    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?

    Oops, didn't find it myself. Thanks.

    Unfortunately it doesn't work. AcerOne can't find my WMWifiRouter network.

    Back to rndis driver compilation, I think it will be only way to go forward. Does anyone knows how to this in AcerOne?

    Thanks

    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.

    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.

    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

    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]

    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?
