Connect to internet through USB Windows Mobile device

Hello i have found a way to contourn the problem

But i don't know how we make that.... Ideas?

I am doing a tutorial here : http://www.blogeee.net/forum/viewtopic. ... 082#p72082 because i can't post it on aspireoneuser it show me a 404 error :|

 

Solved.

To many problem in linpus. Installed Ubuntu 8.04.1. No issue.

Thanks all

 

I would be interested in seeing this working with Limpus as well... I really have no interest in Umbutu.


Thanks,

Scott

 

I tried to recompile the kernel to have enable rndis devices but it failed I had no sound and network manager take longtime to appear on the desktop :/ No solutions for me... The DKMS solution does'nt work at all.... So Ubuntu or nothing But i'm not a linux geek

 

I spent most of the day today trying to get my Sprint ppc6700 to connect as a usb modem with Linpus- something I've done with all my other laptops (Kubuntu, Ubuntu, Mepis, Debian) but found that the lack of the ipaq module left me stymied.

BUT, thanks to this forum I was pointed in the direction of WMWiFiRouter, which is actually cooler (no wires and the phone stays on my belt) and works like a charm! Start up WMWiFiRouter on my phone, run a quick script to switch to ad-hoc & connect, and surf. And then run another script to end ad-hoc, turn off & on the wireless switch on the AA1 and it's back to normal- no muss no fuss.

Here are my scripts if anyone's interested:

adhoc.sh

Code:

#!/bin/sh
/etc/rc.d/init.d/NetworkManager stop
ifconfig ath0 down
wlanconfig ath0 destroy
wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode ad-hoc
iwconfig ath0 channel auto
iwconfig ath0 essid ppc6700
ifconfig ath0 up
dhclient ath0

# change "ppc6700" in the above to match your SSID in WMWiFiRouter.

adhoc-stop.sh

Code:

#!/bin/sh
ifconfig ath0 down
wlanconfig ath0 destroy
wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode managed
ifconfig ath0 up
/etc/rc.d/init.d/NetworkManager start

Many, many thanks to all those who contributed to this thread (and this one)!

 

I still am *very* interested in seeing this solved, and I don't have a WIFI phone, so that is not an option.

I am close with the usb-rndis-lite stuff, and I am sure a Linux person could figure it out...

Scott

 

Install Ubuntu? It was my solution lol

But now i live without 3G on linpus... That's all. The Wifi solution doesnt work on my Qtek s200, i don't know why, there is no connection between linpus and my phone...

 

i got the compile to continue further - if you run the following you'll fix the fixdep permission issue

Code:

cd /usr/src/linux*
chmod -Rvv 755 *

run the above as root (by using sudo or su to login as root)

i now get

Code:

[root@localhost usb-rndis-lite]# make
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.23.9lw/build SUBDIRS=/home/user/usb-rndis-lite modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.23.9'

i got it to compile and it works just gotta get my AAO to get dns info, proof of this working is below

Code:

dmesg output:

usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 4
usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
usbcore: registered new interface driver cdc_ether

ifconfig picks this up as soon as ics is active on my phone (HTC TyTn II) - acers network manager also shows a wired connection coming up at the same time

Code:

          inet addr:192.168.0.47  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

ok now for how i did it

yes i had to rebuild my kernel. but i used the standard settings mostly with minor edits, i am going to upload the kernel source as it stands at the moment shortly and post a link, then you will just have to run the following commands from within the usb-rndis-lite folder

Code:

make
sudo ./clean.sh
sudo make install

ok kernel is up at http://www.aa1blog.net/kernel.tbz2

 

Hi Steve,

Firstly, thanks for taking the time to help us out. Having downloaded your custom source and extracting it to /usr/src/, i run your commands to a tee inside usb-rndis-lite, but get the following error on the install:

Do you have any ideas please - I'm so agonizingly close!!!

 

make sure you have the automake autoconf make gcc kernel-headers and kernel-devel installed i beleive it is, if you have feel free to pm me and ill help out, - ill post back with my installed packages shortly from my aao

EDIT: http://www.dmpwap.net/yumlist.txt thats the full list of all the installed packages on my AAO at the moment, id concentrate on the make/gcc/kernel packages - also if you can run

Code:

find / | grep sbin/depmod

as root - it should find /sbin/depmod as a line


EDIT 2 : i forgot to mention i have tested this properly now and it works PERFECTLY for internet access - that is all that can be done at the moment though nothing more,

 

dj steve - any chance you can give us dummies (new linux users) a step by step guide on exactly what to do and where to find it. i would be really greatful as this will be a great benefit to me as all i want is internet access on my htc 3300, and all future viewers of this forum. much appreciated for any help with this

 

once ive had conffirmation from some people tthat it works i shall create a guide

 

ok ta much antispated and appreciated

 

right since i cant post the howto here (kicks me out with a 404 page not found error) ive made a basic webpage with the details

links http://www.aa1blog.net

 

Great thank you so much dj_steve all up and running only problem insight was the internetsharing.cab which my phone spat out and i had to get a new one from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321393 couldnt find one anywhere else that worked. everything else was smooth sailing ,I am posting this using my phones internet, cant thank you enough

 

not a problem, am glad my linux skils arnt totally useless

 

Thanks It work for me

I will update my post on my Blog for how to WM6 internet sharing working

Thanks a lot!

I have an other issue : Bad sound quality on my 5.1.... On Ubuntu Sound quality is better than Linpus :/ So i had reinstalled Ubuntu :shock:

 

check your sound drivers are updated, seems acer/linpus uses years old modules for everything

 

Another thanks here to dj_steve, this solution worked great!
