Hi.
Does USB200M work with C3200 without an USB hub? If no, is there any Ethernet USB dongles which does not require an USB hub? Thanks |

Hi, Ethernet dongles? Yes, I have a generic one, and works great. I don't know about USB200M. Wifi dongles requires powered usb hub. |

If it's the one in the first pic below, the driver has to be backported from 2.6 kernel.
http://www.oesf.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=24903 The backside shows: Model No. USB200M ver 2.1 As far as I know, there are not any usb ethernet dongles that require a powered hub. (this means the "wired" type of ethernet dongle). USB WiFi dongles require a powered hub because these dongles draw more power than the Zaurus USB 1.1 supplies. I have the Belkin - F5D5050 USB 1.1 10/100 Ethernet Adapter that works out of the box in pdaxii13. It required some tweaking to make it work in Cacko. I got it at RadioShack, it's shown in second pic.

i've just tried my asus wl167g wifi dongle and it is recognized (kernel 2.6.24) !
however it apparently needs the ra2500 driver : http://home.bb-zone.com/index.php/Ralink_RT2500_Linux_Howto i'll try to compile it EDITED: i cannot compile it because i need 2.6.24-yonggun kernel sources .... |

Thanks, it gives me hope. But not all of them can work without a hub:( I have got Dlink DUB-E100, it works with powered hub only.
