Just wondering, since my Thinkpad Tablet has that handy USB port, can I plug in a USB ethernet adapter? Would be very handy for configuring network hardware and the like.
Thanks
Try it. I'd be eager to see what you come up with!
Me too.

It might work, but you need the correct USB to RJ45 Ethernet adapter for Android devices.
Funny, I was wondering the same thing yesterday. Love to know outcome.

Hello,
i bought in Germany an Medion Lifetab P9516, its a Lenovo Ideapad K1.
This week we got the update of ICS and so i have ethernet with a d-link usb-ethernet adapter.
The adapter is a DUB-E100 adapter and i get the ip-address dynamicly.
I can see the ip with ifconfig and the route with ip route, but i cant change the ip because the device is not rooted.
Is here anyone who rooted his device with ICS and can give a little advice?
Thanks a lot
Wolfgang
P.S. Please apologies my bad english.

What I use and is really sweet is a Bluetooth to serial adapter. They are a little high in price though compared to a USB Network adapter.
There are multiple companies that make them but this has been my favorite one so far - http://www.g2microsystems.com/products/RN_270
I use it with a free app called blueterm and can config anything with a console/serial cable from my phone or tablet.

Hi,
I was hoping to use a wired ethernet connection to my N7.
I was reading it was possible and I happen to have the cables from before. A micro usb to usb female and then a usb to ethernet adapter. Mine is based on ADM 8515 and it doesn't work.
I haven't rooted or done anything else yet.
I have seen reports that another usb to ethernet adapter works, based on AX88772.
Anyone managed to get this to work? Does it work out of the box with the AX88772? Anyone managed to get it to work with this ADMTek one, or any other chipset?

The smart dock works with HDMI and USB - OTG simultaneously.
Anyone know of a cheaper alternative to use the Galasy S4 as a desktop pc.(HDMI and OTG together)
I need to be able to connect the HDMI to a monitor and simultaneously use the OTG to work with a usb keyboard and usb mouse.
I know that bluetooth keyboards and mouse[mice ?] work with a mhl adapter but i am specifically looking for an option that supports
HDMI out and USB mouse/keyboard.
Any help/links etc to products on the net would be appreciated !!
eg:
nexus device showing such a configuration : (but with bluetooth keyboard and mouse)
Hi,
I have a problem with connecting my Android device (Samsung Galaxy A5 SM-A510F (2016)) via a ethernet adapter and a OTG cable with LAN.
I bought an ethernet adapter and an OTG cable on ebay.
I rooted my Galaxy A5 successfully.
I downloaded the apps "BusyBox" and "Ethernet" (the app "Ethernet" should enable all settings needed to get USB ethernet). This app does not come with any drivers!
I also tried to connect my device using an active USB hub.
However, you obviously need the ethernet driver on the smartphone (which is not yet installed on Galaxy A5).
Does anybody know how I can get this driver?
Or does something else cause the problem?
Are there some better apps for connecting a device to LAN? (for example one which already comes with ethernet drivers)
Thanks for your efforts!
Best regards,
Simon
