If your if is rooted with ics on it it will support keyboard/mouse/flash drive.. and other things.. good luck
It's been a while since I've been on xda. I don't know the latest news, but are the otg cables now working for the kf? If so, what works? Can I hook up a keyboard or a Bluetooth usb?
USB otg works. No Bluetooth otg. You can use a keyboard or mouse without a hub if they are not USB 2.0. If you want to use multiple devices or USB 2.0 devices then you need a powered hub. Mice, keyboards, some flash drives, and Xbox 360 controllers are working right now.

Great! Thanks. What do I need to install for that too work. I'm in the process of choosing a ROM but I was going to wait until that reply.
USB otg works on any ROM based on hashcode's 3.x kernel. Most ROMs will mention whether or not they use hashcode's kernel in their OP.

Just wondering, is there any app or Rom that let's me host a hotspot even if I don't have 3g or wifi connection? I have heard that you can do this on the S3, so can we do it on the Fire? Does it even have the necessary hardware?

You want to use your kindle fire as a personal hotspot?
The S3 can share its Internet from its data connection.
The fire had no data connection (absent WiFi)
This not possible if I understand you correctly (which I had trouble understanding what your asking)

Wi-Fi is not absent, cellular connection such as 4g is absent. You might be able to create an ad hoc network between the fire and another device but it would be pretty pointless except for sharing GPS location from phone to kf. The kf has no network capabilities other than Wi-Fi.

That is not what saying absent WiFi means
Saying absent WiFi does not mean WiFi is absent. Two different phrases in the English language with absolutely opposite meanings
In this context it means aside from wifi

I have never heard of such an odd use for the word but I apologize for the misunderstanding.

Where did you pick up this really peculiar definition for the word "absent"??

Sounds like he wants to set up a mesh network.

Removed because this argument is rediculous and because of thepooch's post below. You are simply wrong and I refuse to continue a conversation about the English language with you.
Haha guys stick to the subject which I think is pretty much moot. As far as I know the kindle is not capable of generating it's own hotspot.

I see your studying engineering...you have never heard someone say "absent the existence of X variable, Y variable will not function"?

See that one I can handle, as it uses the word with its correct definition I.e. to be missing. I have just not been able to find a definition of the word that in any way resembles "aside from".
This post has indeed gotten way off topic lol

.-. I intended to say that the s3 is capable of hosting a wireless hotspot without 4g, 3g or wifi. So it's a wifi hotspot that doesn't provide Internet connection. A local connection.

I have been able to connect the kf to a cell phone that has no cellular service just to transmit GPS data for navigation software but never been able to get the kf set up as an open connection even using the same software.

I just tried on twa_priv's ROM to setup a hotspot with Wireless Tether (root required), and it did not work. So I don't think that you can setup a hotspot on the KF
I searched the forums, but couldn't find a definitive answer.
Is it possible to use Bluetooth dongles on any of the CM 10/10.1 roms? If it's possible, do I need any specific apps/drivers?
So far I have tested many roms and kernels and none of them will work until a driver is made for Bluetooth. And I doubt think anyone is working on. This at the time.

Anybody know if it's possible to hook up a stock unrooted KF HDX 8.9 to a bluetooth GPS receiver?
I found an app that offers the software portion of a connection... But I am not sure if the BT supports such a connection?

I know this is a old post but I thought I would post my findings. I don't think it will work without root. I had trouble at first using it on my HDX until I flashed Nexus HDX rom. Then I was able to use Bluetooth GPS app to connect to my garmin bluetooth receiver and everything seemed to work. This is after I enabled mock location in development option. In the stock HDX rom I was able to get it working with a sql editor, changing a value but google maps wouldn't recognize my receiver until I changed to Nexus Rom. However I tried mapquest and other 3rd party apps and they seemed to work on the stock rom.

Thanks for the information, very interesting... currently playing with the Sangria update so may have to wait a while until Root is available again!
at least there is a native Maps application now!
