Has anyone tried this?

I thing we need some kind of driver to get Acer One to recognize my HTC TyTN II connected through USB, as nothing happens when I do that...

Thanks

Would it be easier to use bluetooth - you can pick up bluetooth USB dongles the size of your thumbnail for literally pennies now! I'd love to get this working with the 3 Skype Phone!!!

Just use WMWifiRouter, and put your One into AD-HOC mode, works with my TyTn II.

Thanks, I will try it, but an USB connection seems a better deal...

I will let you know the results.

UPDATE: No working... :( No computer I have can detect the WiFi Lan created by WMWiFiRouter. The One doesn't either, but I was unable to change it to Ad-Hoc mode. How do I do this?
 
My Windows Vista Machine can see the WMWifiRouter, and so can my One when I put it in AdHoc mode.

I think my HTC is somewhat troubled... I mean, my WiFi was never stable, and I think it is not working has it should.

For that reason, my question remains... Any help from anybody?
 
i've tried to install usb-rndis-lite that is compatible also with fedora.. but without any good result, cos when I try to compile the library i get a weird error.. Then after some search I figured out that the kernel modules source code is missing. So, does anyone know where to get the kernel of this linpus lite? Now I must use windows to browse the web with my WM6 mobile phone. btw I'm quite new to linux.

Well, good news, I finally made it. I had to hard reset my HTC, installed a new WMWifiRouter trial version (1.09) and finally I was able to connect it.

I had to figure out how to do it, no specific instructions anywhere, but I end up understanding that first the WMWifiRouter must be working and discoverable (took some time to do it). before running the script in http://www.aspireoneuser.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=125. I also had to discover in which channel WMWifiRouter is broadcasting (in my case it is channel 11, but I was misled in thinking it was in channel 1) .

I will update that thread to understand if can automatize as much as possible of the starting ad-hoc script, and then to understand if we can have a "stop-adhoc" one, that doesn't hang AcerOne.

These are good news. Thanks for your help.
 
What i tried :

inspired by :
http://forums.opensuse.org/archives/sf- ... g-usb.html

IO have installed the module to build dkms
Code: 
sudo yum install dkms

then i had install the module
http://fedora.lowlatency.de/review/sync ... noarch.rpm

and i have create
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-rndis0

Code: 
    BOOTPROTO='dhcp'
    BROADCAST=''
    ETHTOOL_OPTIONS=''
    IPADDR=''
    MTU='1460'
    MRU='1500'
    NAME=''
    PEERDNS=no
    NETMASK=''
    NETWORK=''
    REMOTE_IPADDR=''
    STARTMODE='hotplug'
    USERCONTROL='no'
    _nm_name='static-0'
But it don't work. seem it doesn't recognize the rndis interface.... :/ Will i have to install XP on my machine for that :( I really don't like XP but on Ubuntu, there is problem on the two card reader... And linpus is so sweet :/
 
OK, i've been tinkering with this for a while now and the way i see it is as follows:

The "ipaq" module is required for the Linpus OS to interface with the Windows Mobile device (even if your device isn't an Ipaq - mine is an Orange M3100, aka HTC Tytn). Then wvdial can be used to dial and connect.

All pretty straightforward, and i've gotten this working in Ubuntu (will write a tutorial on request) but the ipaq driver isn't present in Linpus and i'm stuck on how to implement it.
 
I try these easy steps in my desktop PC and Work
Code: 
http://linuxmint.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=13389&p=83653&hilit=mobile#p83653
i have a Sprint Touch (don´t have WiFi), and work perfect with my linux mint desktop pc..

can anyone tell me how can i use these steps in the aspire one?
p.d. linux mint is a ubuntu based distribution
 
You have to do :
Code: 
yum install subversion build-essential
then
Code: 
svn co [url]http://synce.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/synce/trunk/usb-rndis-lite[/url]
cd usb-rndis-lite/
make
sudo ./clean.sh
sudo make install

But i have an error
[user@localhost ~]$ cd usb-rndis-lite/
[user@localhost usb-rndis-lite]$ make
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.23.9lw/build SUBDIRS=/home/user/usb-rndis-lite modules
make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.23.9lw/build: No such file or directory. Arrêt.
make: *** [default] Erreur 2
[user@localhost usb-rndis-lite]$
[user@localhost usb-rndis-lite]$ cd /lib/modules/2.6.23.9lw/build
bash: cd: /lib/modules/2.6.23.9lw/build:

Can anybody help me? It is the only thing doesn't working on my aspire one and i don't want to install ubuntu only ofr that.

Thanks!
 
You have to put the kernel source in the right place if you already downloaded it.

sudo unzip -d /usr/src -x linux-2.6.23.9lw.zip
 
Hi macles,

Thanks, but now i get a permission denied error on one of the files?
Code: 
home/user/usb-rndis-lite/usbnet.c
/bin/sh: scripts/basic/fixdep: Permission denied
make[2]: *** [/home/user/usb-rndis-lite/usbnet.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [_module_/home/user/usb-rndis-lite] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.23.9'
make: *** [default] Error 2
 
Maybe installing the usb-rndis-lite like in the synce page...
Code: 
$ sudo yum install dkms
$ sudo rpm -Uhv synce-usb-rndis-lite-dkms-0.11-1.fc8.noarch.rpm
OR
$ rpm -Uhv [url]http://fedora.lowlatency.de/review/synce-dkms/synce-usb-rndis-lite-dkms-0.11-1.fc8.noarch.rpm[/url]
 
Code: 
 make
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.23.9lw/build SUBDIRS=/home/user/usb-rndis-lite modules

Same error here.... I really don't understand why linux on netbook is so crapy :/ My eeepc it was the same problems with Xandros! Linpus is a little better but not perfect.... I'had installed Kubuntu on the aspire one : No problem for the rndis! But... Problem with the sd card reader (card working only on boot :/), so came back to linpus.

Sorry for my bad english i'm from west indies...

Why can't we compile that rndis driver?
