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.
