Hello,
First time tablet user, just picked up a transformer prime and am leaving for Afghanistan in two weeks, now wifi is sporadically available where i will be, buti prefer a hardline and came across this , would this work with the prime running android 4.0 if i had the keyboard dock for the usb 2.0 port for the usb/ethernet adaptor. I just need a reliable connection to skype and stay in touch with my wife and friends.
Plugable USB 2.0 10/100 Ethernet Adapter (ASIX AX88772 Chipset)
(Sorry cant post link, but this is the one i found.^^)
Or if this doesnt work and are other options can you guys point me in the right direction?
Sorry im not that tech savy.
Thanks in advance guys !
Sounds like this might work if you root the device and don't upgrade to Ice Cream Sandwich.

Hi there! My transformer Prime is updated to the latest ICS firmware and I just tested the Apple USB Ethernet adapter for the the MacBook Airs on my TP and it works! I just tried it a few minutes ago because I wanted to see what would happen and i couldn't believe that it connected without any problems.
So if you want a sure thing that works get the Apple USB Ethernet adapter. Good luck by the way in Afghanistan.

Wow, thats fantastic, ill see if i can find it, as i said im not to tech savvy, and not familiar with apple products, but in order for me to get this done i first have to land a key board dock as well to utilize this usb ethernet adapter!
If you don't mind can you post a link to it incase i dont find it!
Thanks a ton!
HP USB Ethernet Adapter
I've also tested this at work and have used an HP usb ethernet adapter.
Model: XZ613AA
you can find them all over the web.
this adapter worked like a charm for me.
fantastic so we have two seperate products then that can give us this option, fantastic, thanks a ton!
OP the one you posted works great (plug & play ) with TFP and ICS.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...GU1_1?ie=UTF8&m=A3HIHADV23VGU1&n=&s=&v=glance
just wondering guys, are all your devices rooted? or will it plug and play even when the prime is not rooted? =D
I have tried my Wii's USB ethernet (funny I baught it for my Wii, but I hardly use it for that.. its been surprisingly useful for a lot of other devices) this works on ICS too. I am rooted, but I did not load any special drivers nor other ethernet ui mods. One thing I did notice, is there is no ui option (that I could find) to modify the device's network configuration (so I'm stuck with dhcp) perhaps I need a UI mod for this.
if you get a console program like "connectbot" or android terminal you can setup static ip's to the nic by using an ifconfig command.
it works like most flavors of linux.
ifconfig eth0
or
ifconfig wlan0
ifconfig -a should show all adapters
this is an example of a set static address and netmask.
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
you can also disable an interface with ifconfig {interfacename} down
exp : ifconfig wlan0 down
I'd recommend making sure your wlan device is deactivated before attempting to configure the USB ethernet adapter.
OH and as a note, if the commands don't work it may require root.. but i'm not sure most of the time when i'm in a terminal app my first thing I do is a SU command.
anyhow hope this info is useful

oh yeah and on another note I use "proxydroid" at work to setup my corporate proxy so I can use my tablet at work via our webproxy
so for those of you looking to show off at the workplace I've found it easy to carry the usb Ethernet adapter and have the proxy droid handy.
its a very useful piece of gear when stuck in meetings

Hey, I'm trying to find information on using a SGS2 or another handset on ethernet. I have seen a few threads relating:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1224660
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1274656
and a few more, but all relating to tablets. The reason I need ethernet is because I plan to use one of these as a camera and image processor on a UAV. We are planning to use a 2.4GHz antenna to communicate with our ground station, so it would simplify everything if I could just implement the communication through ethernet.
My question is if all these usb-rj45 dongles with linux drivers will work on this or a similar handset. I'm fine with doing terminal tweaks to get it to work, but I'd like to know if anyone has gotten ethernet to work on a handset.
Thanks,
Santiago
I'm turning blue trying to figure out how to setup my flyer with an mhl-cable to the tv while connecting my wireless dongle at the same time so that I can play games on the tv.
I bought a usb-hub, and was eventually capable of connecting the xbox dongle in order to play games on the flyer. However, I can't figure out how to get the picture to the tv instead, so that I can use it as a regular console. It's either only the tv, or only the dongle (via a usb-hub connected to a usb otg-cable) that could be plugged in. Has anyone else been able to get both working, and if so, how?
I'm running stock HC, I've got a nokia ca-157 cable, an mhl-adapter and a usb-hub.
Not sure I understand what you are trying to do, but you cannot operate USB OTG and MHL video at the same time. If you need wireless you should use a router, not the USB connection.

He's trying to use an Xbox controller(corded) for games on his flyer, and output the display of those games to the TV...which as you said isn't possible.
Ok, now I understand. Correct, not physically possible.
Sorry if I wasn't clear enough.
I did refer to wireless controllers that connects to an xbox-usb-dongle that is needed, since MS didn't choose to use regular Bluetooth.
I know it would be easier with ps3- or wii-controllers since they only need regular bluetooth. Though, they're very expensive, so I'd prefer trying to get my wireless xbox controllers work. But if it's not possible to use wireless xbox controllers and tv-out simultaneously, I guess I'll have to go shopping.
How about using this Bluetooth controller for $39.99.

Here are some other options

Ok i just saw this thread and sry for hijack but are you saying i can bluetooth one of my PS3 controlers to my flyer instead of using the on screen controls? If so plz link me to some docs.

Please read the links posted above your message.
DigitalMD,
They're not available in my country, unfortunately. Thanks for your help, anyway!
casperi,
No, I was probably wrong about that one as well. Most HTC devices apparently won't work with sixaxis. Really annoying since I bought the flyer with the intention of using it as a video game console. I knew several others were capable of it, and HTC are known for good quality, so it seemed reasonable it would work. Hope Google's tablet will work better.
I'm going to a part of Japan where there's more wired internet than wireless.
Can I connect my Galaxy S3 straight to wired internet? I have an OTG USB cable with which the S3 works fine with hubs, mice, keyboards and storage. I have a Hawking USB to wired ethernet (RJ45) adapter. When I plug it all together the adapter lights up green but nothing happens. Is this a software/driver issue and is there an app which overcomes it?
I'm NOT interested in lugging a netbook with me, or any stuff about tethering, or expensive 3G. I will take my Netgear wireless travel router WGR101 "hotspot" if I have to.
Mainly I just want to connect the S3 to an ethernet cable.
Thank you.
Mod
There might be a mod out there, i know the transformer tablets support this, but it will be intresting to find out...
My tablet connects to wired internet first time using its OTG connector and the Hawking USB/RJ45 adapter. It's a 7" Eken MB702C using Allwinner Tech Boxchip ARM Cortex™-A8 1.2GHz and running Android 2.3.4. If it can do it, why can't an S3? Is it hardware or drivers and rom? Thanks.
Have you tried using the usb tethering option?
It's purely drivers. USB-OTG has backward-compatibility to standard USB2.0 so it can use any USB-device it can provide enough juice for.
However the kernel has to recognize the USB device and load/activate the corresponding drivers. Then the uerland scripts configuring the (DHCP) IP-address and other settings have to kick in.
Of course ur right d4fseeker, but now what drivers to install? My kernel is 3.0.15 and I really want the eth0 (ethernet interface from cable) in backtrack 5 on my phone... so what can I do??? I have a usb OTG connector that works perfectly with mouses and joysticks but that isnt working with any of my two ethernet to usb (the ethernet to usb shows a light but on the s3 it doesnt show anything because the kernel doesnt recognize it) How to enable the recognition of the ethernet by the kernel ? WHAT DRIVERS?! Thank you.
PS: Does anyone know how to enable monitor mode on samsung galaxy s3 ive seen this post :
bcmon.blogspot.com.au/2012/09/working-monitor-mode-on-nexus-one.html?m=1
but it didnt work for s3 ...

you could use the command-line dmesg in Backtrack to show which module is loaded
it's hard to find and explain it on a forum but if you've got skype et al we could try it live

Are you answering to the first or to the second question ? Im sorry but im lost my main vocation is cracking, not programming...

Take a look at the SiyahKernel (www.gokhanmoral.com). It allows you to add additional drivers to the kernel, if it has not already.
the problem is finding the proper driver and build it to specs.
Of course, thanks for the link

I want to do it on my S3, I am from India & want to connect my office Ethernet Cable to it to access my office site.
Can we do it thru skype, will you pls help me in this regard
my Kernel version is : 3.0.31 - 488302
I'm keen to see this progress too - but i wouldnt know where to start with compiling it into the kernel or inserting the mods. The drivers are present in the tablet builds - for example I have it working on the nexus 7 - so porting shouldnt be too hard. Just hope that one of the kernel dev teams has the time and interest to look at this......

Yeah
You can buy an adapter on eBay, it is about the size of a pack of cards / cigarette pack. Plug the ethernet cable from the hotel into the unit and it then makes the adapter a wireless access point. I bought one about a year ago for exactly a similar reason - traveling to hotels where there is only wireless in the lobby, not the rooms. Unit cost be £15 / $22 - the link in my eBay account has now expired, but search away on eBay.

Here is a similar device - even cheaper than I paid - on eBay UK.

Hello
Just got my new Nexus Player and after long search I can't find the right answer.
I want to connect the player to my Ethernet in my house for better connection and if possible to add an external HDD.
Here is my list of questions and I hope that I've got the the right place:
1. I want to have the maximum network speed and I have Giga cables in my walls . Is there a standards in the adapter that I need to buy to have the maximum speed? Or all the adapters have the same speed limit?
2. Is there a way to connect both Ethernet and USB HDD long side? Is there a magic box that have USB and also an Ethernet connection? If there is I would like to get an advise what is the best one to buy.
If someone have an experience what the items I need and have an advice what is the best to buy - I will love to get some links.
Many thanks in advance

You'll need an OTG cable, a USB 2.0 hub (a powered one if you're going to hook up non-powered hdd), and then just about anything you want will work through the hub. For expanded storage you'll need to root and install stickmount. If you want to install large games then you may need foldermount as well.
Sorry for posting the same issue for the 5th and many thanks for helping me - now it's time for shopping

In Amazon type in "ethernet USB hub", many results will come up. Here is a link to the first one. I don't know for sure if it is compatible or not though.
Anker® 3-Port USB 3.0 HUB with 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet Converter (3 USB 3.0 Ports, A RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet Port, Support Windows XP, Vista, Win7/8 (32/64 bit), Mac OS 10.6 and above, Linux) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KGV7I9Y/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_-ifUub140WKQG
The problem is that even if the adapter supports full Ethernet speed the USB port on the nexus player will not.
So, you should get the benefit of a stable connection... But it will never be beyond USB 2.0 speeds.
I am connected to 2.5ghz wireless N and I haven't had a problem with 1080p Netflix, no stutters on YouTube and modern combat 4 and 5 both play with no lag.

Can anyone tell me why my USB flash drive doesn't always mount with my Nexus player? I've got a powered Plugable USB hub, with my pny 32gb fat32 format USB drive.
It keeps switching names and sometimes doesn't show up at all until after I rerun stickmount.
This happens after waking from sleep as well. I'm obviously rooted and unlocked what am I missing?
Also how do I activate pro on stickmount after I've purchased it. I just get a weird screenshots about the pro version when clicking upgrade....
