Has anyone tried to use Google's "Ethernet Adapter for Chromecast" (combined power and OTG Ethernet adapter, 2 meters of cable, Realtek R8152 chipset)?

plugging in the Chromecast ethernet/power combo into the Nexus 5 will charge, but is not recognized as an ethernet network.

Sure the Kernel has to support USB Host Mode + External Power at the same time, like Timur's USB host kernel and others do.
But maybe a driver is missing?
the Chromecast kernel includes only one driver (asix.ko / USB_NET_AX8817X), but that supports a large family of ASIX parts (AX88xxx), and is very common today. if you search for "USB AX88179" in Amazon/Newegg/Google/wherever, you should be able to locate something cheap.

This seems not to be true. The original 'Ethernet adapter for Chromecast' by Google uses the Realtek R8152 chipset says this raspberry user:

Which N7'13 kernel has the drivers for the Realtek R8152 included? How can I find out?

The Realtek RTL8152BN-CG 10/100M Ethernet controller combines an IEEE 802.3u compliant Media Access Controller (MAC), USB bus controller, and embedded memory. A linear regulator (LDO) is incorporated for reduced BOM cost.

So, it seems this has been added to LineageOS on a device-by-device basis: https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/android_kernel_oneplus_msm8996/+/253772
Double-checking the MAC address owner confirms this is indeed a Realtek chip (not ASIX): https://aruljohn.com/mac/00E04C

Is there an USB adept out there who would know if this is technically and programmatically possible:
A loopback connection via USB with an external Switch. USB+ and USB- are bridged via an external switch or button. Every 20ms or so, a packet is being sent to the device itself. If the switch is closed, the packet can be received, which fires an event (probably an error because of bouncing), but an event that can nonetheless be handled as an user input.
_________ usb+
| -------------
device | \ button/switch
USB | -------------
--------- usb-
Any idea?
Are there libraries available for eVC++ that expose the USB port as a virtual COM port?
Reason for asking: with external switches and an accessibility software, the devices become accessible for handicapped users. Up until now, legacy RS232 hardware handshake could be used to generate an user input, but these interfaces tend to become extinct with the newer devices.
Thanks for any hint
Phil
You cannot do this without an external hardware. You can buy an USB COM-port adapter, and work with it as with usual COM-port.
Can anybody port this to universal.
USB host driver
http://a-bishop.com/2006/10/16/enabling-usb-host-on-eten-m600g500m500wm5/
It works on Eten m600 via a cradle which i believe provides power..
Can any body port this to Uni.
afaik you need a usb host capable usb chip, which we don't have (i might be wrong). obviously the eten's usb chip does include host capabilities and this driver just provides the interface between this and the operating system.
however i may be talking bull as its been a while since i read up about this, maybe someone else knows for sure?
I have been informed from a source that the chip in Universal is capable to support USB host functionality. But no driver is there, also an external power has to be provided to the connected device.
I'll try this driver on my Universal.
These drivers hang up the universal

Universal has an USB host, it is working and drivers are present in ROM. But it is used only to conenct to its internal GSM module. The USB port we have on the side is a usual USB slave (not even USB OTG).
Has anyone successfully used synCE with the hermes over USB?
I am using Ubuntu Feisty and Hermes with the schaps WM6 rom.
Has anyone done a similar sync? If so, how?
Uff!
Tried, tried, tried ... but no luck.
When I had Windows Mobile 2003 synce was good with W2002. Now I have WM6 and synce goes good with W2003.
I'll wait
Just be patient. Unlike winblows software its open source so it has a bunch of people working on it. The last time I checked they were working on it now. Probably should be ready in the next release. What I wish is that I could find a version of linux to run on the 8525. Familiar doesn't support it yet... :'(

I am pretty new at this and just can't get this thing connected to Ubuntu. On a Cingular 8525 with Black X (RC) ROM.
On Linux I have Gusty and I can see the 8525 in several ways, but I cannot do anything like transfer. Can someone point me in the right direction please?
Using Bluetooth Manager I can see the 8525 when I browse, but I can't connect without error.
Code:
Couldn't display "obex://[00:17:e4:3c:43:39]".
Check if the service is available.
On a USB connection I get:

hi
12v powered usb hub, with pocket pc charge and upto 4 device cabled network (or wifi). using smb network share of any plugged in disks, and having a directory set set asside for a print queue and for windows GDI drivers for printers which may be attatched. maybe a cat5 too. useful as a print file station, also with power cable gen of -12 and 5 for supplying disks.
a power efficient mobile office hub. MediaMobileHub.
any ideas??
very very few htc pdas have usb host functionality so they can only use usb for charging and being sync'd with by an usb host like a pc
ideas for min cost max function
things I need to know.
1. does pocket ICS route both ways as this would mean bluetooth and wifi were not needed as standard as a pocket pc could provide this extra connectivity. along with routing of other connected pockets.
2. how standard are GDI driver files.
3. how standard are disk drive enclosure power connectors.
4. active sync between devices would be good, with selection set being done via a cab download. and date criterian.
5. about usb printer scanner combo devices such as this lexmark. the scan button would scan and save to a fixed directory?
6. DVD writer auto do from directory on blank disk?
well more later,
a master hub yes
sorry for the confusion but the intent is the hub is a bus master.
when plugged as a slave into a pc
the hub when plugged as a slave into a pc would export a network interface with smb shares and pretend to be a pocket pc (with set name). this would also act as a routing gateway to any device ICS. so a dhcp server and nat would be needed within the device. this would be far better than exporting multiple usb devices. and sync up all pocket pcs with the one desktop, while keeping the need for desktop power consumption to a minimum. chains of hubs would present possible device naming problems, and so mac addresses would be the logical choice for the merged virtual power pc.
With the laptop dock, it has 2 USB ports. I've seen video of demonstrators using a mouse with the laptop dock, so there's 1 port used up. I am curious if anyone has seen any type of information on if you can plug a USB Memory stick, or portable USB based hard drive into the USB ports of the Laptop Dock and if it would be usable.
I think it would be awesome if I could plug a 500GB hard drive with all my media and play music/movies/pictures on the Laptop Dock through the phone.

Thank you for the info. This is looking like a more promising device more and more every day!
I wonder if the USB ports will support other devices like a USB serial dongle.

Confirmed. I plugged in a USB drive into the lapdock on a lark, and it detected it and mounted the drive just fine. Based on what the folks in the "Dock without dock" thread are saying, it may actually be possible to plug the Atrix into a USB hub and have it detect USB drives that way too (since they're hooking up keyboards and mice via that mechanism if I'm reading it correctly).
I've noticed that the phone does NOT recognize NTFS formatted drives, only FAT32. I haven't tested exFAT or any linux file systems yet. Just FYI.
Could you try a few Linux filesystems as well? I'm curious to see what this kernel supports.

If you know of a simple way to format them under Windows, I'd be happy to. I can't find a tool that lets me format, only read-only access to mounted drives. I don't have access to a linux box while at work.
