N800/N810 USB hacks: TV and Ethernet

tip came into my Email from Harriv (Thanks!) showing me this thread on InternetTabletTalk. User sgoerg got DVB-H television to work on his N800! It's a fantastic post and an even more interesting thread. In this particular post, he explains what is needed. I was unable to reach Stefan before publishing this, but I hope to do a more in-depth feature on it soon. The photo above is his.

In case you missed the software/hardware you need to get USB Host functionality working on your N800 or N810, check this post.


A reader requested I test out a USB to Ethernet adapter on the tablet. I did as requested, but was unable to get the network stack to recognize it. The screenshot below shows more information.


My guess is that it would take a lot of manual configuration even if the kernel or modules supported the USB to Ethernet device directly. That particular USB Ethernet adapter is my favorite as it has worked on every machine and operating system I've tested it on to date. In fact, I used it to bypass some strange firewall issues in Mac OS on a Parallels virtual machine by simply having the virtual machine take over the USB Ethernet adapter.

ALFA-­AWUS036H & ALFA-­AWUS050NH INSTALLING/UPDATING DRIVERS RTL8187, r8187, RT2800usb on UBUNTU

NOTE: For surfing Internet with ALFA-AWUS050NH on Ubuntu Jaunty with rt2870sta driver, you must use the Kernel "2.6.28-11-generic #42-Ubuntu", without change or updates the drivers modules. NOTE: The tutorial is not related to Ubuntu karmic. Driver RTL8187/Stacks-­mac80211 (ref. ALFA-­AWUS036h) ­- These drivers, for surfing Internet, are more stable than r8187, and fully compatible with Network-Manager 0.7 installed by default on Ubuntu 9.04. Network-Manager 0.7 installed by default on Ubuntu 9.04. ­- Supports all encryption without problems. (OPEN, WEP and WPA/WPA2) ­- With Compat-Wireless, the "injection" working, but for support “Fragmentation attack” (opt. -5) you need to install one patch. - The RX sensitivity and packets injection is less, related to drivers r8187. Driver r8187/Stacks-ieee80211 (ref. ALFA-AWUS036h) - This driver is recommended for use with the Suite of Aircrack-ng, but not particularly suitable for Internet connections, as less stable and disc...

Packetforge-ng

The purpose of packetforge-ng is to create encrypted packets that can subsequently be used for injection. You may create various types of packets such as arp requests, UDP, ICMP and custom packets. The most common use is to create ARP requests for subsequent injection. To create an encrypted packet, you must have a PRGA (pseudo random genration algorithm) file. This is used to encrypt the packet you create. This is typically obtained from aireplay-ng chopchop or fragmentation attacks.
