was just wondering if anyone has used a usb ethernet card so we can use the prime on the lan??
have developers made anything for this to work? it would be the last thing that would make this little beast a full netbook imo.

with a card like this? maybe?
thanks
I don't know myself other than it must be possible. As on that popular splashtop THD video that floating about, they were having to access their PC from the Prime via ethernet cable as wifi performance there was poor.
Would be handy so I could steam HD media at other end of house.
I'd be interested to know if my SMC USB - Ethernet adaptor would work. I heard rumours that the Apple one was plug and play in ICS, but I haven't got one to test sadly..
I thought there was a driver pack in the dev forum...

With ICS I have hooked up a HP usb to ethernet adapter and use it at work. I use droidproxy to get past my works proxy server.
I didn't install any additional modules it just works right from the dock.
there is another thread talking about this too.
but the gist of it is a few of us have gotten various usb models to work.
if you install a terminal program you can run an ifconfig eth0 to see the configuration after the adapter is plugged in.
there is no native software to view the ip address from a gui.
also you can setup a static address by running an ifconfig eth0 <ip address> <netmask>
[sidenote ifconfig wlan0 will show your wireless configuration] it is highly recommended you disconnect your wireless lan before attempting to connect via the wired ethernet.
hope this info is helpful.

this is the link to the other topic. [mainly just covers a few models people have tested]
and this is the model I used

Hi All,
I just started digging into if a USB Ethernet dongle would be supported on the asus transformer. Doing a fair bit of reading, really there are three things that are necessary for this to work:
1) a chipset in the usb dongle that is supported by the linux kernel
2) some method of setting the IP (DHCP/Static/etc)
3) ensuring something sets the route to default out the usb dongle.
For #1, some USB ethernet dongles are supported. I plugged in the dongle I have for my Nintendo Wii and I get an eth0 interface. I dont know the chipset nor do I know how extensive the support is but at least one is recognized.
For #2 So, If you go into settings, you will immediately notice there is only configuration for wifi, not ethernet. I had a zt-180 tablet that had built in wifi and ethernet, and it had a seperate settings section for ethernt settings. DHCP also does not kick in automatically as it does on the Motorola Xoom, so to get an ip on eth0, I expect you will need to have root and either engage dchpcd (or whatever daemon android 3.2 uses for dhcp) or setup a static ip using the ifconfig command.
For #3, I dont have my transformer rooted yet (havent had a need yet) so I am not sure if this will happen automatically. In most linux distributions, if it is the only IP enabled device, it will automatically become the default route. So this will probably be fine.
Anybody else play with this?

From the other threads I have read, other android devices have had USB ethernet working, but they didn't go into details, as it should 'just work'. My end goal is to allow my phone to access the internet at work using a wired connection to my windows workstation running internet connection sharing.
I have a working Monoprice 100mbit USB adapter (id = 6150) using the well known linux compatible asix AX88772 chip
I have tried connecting the adapter directly, and with a powered USB hub. Same result. USB thumbdrive with hub works, so the cables all work.
I get the following dmesg pastebin.com/mdttaDmq which looks hopeful, as it detects the ASIX chipset no problem.
I ran adb netcfg while adapter connected, but there is nothing new there... pastebin.com/7nN5MY08 (shouldn't an eth0 or usb0 show up?)
I have a Galaxy S3 i747M stock 4.0.4 ICS rooted, any help would be greatly appreciated

Huawei E3131 modem is working as a router which has an IP address 192.168.1.1 and as the DHCP server, it gives an IP automatically to the PC and connects to 3G internet without installing any drivers or any software.
How to use this 3G modem on an Android tablet or phone?
Depending on the android version of your devices, i'm pretty sure this 3g adapter should work properly with an OTG cable.
I own a Samsung galaxy s plus. With the stock android which was 2.3.5 i think i couldn't do much if anything with an OTG cable.
When i installed a modded 4.2 rom everything worked smooth. I tried a mouse, keyboard and a cheap cheap Joypad. Worked as a charm.
Any android ICS and above can do miracles with those cables!
There is a video in the xda developers youtube channel about on-the-go cables. look it up
Yeah I know about the OTG cables since I already resell them. But it didn't work with the mentioned modem and an Android tablet which has 4.0.4 version on it.
This 3G modem is a lot different from others; because nearly all of the 3G USB stick modems require a USB interface driver to be managed through. But this stick acts like a router; thus it has its own IP (192.168.1.1) and as soon as its plugged into a USB port, it assigns an IP to the computer (192.168.1.2) and connects to 3G in a matter of seconds; no driver needed, no software installed. It's like connecting an ethernet cable to PC.
That's why I also tried configuring USB-ethernet on the tablet, but it didn't work either.
Bought a bluetooth mouse a year or so ago and had no luck on my original Tab S. Having got the new S4 i thought surely it would work after all the progress with android, but no such luck it still connects starts fine then the stuttering lag is back. Also though i had hit the jackpot when i downloaded a couple of good games only to find out that a PS4 controller does pretty much the same thing. Dont mind forking out for some new ones just wondered if anyone knows of ones that actually work so i dont end up paying for two more items that dont work. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
It could be the age of your mouse / blue tooth implementation. I have a Microsoft Arc Touch Bluetooth mouse that works with my laptop but has never been able to connect properly to Android devices -- either my original Tab S2, my S7 Edge phone, or my Tab S4 -- it looks in settings like it connects, but never kicks out of "searching" mode on the mouse. The Android device thinks it is connected, but it is not.
I've had no issues on the Tab S4 with USB mice, Logitech RF mice (MX Anywhere) and Logitech Bluetooth mice (MX Anywhere 2). I've also had no problems with wired USB keyboards or Logitech RF keyboards. I'm currently using a Logitech bluetooth K380 keyboard. I had an out-of-the-box problem with key mapping of symbols being mixed up, but was able to fix it in keyboard settings. There were multiple "physical keyboards" in settings, and two of them were "English (UK)". When I changed them all to "English (US)" the mapping issues went away.
For Logitech RF mice and keyboards, you need to pair the rf usb dongle to the mouse / keyboard devices using Logitech software on a pc before attaching the rf dongle to the Tab S4.
So my current combo of an MX Anywhere 2 bt mouse and K380 bt keyboard is awesome.
My only "complaint" is that the mouse is a generation old and doesn't support Logitech's new cross platform system that let's you copy/paste from one device to another. Sounds like an awesome feature to copy from your laptop and paste into the tablet. I hate replacing devices that work, but this may be a good feature to have.
Good luck,
Joe

As far as game controllers go, do a search and you'll find a thread I started on them. I'm using an 8bitdo Bluetooth controller that works very well. A Google search should get you info on original PS4 controllers and whether they should work with Android. I searched for "PS4 controller android" and the first hit at Android Central said they were flaky / buggy and not recommended.
Hi guys,
i hope some of you can help me.
I want to connect an OBDII cable to my phone. Its a ENET Cable, so I need an OTG/Ethernet Adapter. I have ordered the Rankie USB 3.0 Netzwerkadapter in black. I cant post links, but if you put this in the search in amazon its the first.
But the S7 Edge doesnt support ethernet, or? I cant find ethernet settings. So I flashed the kali nethunter kernel and opened the terminal emulator. With lsusb my ethernet adapter doesnt appear. Can someone help me? I think if the ethernet adapter appear, I can connect it to my car.
edit: Now I used an other third otg micro-usb to usb adapter and now my ethernet adapter appears, its a RTL8153 from Realtek. But how can I use it? I have no ethernet settings.
thanks in advance
Does nobody know an ethernet app or the shell command to get the ethernet working?
Ok, I dont think that here aren't users who know a solution. What I have done yet:
I got the adapter working, but only in terminal emulator. When I type lsusb it recognizes my adapter. Its a realtek RTL8153.
Then I connect my network cable and type: dhclient eth0
for test: ping -n 3 <address>
I get answers, e.g. from google. So the connection built up. But when I go to the browser or google play, it says no connection? I think, the phone and apps depends on 4G or wlan0. How can I force eth0? I need the decisive command.
For the static ip I would use: ifconfig eth0 <ip> netmask 255.255.255.0 gw <gw_ip>
