Hello all,
First off, I'd like to thank everyone who made Linux on the Iconia possible. After my posts about Bodhi Linux, I've noticed interest in BackTrack and other Linux distros. So tell me, what distros (preferably Debian based) would you like to see? This is also a section to discuss device drivers under Linux. This isn't going under Android Development for 2 reasons:
1. This isn't Android, these are other Linux distros
2. An OS is a compilation of applications, so it will go here
My logic isn't perfect, my ways are questionable, but at the end of the day, I'll try to get you some nice code.

Plasma Active 2 looks good. Looks like there are two Tegra 2 ports. One of them for the Asus Transformer. A good base to start with?

I looked into those. They look good. I think I'm going to compile from source on a debian-based system (i'm just a debian person), and see where it goes from there.
Would you be able to compile a Ubuntu 11.10 version with unity for the Iconia A500?
Thanks

Here too!!
I use a USB hub with 1 keyboard and my Realtek8187L USB.
I can't know so far if it works with this backtrack use:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1094237&highlight=backtrack
If I do a iwconfig it doesn't show up... Normally detected with my netbook version of backtrack5. So far installation of module drivers fails for me. Writing error. Everything else works ok so far but would like to have my usb adapter working too.

All the flavours of linux that run along side android use the android kernel. That said the drivers may not be in it.
Please run dmesg after plugging in the wifi adapter to see if linux recognizes the device and loads the proper drivers, if it doesn't it'll take extra work. (recompile a new kernel or possibly make a module for an existing kernel)
Something that I think would be awesome would be someone making a driver for the built-in wireless with the extra functionality needed for monitor mode and injection.
Hello guys, been a while. Been busy lately. Anyway, the backtrack I'm talking about does NOT run alongside android. It boots on its own. I'm working out some bugs now. In a few days expect a new (read: working) bodhi linux and a new backtrack release.
The wow I've seriously wanted backtrack on my tablet forever... I don't carry my net book anymore since I got this tab...
Even if we can't use embedded Wifi. I I got a alfa awus36n or nh or something lol but it's usb so as long as bt5 can use our usb then it's plug and play driver is loaded onto stock bt5
Hey Apapousek, thanks for all what you've done ^_^ , those distros work perfectly, having trouble with the wifi but it's all good, anyways is Plasma Active 2 possible? I mean are you going to release it any time soon for our Iconia Tabs, it looks really good + it's tablet optimized, I bet it will look really beautiful on our tablets.

I have voluntary partially masked my MAC...
If anyone knows how to do that kernel modification. I tried to "ubuntu"-install the card following 2-3 different website with no success.
How could I use the drivers and add them to the image so it loads the drivers 8187? Few knowledge here but ready to try with few help
Would it be the same method to add softwares in the image so while loading in you already have the software installed?
Some kind of a script ?

As far as I'm concerned, anything is possible if they give you the source. PA2 is opensource, all we need to do is compile it.

Or you could just recompile the kernel, it'd be easier
Yeah I think this will be the thing to do. Will work on it this week and will also try a regular ubuntu chroot setup also to see if it could make a difference.

in his XDA post for his ROM, I find it rather surprising that you should decide to denigrate the ROM developers because *you* did not follow those instructions. ( link - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=522076 )
In the XDA world, whatever you do to your phone is *your* responsibility. Even if you correctly follow the instructions, and end up with a bricked phone, it is still *your* responsibility. I'm not try to be harsh here, but this is a simple fact - if you flash any phone with a ROM from a "non-authorized" source, you are effectively unsupported, with the exception of the goodwill of the people and developers in the community that provided the ROM. Making statements like the one quoted above is one of the fastest ways to see that goodwill dissipate!

Good luck on obtaining help here.
why do i see a flame war coming?
you have three posts and two of them is whining that you screwed up on ROMs that are not for the devices you have....
muahahaha! more money than sense...?
How hard can it be, to use a rom from the correct section (e.g. the Hero forum part for... indeed, Hero roms!).
You should not blame the 'pseudo developers' for your mistakes.
On the other hand I'm going to cut you some slack. Even though you made a terrible mistake, fooked up completely and you are now desperately trying to blame other people for it... I totally feel your pain. Losing two devices like this obviously isn't a nice experience at all. And it's probably going to cost you money on top of that as well, it totally sucks!
Please tell us if HTC fixed your phones for free (just in case that mine gets bricked, too). Wishing you good luck.
BTW with Arch: I love it, but thats the stuff with the not really researching, same on Android and Arch, when you do something without "really" knowing what, you can damage it.
OK, cya anyway and stay with us and Android
Greets.
Well colour me surprised. Nice to see that not everything descends into flaming here..!
Yes. Both have been replaced without a hassle. I told them it was bricked after putting in a foreign card on vacation and getting a spurious OTA (stupid but worked).
The mistake with one fon was definitely my fault and I excuse for the tone. English is not my native language and this sounded way too rude.

Hi
Now that we have noefresh hack and multitouch aside of USB host support, maybe someone can port USB tethering to nook?
This way, we could use a USB 3G modem to have internet on the go with our Nook Simple Touch.
Web browsing in broad daylight in the park! ) working from terrain with webbased applications.... voip calling.... the possibilities are there.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=940470
Above's a link from a similar thread explaining the procedure for a non-3g android tablet.
Voip is quite a stretch (no sound, duh). But the idea is quite good, having 3G access is a must, even though battery time would drop sharply (1 day maybe, like regular tablets?).
I want to buy a NST and no 3g is the only thing blocking me from getting one.i thought of getting a super cheap android phone using wifi tether, but it seems like overhead.
I hope I'm proved wrong, but I've worked with embedded linux devices and USB 3G dongles in the past and they place quite heavy demands on the power supply circuitry. In the case of the Nook Touch I get the feeling the USB host functionality would struggle to handle the peak loads required. If you do experiment, start with a powered USB hub and keep an eye out for odd behaviour when transitioning to battery powered (most commonly: device dropping out as unrecognized, failing to connect despite good reported signal)
Worst scenario a hardware mod will be required to supply needed extra oomph.
I was thinking of integrating the USB dongle's insides into the NST anyway, once it'd work automatically.
Can someone with an NST show output from lsusb -vl from adb?
Why not use your mobile as a router(hotspot)and tether via wifi?

Now you know what I have plugged into my Nook at this very moment.
How does this help?
Here's a graphical shot of the same thing: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24824407#post24824407
So i have a CA-FI 7008000 android powered car stereo, it is a freescale based android 2.2 device with a USB host port dedicated for usb modems. Currently I am attempting to use the Sierra wireless 313u (att momentum 4g ) with it. When plugged in, it powers on and status lights begin blinking indicating it does see a network, but does not connect (light should go solid). Currently it isplugged into the correct port and is in Modem only mode. I have verified the device works on windows and a mac.
I've done a fair amount of hacking in android, but I'm beyond lost with this.
under dmesg in terminal im getting **** like this:
<6>usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using fsl-ehci and address 5
<4>usb 1-1: config 1 has an invalid interface number: 7 but max is 3
<4>usb 1-1: config 1 has no interface number 2
any ideas?
It sounds like either the USB descriptors in the device are a bit flakey or else your Linux is.
You can use usbview.exe under Windows (although it's ancient).

Hi guys,
Just installed ubuntu, wireless keyboard and mouse, MHL... OMG this is awesome
sudo apt-get install aircrack-ng, and it even worked.. hehehe...
Ok so now for the sad part.
airmon-ng start wlan0 works ok and creates mon0
but as you can google around, the BCM4330 card does not support wifi injection.
So two chances here:
1) wait for injection drivers
2) plug in a wifi dongle and compile some drivers for it
what steps must I do to be able to compile drivers on this?
emerge kernel headers and make && make install?
I think someone must already have tried this..
(ps: why does lspci show nothing?)
Cheers!
Phk
Even with PCs, air*-ng is not very portable (in the hardware sense) to arbitrary wireless phy chips.
A couple years ago, when buying NICs for PCs for that type of application, you had to be extremely careful about the exact revision (not just the model number!) of PCI cards - manufacturers had the habit of randomly choosing slightly different phy chips with different version releases of the same NIC cards.
I don't know if the issue is hardware or a lack of API support by the proprietary firmware blobs - it could be either. I'm pretty sure that the N7 uses a proprietary (Broadcom?) downloadable firmware blob to fire up the WiFi phy - the driver is not a "pure open source" driver.
good luck.

About the wifi drivers, has anyone tried to compile external wifi-dongle drivers with success? any caveats?!

Greetings....
I am hoping to get my Asix Usb to Ethernet adapter working with my nook STG. I believe the only remaining requirement is to compile the drivers for it (which are android 2.x compatible according to the driver manufacturer website).
I am rooted and have 'usb host mode' successfully working.
When my adapter is plugged in, it displays as a 'connected device' in my Usb Host information app and shows the details; make/model etc - so its connected successfully.
It works plugnplay with my other droid devices, however in these devices there is an Asix driver folder in /sys/bus/usb/drivers and there is not in my Nook, thus I believe i simply need to compile the drivers which will create the Asix driver folder.
If you have the correct setup and can compile the drivers for me (and potentially other Nook users), i will exchange them for 10GPB or 10 of your currency, via your desired means.
I am slowly trying myself on an ubuntu vm in windows but can only use the pc for short periods due to eye troubles; hence trying to use a Nook as my sole computer.
INFO:
Device: Nook STG firmware 1.21 - kernel source file link = images.barnesandnoble.com/PResources/download/Nook/source-code/nook2_1-2.tgz

Any other info needed i will provide

Just a quick comment:
Host mode on the Nook currently uses a lot of power.
Something like >100mA in comparison to a usual 8 mA or so.
It's not been tracked down yet.
I can get you better figures for this later.
Presumably this is for some fixed install using hard-wired power?

No I'm actually just using it as it is; no hardware mods.
I have not used usb host enough to know the drain speed but while plugged in to a live ethernet yesterday, it drained seemingly quick.
This isn't a preventative issue though; my need to access the web on the nook via ethernet (no wifi dizziness) is urgent.
If i had to recharge every 10 mins e.g, this would be extremely hindering but still necessary.
Hard wiring may be desirable (maybe not if it's permanent), i haven't read any posts on it thus far.
I do have a powered hub etc if applicable, i dont know if it can charge as well as hosting from the usb.
Sam
Yes, you can USB host and charge.
I'd recommend a back-powering hub.
That way, if you want to throw a USB keyboard on it too, you can.
See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22956658&postcount=103
Great, i'll give it a try
