[Q] USB Ethernet Compatibility? - Acer Iconia A700 and A510

My workplace doesn't allow wifi, so I need to use Ethernet. My trusty Cisco USB300M that I was using on my Transformer Prime doesn't seem to work. Maybe because of the included microusb adapter?
Anyone try getting Ethernet to work on this tablet? Thanks!

Everything else I've thrown at the OTG adapter seems to work, so maybe it's driver? Too bad.
Guess I'm going to have to look at the Transformer Infinity.

Try this
or the apple one. It worked for most tablets.

from bobjgear's web page
"Samsung and ACER Brand manufacturers have not enabled Android's wired Ethernet support in their Android releases, so these Brand Tablets can not used with any wired internet adapter. "
Although since the a510 and a700 are pretty new, things might of changed. be worth a try if someone had one kicking around, but since your cisco didnt work, i doubt it.

I've been using Foxfi / PDA net combo at my non-wifi work. Not sure if that would work for you.
I've only had flash drives, hard drives, and a mouse and keyboard. Good luck on Ethernet.

Xbox 360 controller

i was wonderning if xbox 360 pad can be used with our sensation for gaming.
i'm saying this because ps3 pad can be used for gaming and all it takes a driver which enables it.
i'm not a dev but i would love it if someting like this can be done.
please dev can you give some insight about this thread.

What way does the 360 controller connect to the Xbox wirelessly? If it's Bluetooth, there *MIGHT* be a slight chance. But if it's not Bluetooth, no way to get it working.

it only says its use wireless at 1.4 ghz protocol to connect
othere than that i could not find anything
Ok this is what I do know about your question. I do think the X-Box 360 does use Bluetooth for the wireless controllers, but do not hold me to it as I have not researched it in depth. If it is Bluetooth then you should be able to connect it via Bluetooth if your device supports the service the controller uses to communicate. But this is where the problem lies at, I do not think the services or supported in Gingerbread. Now if the Sensation suppers USB host functionality then you probably can use a USB hub to connect your Sensation and the X-Box 360 controller to and use it that way.
Now in ICS I do know that game pads are supported. You can read the article on Engadget to read more about that.

Hi,
Unfortunately for you the 360 wireless controller works via radio rather than bluetooth (unlike the PS3 and the Wii)

one of many reasons why I can not wait for ICS!!!
p.s. I do not believe Xbox controllers run on Blutooth... PS3 controller yes.

Thanks for correcting me, as I said I had not ever really looked into it. I knew the PS3 controller worked via Bluetooth, so it was a incorrect assumtion on my part.
Also thanks to someone I consider a friend malybru.
Even so if you dont have a stock build of android like CM7, or MIUI, Bluetooth wont work with the ps3 or wii controllers... HTC needs to fix that in their next update. i love sense and i love gaming it sucks i cant have both
360 = rf
ps3 = bt
Yeah, you will never get a 360 controller working without a hardware mod of some sort.
Wii is BT as well.
i just want to know how does cm7 or miui allow the users to connect to ps3 pad
if they use different bluetooth app or driver files than i think it will be good for us to just move them in our phone and we are good to go.
if any 1 can tell me the reason these two rom can connect to ps3 pad. and what is it that allows them
U need a radio reciever in your phone at 2.4ghz to use xbox controller. Our phones dont. So no go. End of story
I know there are usb adapters for the xbox 360 controller , would it be possible to use a usb to micro usb cable and use USB OTG to get it to communicate, then creat some sort of driver to get it to work? Sorry if its impossible, just throwing science at the wall here to see what sticks.
LOL we work around science.

I have a Sitecom LN-029 USB-LAN adapter (for several years already; I believe now they have a LN-030) and it works out of the box on my TF101 with ICS 9.2.1.17.
I wonder why people all over the internet (also on this forum) say an USB-LAN will not work. I tried it and now I am using it out of the box.
I have an Apple USB->Ethernet adapter and it too works flawlessly with ICS... Expensive, but it just works...

I'm using an old Linksys USB 2.0 adapter and it works great! I have been running it for a couple of month (pre and post-ICS) and never experienced an issue!

USB Ethernet Adapter

I remember reading about some people using USB Ethernet adapters (for wired LAN connection) with their Primes and Prime Docks. Has anyone tested them with the Infinity and the Infinity Dock?
I would like to find a really good one that hopefully will work now, and continue to work in the future with jellybean when it is pushed out.
Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks!
I just realized the Infinity needs to be rooted for this to work so I'm guessing it will be a while before we have confirmation on this...
Not necessarily, since the Infinity has root access already (DebugFS method, either by hand or automated). You're possibly referring to the as of yet still locked bootloader, but that doesn't make a difference in this respect, I think.
I do not have any ethernet adapters nor have I ever used one, but someone more knowledgeable on the subject may chime in.
It's funny you ask. Just tested that today with the same Apple USB->Ethernet adapter that I used on the TF101 - it works fine.
You do not need to be rooted- it's built into ICS now - the ethernet icon will appear on the taskbar and in the setup screens when you connect the USB->Ethernet adapter.

Thanks for the info! Can you please post a link to the Apple USB to Ethernet adapter, or at least the exact brand/model/part number so I can find it via Google?
With access to the kernel source it should be possible to compile additional modules to support more adapters. I'll check the default configuration and see what's supported by default. Or you could check the Prime/TF300 forums. Whatever works on that one most likely works with the TF700 as well.

Here is a link to the Apple USB->Ethernet adapter that I have tested and have confirmed to work:
http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0351619
It's not cheap @ $30 (it's Apple, what did you expect!), but it works and is built well.
I do have another cheaper USB->Ethernet adapter as well (from DealExtreme or something) - let me see if I can find it to test it as well. I'll report back.
EDIT: Ok, found the $7.99 USB->Ethernet adapter from DealExtreme and tested it - it works perfectly as well (and it *alot* cheaper). Only problem is that DealExremes service sucks! It took months to get to me (which is why I bought the Apple adapter at a local store in the meantime)....
Hell - if you want, hit me up and I'll sell you the DealExtreme adapter (I have no use for it). It would be whatever I paid for it (still in packaging except when I tested it) - $7.99 + shipping (I'll have to look it up to see what I paid for shipping).
Here's a link to it regardless:

I can confirm that the standard, ASUS USB Kit for Eee Pad Transformer TF101, TF101G, TF201 & TF300, works with at least one USB to Ethernet adapter. Just got both adapters in from amazon and they work perfectly, just plug and play. The Ethernet adapter is the, Belkin F4U047-RS USB 2.0 Ethernet Adapter 10/100MBPS. Speeds pretty much doubled compared to wifi. Since I'm a new member they won't let me post the Speedtest.net results.
Just took a chance and ordered this unit:
http://www.amazon.com/Ethernet-Adapter-Android-Tablets-Windows/dp/B007RTACDM/
Based on reviews, it's worked with other multiple Android devices including a TF300. And the packaging specifically mentions compatibility with Asus docks. I'll update when it arrives.
That adapter should work fine since it's based on the ASIX AX88772 chipset which has the driver included in the kernel.
In fact, that's the same chipset used in the adapter from DealExtreme/DX, so the items are almost identical, although it looks like the DX one has a LED indicator while this one doesn't.
Once in a while, the kernel developers actually list a few of the adapters which should work with a specific driver instead of only mentioning the chipset which the drivers supports.
I took a look at the drivers built in to the stock TF700 kernel and checked the source and found that all of these adapters should be supported:
* Aten UC210T
* ASIX AX88172
* Billionton Systems, USB2AR
* Buffalo LUA-U2-KTX
* Corega FEther USB2-TX
* D-Link DUB-E100
* Hawking UF200
* Linksys USB200M
* Netgear FA120
* Sitecom LN-029
* Intellinet USB 2.0 Ethernet
* ST Lab USB 2.0 Ethernet
* TrendNet TU2-ET100
* Dell Wireless 5530 HSPA
* Ericsson PipeRider (all variants)
* Ericsson Mobile Broadband Module (all variants)
* Motorola (DM100 and SB4100)
* Broadcom Cable Modem (reference design)
* Toshiba (PCX1100U and F35

I seriously doubt that you will get the ethernet port working if it doesn't already. There is no easy way to "install the drivers" - it would require a custom kernel, etc... If you need UBS->Ethernet, I'd suggest buying a known-working USB->ethernet adapter
The Apple USB->Ethernet adapter works fine (is expensive, but can probably be found in a retail store).

Do a dmesg and see if you can figure out the chipset used (or dig through the drivers included), maybe we can compile a kernel module for it if the chipset is supported by Linux (kernel v2.6.39.4).

Gamepad for Infinity

Hi,
I am searching a gamepad (like a xbox 360 or ps3 Controller) for my Infinity...someone know where I can buy something like this?
Wired Xbox 360 (with keyboard dock or asus usb adapter) and bluetooth PS3 controllers work great on Android. I'd avoid anything else.

Xbox controller doesn't use Bluetooth so it can't connect to the Infinity wirelessly.

If you have an wireless XBox Controller and the PC XBox USB Connecter you can use it wireless.
Just plug-in the USB Connector and push the Xbox Symbol on the Controller.
Then after a while it stops Blinking and from that moment you can use it.
I bought an app in the market called "BT Controller" that makes your phone a bluetooth controller. Waiting for my replacement Infinity to arrive to try it out. I would like a sony controller though . Anybody have a spair one they want to get rid of.

PS3 controller works great on practically any android device
I have a PS3 controller and it works great wired. But how do I get it working wirelessly? Most of the time the Infinity does not find it. Once it did appear in the bluetooth settings but it said I had the incorrect PIN. Is there any way to make it work unrooted? Is there any other controller out there that I can buy that would work wirelessly out of the box?

This would be my question. Does ICS have built-in mappings for the PS3 controller? Or do you have to install an app for it?
I did not have to install anything. Just plugged it in the usb port in the dock and it worked. But I can't get it to work wirelessly.

For those of you that connected the PS3 controller via BT, did it find it with the built-in BT drivers or did you have to install an app to find it?
With the TF700, you need the Sixaxis app from the Play store in order to use the Sixaxis controller wirelessly.
It worked without the app on the TF101, but not on the TF700 for whatever reason.

I ordered a sixaxis PS3 controller for my tf700, and it works gloriously when plugged in (handled natively).
I installed sixaxis to use it wirelessly and still have android recognize it as a native controller. The controller will connect, but doesn't seem to work properly.
Has anyone gotten a PS3 controller to connect wirelessly to their TF700 and perform natively?? (important for analog input).
Just got the GameStop bluetooth controller for Android (who knew GameStop would actually be the source for the one and only dedicated Android controller I've ever seen?). Feels a bit cheap, but DOES work natively. However, it basically becomes a keyboard input device, so once it's paired, your on-screen keyboard is disabled. When the gamepad is powered off, the keyboard comes right back. Tried it with N64oid, and once the key mappings were entered properly, it's fantastic with no lag as far as I can tell.
My Logitech Wireless Gamepad F710 also works great when connected to the dock.

Yes, I tried an Arsenal bluetooth PS3 controller, and the Infinity wouldn't even detect it as a bluetooth device. I suppose I could have tried to delve into assigning the address manually, but when there are other options that work without jumping through hoops, I didn't see the point.

Your question got me curious.
I tried to connect the Infinity using the 40 pin adapter to an Onkyo receiver thru it's USB media port.
My Onkyo doesn't like the Infinity. The receiver sees a PC or just about
any other media player with a USB port, not the TF700T however.
Be groovy if it functioned properly.
JB was supposed to have USB Audio Out feature built in. Lets hope Asus does not mess with it.

I have connected the FiioE17 on the Transformer tf700. No luck so far. Maybe they have the hardware capabilities and all they need is the OS update. Let's wait for JB.
So far I understood that GalaxyS3 is the only android capable of doing this. Kind of lame
So far my observation is that anything that connects to the 40 pin connector needs a custom driver to run properly. The default USB we have works but barely just. Hopefully with JB we get expanded compatability. Hopefully.
Im not holding my breath.
Three things needed:
1. Jelly bean with USB audio output
2. Android drivers of the DAC you oun (in my case Arcam rDAC)
3. High end android audio player with optional output modes.
Universal USB DAC
You are theoretically right .
At this moment Samsung Galaxy S3 is capable of offering USB DAC Integration (Here is a link)
There is also a petition for Google to develop and integrate an Universal USB DAC in the Android kernel . Take a look of it here
I believe that this can become a killer functionality in the future. It is a pity that people are using a $600 device to listen to the music using a $4 headphone.
Anyone have any luck so far? I am also trying to use my e17 with my tab. I know a few other devices have roms with usb audio cooked in so hoping it might work for us too.
This looks promising:
