Is bt OR usb a better connection if I use the N800 as a wifi modem? What if I just want to use the laptop keyboard to type stuff into xterm or other portions of the N800? Will the no host N800 usb make that impossible through usb? Can it be done easily with bluetooth? Something similar to this subject was discussed over a year ago. Since my laptop has lost her wifi, connecting to the N800 and using the N800 as a modem is very important to me. I am on an extended trip and have Internet access to wifi but not ethernet. I have a lot of work to do in a short time and having my laptop cut off from the Internet is a big problem. The N800 connects easily to the Internet but without my usual big screen, hard disk, and many other advantages of the laptop over the N800; twelve hours a day on the N800 is only a small fraction of the productive of 12 hours a day on the laptop. The N800 modem is an excellent solution. So how do I use it as such?

Yes, that's possible if you are willing to do some hacking. You could first establish the 3G connection normally from the UI and then setup the WLAN network manually: ifconfig wlan0 up iwconfig wlan0 mode Ad-Hoc essid mynetwork After this you need to setup NAT and routing. You can find iwconfig from the wireless-tools debian package. -- Kalle Valo tuomas.kuosmanen at nokia.com Subject: [maemo-developers] WLAN and bluetooth modem on at the same time?

This would make a nice and useful tool if it was made mostly automatic to setup and easy to use. I'd help with the user interface if someone thinks this is a good idea with python for example? //Tuomas
