Ethernet via USB

[kc1]

Any one know how to get an internet connection working using an ethernet to USB adaptor?

I have one of these:

& an mini-usb adaptor but, plugging it all together doesn't seem to register anything on the raphael - suggestions welcome?


I'm basically trying to get an internet connection in hotel rooms (travel a lot) where the RJ45 is free but wifi is charged (stupid but common).

Unfortunately no drivers

While Windows XP and Vista are 'Plug and Play', meaning they have a driver for practically every hardware peripheral ever devised, WinMo is not - the device you have will do you no good without a WinMo driver.

instead, I would look into getting a small travel router that would provide you WiFi. It's another thing to carry, I know, but will end up being the least problematic and most direct solution.

Thanks I feared as much - is there such thing as a generic driver for WM6 network devices that could work?

The driver that shipped is labelled ADMTek, but googling I didn't find any drivers for pocket PC or WinCE
