My last pocket Linux device was the fabulous Archos PMA400. This had both client and host USB ports as standard, and the host port could be used to connect to a network via a simple USB Ethernet adapter. This worked well when a wifi network was not available, but a wired router was. The USB Ethernet connection was able to use a wide range of USB Ethernet adapters (e.g. those based on the widely used ASIX ax8817x chipset). I am happily switching the N800 USB port into host mode and back again to client mode, however in host mode it seems to expect to find a file system (using the echo host > /sys/devices/platform/musb_hdrc/mode command). Is there an alternative command or script which might poke the N800 into looking for a network connection? As you can probably tell, I am very much a Linux noob, so although I have grasped some Linux concepts fairly well, others are still waiting for that learning curve to catch up.
