First, let me apologize for asking what is probably a really stupid question, but I know very little about linux and nothing about Android, so after a couple hours searching I'm still not clear on what the best way to do this is.
I've been working on optimizing ffmpeg and related libraries for various ARM processors to improve battery life on portable devices. Right now I do this by cross compiling my assembly code, flashing it to a device over USB, and then testing it. This is incredibly tedious since I have no way to get debug info if something doesn't work.
What I'd like to do is setup some kind of debian/ubuntu/whatever install on the G1 and then be able to SSH in to run run cross compiled binaries from my linux work station over wifi. Currently I have CM6 on the G1, but I'm fine with erasing all of that. I've found a lot of threads about dual booting, and running debian in android, but it wasn't clear to me which of those were going to give me the closest thing to an ARM dev box. Worse some of the guides flat out say that Wifi doesn't work if you follow them.
Is there some simple way to flatten the CM install and just get a stock Debian command line booting with networking and SSH? Could anyone offer advice about what I should be doing?
The openmoko people helped me install openmoko on my G1, then use USB networking to run cross compiled binaries on the G1. So far, it works great!
Sorry for the dumb thread.
Does any know if is possibile to connect a pen USB to HD2?

leo usb host (sponsored by google) gives THIS xda thread from feb last year,
(not very easily, is the actual answer)
i wanna bring this up again. would it be possible to port the usb host kernel patch from the nexus one or desire hd to the hd2 kernel?
+1 bump, i would be interested in this as well. The wiki states current kernel is the problem
http://htc-linux.org/wiki/index.php?title=Leo/Status
Code:
USB
Android Debug (ADB) works
Normal USB Ethernet works with patch from mobile-linux-discuss Mailing List - see Contact
USB Host is broken in current kernel (due to battery driver detection not working). see mailing list Contact
but i'm not sure which branch it refers to, .32 should have no problem with this. Should be portable from the N1, since it's the same SoC. We would also need an app for switching between Host and Slave mode
+1 for this feature, would love to copy the camera HQ snaps and upload to flickr while on the move. ALso keeping a backup pendrive with songs/videos will be wonderful too. The possibilities are actually endless
USB OTG / Host thread bump
I would like to bump the thread.
I recall USB host funcionality was successfully implemented to ubuntu distros kernel...
It was ported to android distros with loosing the USB gadjet funcionality (desire and nexus)
... but now there is a new light...
It is fully working on SGS2! this means no more: "android is not built for this"
are there any kernel devs interested in USB OTG for leo?
Is there anyone familiar how it's done in SGS2 kernel and android build so that it just works?
I thought it was the case that Leo does not supply any power to the USB port = tough to power devices :-(

Available information says it does not.
Possibly there are some microp commands to trigger some power when OTG is supposed to be active...
After all, power could be injected from an external source (this is how it works under linux distros: Ubuntu on Leo, Debian) so i think this would be the smallest problem
Today I saw that DFT has made the USB host working on WM6.5, so it is only a software limitation , and it is in the current kernel.
I've used an USBHost mode onmy DHD (with a patched kernel for USB host). Actually it can''t provide enough power to other devices, but with some power injection cable the Mass Storage works fine.
Also i saw in the EVO forum a guy who ported a DirectLink Display Drivers, so this will give us a TV-Out option.
So is there anyone working for solution?
Leo usb host development
Although I have not much experience in kernel development I will put all my efforts on figuring out a solution on this issue.
I have a question to ported Host mode to your DHD.
I have heard that when host mode is implemented to the kernel, one must sacrifice USB gadget (on this kernel only). Did you try ADB or multimount to connect to pc?
Host mode was successfully implemented into linux distro kernel and I may be wrong but I recall Dan1j3l mentioned somewhere that he was able to port the Sven Killig's host mode to Leo android kernel as well.
Besides, in the 2.6.37 kernel (CM) for Leo developent tree there are all of the files included, but the problem is that the kernel does not boot yet :/

Since there are many (including myself) who are interested in this, maybe we should open a thread for DEVs (tag it with [DEV]) to see who can help with this. Hope that you will be successful with this.
separate [DEV] thread
sure, why not.
One thing I would suggest though
As i hate endless talks in threads (making them hard to get condenced info on the subject) maybe it would make sense to have a pair of threads: one with babbling, second with pure technical info and conclusions.
in case of my progress I am at the stage of reading, pulling trees, setting up environments, reading, reading, reading...
since there is a number of trees with host included I am planning to setup some sort of code visualisation tools to look for similarities and system solutions - will try to implement it further into our Leo kernel
... dont know where it will lead me, but with a little luck...
Just a little update (for those interested)
I managed to succesfully compile and boot a kernel with host patch roughly integrated.
I did not test if the host features worked or not, but at least the process is somehow working, and the source code is not totally messed up.
The symptoms observed within android are USB connection not recognized and no charging (effect of usb gadget functions being cut off; battery/charging driver dependent on usb connection state).
It is obvious that the way is still long, but at least there is some minor progress
I am not going to give up...yet
Whish me luck ;-)
(It's time to setup some gear and read lots more...)

Sorry for not giving any major update.
I did setup all required hardware, tested, but (as suspected) it didn't work yet.
I had to suspend host related activities due to uni stuff.
I expect to close my remaining issues within a week and get back to getting this bastard to work

Hi guys,
Thanks for the support.
Unfortunately I had no time to move anywhere forwards due to tough times at work :/
Comming week is (hopefuly) the last one, as next weekend I am planning to be a master in engineering
To explain the other devs:
the host capabilities of our android device seams a minor benefit, esspecially in comparison to 2.6.35 or .37 ongoing developments.
Let them do these serious stuff and left these /fairly/ simple ports to greenhorns
cheers

Thanks for updating us Take your time then... you are starting your Masters or you are graduating?
Btw, I believe that the devs are not 'helping' because they do not know about this thread in the Q&A... would be nice if you can start a thread with a [DEV] tag. That would really get their attention. Just my 2 cents. I could gladly come up with one if you don't have the time.
Thanks.
Hi,
WebTop (with full ubuntu mod) works fine with Trendnet TU2-ET100 (asix chipset).
I have just added these 2 lines in "/osh/etc/network/interfaces" for DHCP autoconfiguration :
auto usbeth0
iface usbeth0 inet dhcp
Doum
Nice to know. Ethernet might come in handy for a lot of people docking as their PCs.
I guess any other USB ethernet card that works with a normal Linux PC should work here.
Hello there,
First I would like to say that I'm glad that in the last few weeks i finally managed to let my heavy 15.4' 9 cell Dell Laptop on the Office and bring home the Atrix + LapDock everyday including weekends and holidays
I have what i need on my LapDock + FullUbuntu: gedit, gnome-terminal, OpenOffice, PDF readers, Psi+ (jabber client with PGP Encryption), GNUPG, Mumble Voice Chat, Firefox (with client SSL certificates ) and OpenVPN.
Everything else, like e-mail, music and video players i'll prefer running on the Android
So, i want to buy this USB -> Ethernet adapter to make it even better!
I thought buying the TrendNet but it seems somewhat bigger than other adapters that use the same "chipset" (ASIC). I also find those adapters cheaper than the TrendNet one:
http://www.ebay.com/dsc/i.html?_nkw...=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313&LH_TitleDesc=1
I think i will buy this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NIB-REAL-US...ltDomain_0&hash=item56471dfaff#ht_2136wt_1026
It seems great but now i'm not entirely sure what's the chipset on the TrendNet: AX88772A or AX88772B?
The one i'm buying uses the AX88772B.
The difference seems to be very small, the drivers seems to be the same and the "B" version supports checksum offloading and it's intended for Low Power consumption. Here's the detailed specs of both chips:
http://www.asix.com.tw/products.php?op=pItemdetail&PItemID=97;71;101
http://www.asix.com.tw/products.php?op=pItemdetail&PItemID=105;71;101
So, what do you guys think?
Did you get it yet? If you did, how does it work?

I bought this one from Deal Extreme:
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/usb-2-0-10-100mbps-rj45-lan-ethernet-network-adapter-dongle-34691
It's really cheap, small and uses the AX88772B chipset.
But i'm not able to test yet, simply because it's not here yet
I bought using standard Air Mail that takes something like 20 days to get here in Brazil... And when it does arrive here it's going to take 10 more days (or even more) for Brazilian (Fuc***) Customs to release it for Brazilian Postal Service to finally deliver it... This sucks.
But well, i promise that as soon as I get it, i will test and put the results here.
Merry Christmas!
Post resurrection alert!
I tried this with an Airlink 101 today. I didn't add the extra lines listed in the OP, but I did start the dhcp client manually and it got an address and webtop was happy. Does anyone know if the android portion of the phone is able to use the wired Ethernet connection? From my quick test it didn't seem like it did.
I have a much slimmer Cisco USB to Ethernet adapter that I plan to try. I used the Airlink because it was lying around on my desk doing nothing.
And with all the webtop talk starting up, this may be of interest to others.
AX88772B not working
Well, mine did not work
I bougth this one from DealExtreme:
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/usb-2-0...r-dongle-34691
As i said before, it uses the AX88772B chipset.
I have confirmed that and installed the driver for my MacBookPro and it's working just fine.
I have downloaded the drivers from:
http://www.asix.com.tw/products.php?op=pItemdetail&PItemID=105;71;101
It's noticeable that there is also a driver for Android but it's the source code, not the compiled kernel module.
So i think i'll will need to get the Atrix kernel source compile the driver with the headers and prey to work...
Maybe it's something with my ROM... I have updated to the latest Motorola official 2.3.6 build for Brazil.
Could you guys tell me what's the output of these two linux commands, as soon as you plug the USB device ( the last 10 lines or so):
$ dmesg
and
$ lsmod
Victor.
This is awesome.
Can't wait until they bring the webtop to CM7. It was a loss when I upgraded, but the smoothness and capabilities of a CM7 rom are worth the loss of the webtop... for now.
It's good to know that when it get's working again I can use a USB to Ethernet with the Ubuntu mod.
Thanks!

Don't hold ur breath.....cm9 is underway don't think webtop is gonne come yo cm7 but u can always mirror with lapdock
root, make changes, then unroot
Would like to be able to use a usb ethernet adapater on my unaltered Atrix running 2.3.4. If I were to root, make the changes to the two lines and then unroot again, would the changes remain?
In Post 6 above there is mention of the usb ethernet adapter only working under webtop. Is there a way to make it work on the phone itself as well, i.e., for the phone browser / market / email / etc.
Hello.
When it connected to my HDDOck - eth0 not detected. In the webtop (I webtop2sd) lights icon - an unknown usb connection ...
Any advices to solve this issue ..
i have this issue also, connecting usb broadband detects it as cd-rom drive. i have zte mf627 broadband kit. ill attached screens later. dmesg result show port but has no device name.

A nearly 2 yr old dead thread just had to be brought back to the surface? esp with your results being the same as the previous member's results?
Greetings! I've been lurking on XDA for quite some time, and first I would like to give a big thank you to all the developers. I would never have purchased a Kindle Fire if I didn't have faith in your ability to unlock the hardware's true potential. You guys/gals rock.
Here's my question: I develop and troubleshoot municipal and commercial wired/wireless networks and I would really like to be able to use the KF with backtrack. I understand that OTG support under ICS is very close to being a reality, would it be possible to support an external wifi adapter via OTG?
Drawing power is the first problem that comes to mind, so my thought is to mod a USB OTG adapter to draw from an external DC source instead of the KF.
This could have some awesome potential if it could work. I'm willing to do whatever I can to make this happen, so if one of you veteran developers could set me on the right track to backtrack it would be greatly appreciated.
I'm no wifi/kernel expert but as far as i have understood it:
It should be possible if you get the right wifi modules to work. Android uses a modified wpa_supplicant, so even if you have linux wifi drivers for usb you would need to patch them to get it running. The current kernel does not have mac80211/cfg80211 modules compiled it, but i think that you probably would need them (i think they are in the kernel source, they are just not set yet). The current module for the tiwlan is proprietary and is also uses some strange ibCustomWifi as wrapper around WEXT, not sure if they also did some changes there.
If the 3.0 kernel boots we should anyhow change to a mac80211 wifi driver and also use wpa_supplicant 0.8 instead of 0.6 so your chances should be a lot better with the 3.0 kernel.
So it strongly depends if your external wifi adapter is very well supported for linux (or better for Android ....) und if we get otg running. (There might be some hidden problems to discover).
Sengwall,
There are several threads in the xda forums for similar projects on different devices that might be useful as the steps are basically the same (assuming that somebody gets OTG working). Here's one of them:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1484339
Thanks for the input...ill look and see if there has been success on other devices with the same board.... great suggestion.
Hey all! Not sure if this is the right place, but I didn't see anything specific for Nexus 6 and Nethunter. All my research so far shows that everybody who's tried hunter is very pro, but uh.. nobody seems to be talking any smack about it. No security flaws, no warnings about root, and even to some degree no real description of it's compatibility forward.
Does anyone have a list of pros and cons about Nethunter?
Maybe explain a bit about what this is? I haven't heard of it so I'm not sure if what I looked up on the intent is what you are talking about.
It's a pentesting ROM made for a few android devices (Nexus 6 now supported). Wifi hacking tools and the like preloaded and support built into the system rom and kernel for these kinds of tools. It looks pretty cool I'll have to check it out myself (on multi rom maybe). One problem I do see with it is you do need to use an external USB wifi adapter (via usb otg adapter), as the internal wifi apparently doesn't support monitor mode or packet injection which are required for many of the tools. It may be possible to add that later but given that those binaries are usually closed source (Qualcom) I'm doubting it. Still looks very cool.

This isn't entirely true. It is NOT a ROM at all. It's more of a "package" type of thing. Think of it this way, you go flash CM and then have to flash Gapps after. It's the same thing for NetHunter. You flash whatever AOSP ROM you want then flash the NetHunter zip file. It will install busybox, terminal emulator, a keyboard, and a few other things along with an app named NetHunter home. It's pretty much an app to launch NetHunter tools/features/services. I'm currently running Google's factory image of Android 5.1 and have NetHunter installed.

I stand corrected. As I said, I do need to try it. Sounds nice though if it's that universal and unobtrusive

Nexus 6 Nethunter
Hey, so ive been playing arround with nethunter for acouple months now and ive been loving every moment. I think ive had it since this post came out. I have always wanted a little power house of a device that can do more than just search the internet, call and text people , and take pictures. From an easy start flashing the ROM to learning alot about Kali I must say its about time something like this came along.
For con's it doesnt come with RFCOMM support, ive been having trouble with bluetooth dongles even after days of researching the only conclusion is you will have to recompile the kernel to enable Rfcomm. Secondly also with NFC there is no mifare support, wasnt going too deep into this one, i figured it would be the same answer as Rfcomm. Thirdly some tools listed on the Kali website cannot be loaded and installed onto the Nexus like Burp Suit. There is no GTK support for GUI tools, meaning the tools you use can only be used in a terminal interface, unless you use a HTML interface and set the GUI's up somehow using a localhost. Lastly, the internal devices like WIFI bluetooth and NFC card can not be used for monitoring or injection. You must have a separate dongle. However you can change your wlan0 mac with macchanger and i believe you can clone non mifare chipsets with the built in nfc card. (Old nfc devices)
For the pro's, it is mobile with 2.6 gHz quadcore snapdragon 805 and 3Gb of ram, usual usage is 20-30% Ram keeping it clean with AllinOne Toolbox otherwise with alot running you'll use more ram. Battery watching youtube with brightness about 33% lasts 8 hrs or so but when it comes to using dictionaries for password cracking it uses 100% of your CPU so battery consumption is much greater. . . just keep it plugged in or save the files for your pc to crack. Other than that theres alot of preloaded tools and an app menu which includes HID attacks and also its own menu with SET. It also comes with acouple other apps like droid drive which you can load up any O/S from your Nexus via usb to any computer. And i also believe that it does not touch the hard drive on the pc.
So far using wifite it can crack any wep key in under 10 min WPA key in about 2 hrs. Max was about 2000 keys/sec and on average 1100 keys/sec. Using a randomly selected word from the Rockyou.txt file it took over 2.5 million keys to find it... but it was successful. You can download tools like cupp.py or crunch to customize lists to your liking. Also i havent tried it yet but reaver for wps takes roughly 4-10 hours. Any tools that use a GUI cannot be displayed properly without configuring the files your self. For say the tool driftnet it will not display the images gathered... rather you will have to save them into a file and view them separately from that file.
As far as security nmap cannot discover any open ports from a fresh install of nethunter on my home network. But Nethunter can discover many open ports on my old DV6. If uou want to stay anonymous you can use tor app.
In all if you really want a fun, powerful, mobile pentesting device this is it.
Does it support all of SET? The web server, cloning existing sites and infecting them, the email sending and so on?
I'm very interested in this rom but there's still one question for me left: if I flash it with TWRP is forced encryption on aigan?

What WiFi dongle are you using... I've been lurking around the Kali website for a couple years. Tried nethunter when it first dropped for the nexus 6. Looking to learn it a little better and give it a try. Maybe we can pm?

hey you can pm me at [email protected] its easier. Sorry i havent been on here in a while just got my self a raspberry pi 2 and was playing arround with that for a bit. Its all the same stuff as kali but with a few less hardware capabilities like i have listed. It is pretty powerful tho considering the physical size of the device. Many generic wifi dongles do work just check the chipset on google and make sure it is one that is listed on the kali website.. usualy atheros brodcomm ralink and some others generaly work well. or you can juat plug it right in at the store and do a quick airmon-ng start wlan1 to see if it works. The linksys im using is older and only supports g speeds. so its good for just acouple things.. nothing speedy. Its a good close range mission dongle. I herd athros ones have good rep tho for range and preformance. here is my dongle info if your wondering.

Internal Wifi Card Support on Nexus 6p?
So I'm very new to pentesting and am trying to learn so please bear with me. I was actually doing some research on putting kali on my nexus 6p (to avoid carrying around a netbook) hopefully on a partition (which I'm not entirely sure how to do, but will perservere until I'm told it cant be done) to try to maintain the normal function of my phone on stock android, and boot into kali when needed.
I came across this thread and discovered what NetHunter was. Through my earlier research, I determined that the Nexus 6p's onboard card is a broadcom bcm4358 which supports monitoring and (according to aircrack-ng's compatibility chart) packet injection after a driver patch.
My question then is this: would it be possible to use this device with either kali linux or nethunter without an external (and not so stealthy) wifi card?
If I have some missing piece of info or some of what I have is incorrect, please help me find the correct information to continue my reasearch.
i have a fair amount of independent troubleshooting? and through a year and a half of nexus 5 to the 2 nexus 6 i have. i written anything worth of measurable difference between one set of "build" compatibility and also meta building on top of ROMs. one rule of thumb i need to stress is the systemless root that is now commonly standardized in most ROMS will need to be pulled out. also, consistent busybox throughout the system. (new/old shouldnt really coexist). i have found Velcro to a case and the adapter you plan on using helps keep it all organized (needless to say i buy a new case when a buy a new wifi dongle and change the case)

if aircrack has it on a supported list, there will still be an amount of time where the build could exploit it without your own development?
at the moment....yes.an adapter would be required. nexus 5 is internally supported(as far as i have dug up)...a good example of why we need an external adapter(overall) is https://store.pwnieexpress.com/product/pwn-phone2014b/
i have been using the nexus 6 with the tp link 822n with considerable compatibility. it was $20 at Frys. very easy to pick up OTC without hunting something down online

i also have a built image of kali across a laptop. it has a detrimental amount of exploitation abilities. i would prefer not to explore this too far because each build will require a different customized image and "help" is going to cause confusion unless i had the SAME laptop. my laptop is mainly for defensive environments. and my devices are for setting up or info gathering to prepare for my laptops secure (no detection) measures.

*hopes this helps*
Hi I also am having trouble getting both the RF to work and an external wifi dongle to run. Where do i how do I compile a new Kernal?
I don't use it frequently but I love having Nethunter on my device. I use an Alfa AWUS036NEH adapter with an otg adapter and it works flawlessly. My phone actually cracks wireless networks faster than my laptop. If you take the time to learn about penetration testing, the possibilities are endless! I used to own a WiFi Pineapple Nano but sold it because I found that I could do everything with Nethunter. The Pineapple has a great GUI and it's great if you want to to do things without actually learning anything. I actually just ordered a book on Metasploit, as I'm really eager to master the framework. I think it's an extremely powerful tool but I don't know too much about it yet.

goggling the adaptors model and version will turn up with its chip-set. it would be best to form the adapter to the device and not the device to the adaptor......there are plenty of chip-sets supported. going out of ones way to rebuild a kernel: warrants specific needs.

I learned after one time of asking a fry's employee, that there are specific questions that might not throw up red flags in your mind as to a specific hardware or firmware requirements...but it will be too specific for a "floor guy" to remedy. they will do the right thing by getting a higher-up to assist you with your questions. long story short.....i found the host controller i was looking for and it ran about $250.i believe that so many red flags went up somewhere along the line. that several of the low end host controllers replaced the high end ones(on the shelf)with the specific adaptor i was looking for. i returned a few weeks later with a friend so he could get one (to make sure it was the SAME one i had)...it was gone and no one really wanted to answer the questions for us. i thought to myself, "dont go the hardware store and ask for a duplicate of a bump-key"
I use an Alfa AWUS036NEH adapter with a $6 otg adapter and it works flawlessly. Imo, that's the best adapter to use with Kali!
i have used nethunter allot and i can say it runs ok, if your a pen tester it has allot of tools for you. However battery life is not great and speed is slow. i would say its comparable to stock rom maybe a tad slower.
can do everything i even captured a wpa2 wifi handshake with wifite.
7.1.1 and nethunter
Has anyone had any experience with nethunter on the Nexus 6 running 7.1.1? I like the features of Nougat and don't want to have to give up the security patches or features by going back to 6.0.1 to get full nethunter support. I have heard some people mention having to manually copy/paste ducky payloads because that functionality wasn't working with nethunter on nougat; but wondered if anyone here has had any experience. Thanks to all who reply!

Yes, indeedy.
It took me more than a few frustrated attempts, but it's working well now.
Although it has a couple idiosyncrasies, the workarounds are quite straightforward. No need to manually install the payloads, or anything like that.
If you're still interested in giving it a go, I would be happy to list out the steps. :good:
