Has maemo-pc-connectivity been substituted by USB Networking applet (in control panel)?

Hi all,

using chinook I remember I had an icon in Extra menu, called "Maemo PC
Connectivity". I used it to setup USB networking to be able to connect
from Eclipse/Pluthon. Now I can only find "USB Networking" in Control
Panel, but I don't like it.

It's very bugged compared with the old "Maemo PC Connectivity". For
example if I connect the cable then I disconnect it, it says me that
USB is busy and I've to disconnect the cable (and it's already
disconnected!), or if I don't connect any cable and click on "Setup
USB Networking" I cannot use anymore the cable, I've to reboot the
device.

Any idea? Thanks for your support.

Hi,

that is not the package I was looking for :(
I'm looking for the application that was installed in Extra menu. The
one described here:
http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/maemo-pc-connectivity/

Hi,

maemo-pc-connectivity is only a meta-package that install a series of
connectivity-related packages.
The old package you are looking for is masmo-sdk-tablet, which has
been replaced for maemo-control* .
It's not working very well, though.
It's good because it sets up all the parameters in your
/etc/network/interfaces. But the switch to usb networking mode is not
reliable.

Speaking of USB networking...

Anyone have any improvements to suggest for the wiki page on the
subject? https://wiki.maemo.org/USB_networking

Cheers,
Dave.

Re: Has maemo-pc-connectivity been substituted by USB Networking applet (in control panel)? [In reply to]

Hi Dave.

Is the same information for N800 valid for N810?

Should these [1] instructions about configuration and test of USB networking
be added/merged to this maemo wiki page? These instructions consider that
the user has installed the meta-package maemo-pc-connectivity on device.

[1] - http://maemo.org/development/documentation/pc_connectivity/

The goal is to make the wiki page (1) useful, (2) up-to-date, and (3)
easily readable.

(1) implies accurate, and simple. (2) implies that we favour information
for N800 and N810 tablets, particularly OS2008 and OS2008.1. Information
for older OSes or for the 770, should be (IMHO) a footnote at lest, or a
reference to an "archived" page which doesn't show up when browsing the
wiki normally. And (3) implies removing cruft, attempting to have a
consistent writing style, and in general carving the rock to get to the
diamond inside.

Cheers,
Dave.
