dreadful wifi problems some units have.
we can actually use ethernet while driving:
1. get one of these http://plugable.com/products/usb2-e1000/
they work out of the box with our units.. just plug and play
2. get one of these http://www.tp-link.com.au/products/details/TL-WR702N.html
or this http://www.tp-link.com.au/products/details/TL-WR802N.html
connect the "usb to ethernet" to any usb on your unit and connect the small router to the "usb to ethernet" via a small ethernet cable..
you can configure the small router in client mode so it will take internet from your phone via tethering and pass it on to the "MTCD"
I haven't tried it as i am still waitin for the small router, but the "usb to ethernet" works very nice.. there is even an indication on the status bar that will show when it is connected to ethernet..
now a problem arises with some apps that want a wifi connection to download data and will refuse to work with ehternet connection (eg. tomtom).
you can install this xoposed module:
http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.lemonsqueeze.fakewificonnection
it will mask the ethernet for selected apps and the apps will work with no problem (also tested and works)
good luck
Dear friends,
I have a Witson (MX) PX5 MTCD head-unit.
I have an old dongle from 3: ZTE MF627 (http://www.three.co.uk/Support/Devices/Modems/ZTE/MF627) which works but it connects slowly, and if it looses signal usually it will not re-connect to 3G until you re-plug it. It's not very reliable even on a computer.
So I got this new dongle from 3: ZTE MF370M (http://www.three.co.uk/Discover/Devices/ZTE/MF730M).
It is fast, reliable, connects fast etc... on a computer!
But I didn't know this actually has a different way of working: instead of being like a modem for the head-unit, when you plug it into anything, it dials and connects very fast. Then it creates an USB Ethernet hotplug wired connection for the host device (Windows, Mac, Linux computer etc).
Although generally supported as driver, the problem is that the Android OS in the head-unit doesn't know about this network (nobody wrote a config script or settings for this).
Did anyone manage to make this work?
Thanks!
I tried Malaysk ROM v5.0 because it was saying it has Ethernet settings.
I can see the eth driver recognised in dmesg.
However enabling Other Networks > Ethernet - thinks a bit then it disables it again. I tried both DHCP and Static IP with the usual settings of the dongle - but still no go.
My android phone is usually on wifi at home. My laptop has some wifi chip/antennae issues so I have to either connect to the network via a lan port or, alternatively, use android phone usb tethering. If I am connected via the latter, on the laptop I observe that I cannot connect to the router network - I cannot even access the router login page.
I don't know a simple term for this feature. I guess it works like a network switch. But is there any app that, when enabled would help me connect my laptop (when usb-tethered) to the wifi network?
Hi looking to resolve a problem that I can't find an answer to by using Google
I have a tablet running android 11 and have connected a USB c to Ethernet adapter. I have activated wifi and the tablet connects to my local office network. I have activated Ethernet tethering and plugged in a LAN cable to the adapter and the external device (ASIC computer).
The tablet is basically being used to provide wifi connectivity for the device.
I can log into the dashboard and it shows that the ASIC computer is connected and all is working normally BUT I have not found a way to log into the device.... mainly because I have not found a way to locate it's IP address.
I want to be able to configure the firmware on the device from the tablet. It is possible to do this by connecting the device to the router via a lan cable. I then find the IP address on my PC, but I would like to also use the tablet. Thanks
Here is a link to show the set up: https://photos.app.goo.gl/iFsKNWniz2DiDpHD7
Bumped! still trying to get an answer....
