[Q] Ethernet adapter

[mrcrowley70]

LG stock doesn't recognize ethernet adapter (Apple stuff). My Galaxy Nexus recognize it and work great.
Is it necessary a particular kernel or custom rom to have ethernet adapter recognized ???
Do you if some already have this feature ???

 

[mrcrowley70]

Nobody knows if it's because of kernel or maybe the rom ???

I'm assuming the adapter is connected via USB-OTG cable. Driver support would need to be compiled into the kernel. Do you have G Pad v500 or v510 GPE?

If you have root, download and install Busybox and Terminal Emulator. Then open Terminal Emulator and run:

su
dmesg > /sdcard/dmesg_output.txt

Then you can upload that txt file to this thread or just send it to me via PM.

It's a V500.

I do the txt file with otg and ethernet adapter connected.

Thank u. Bye

Then ethernet adapter should work with Cyanogenmod 11, because I use it on my Galaxy Nexus with CM11.
Even if I use it on my GN also with stock rom.
Isn't it ?

Your tablet correctly created eth0 device (dmesg log).
You need to use the following command on terminal emulator:

su
dhcpcd eth0

Now the eth0 must work...

I get the adress but it doesn't connect.

The browser says that I am offline, and in the option there isn't any ethernet connection.

Anyone can help me ??

Are you able to ping your local network? how about external networks?

ping 192.168.1.1

ping google.com

ping 8.8.8.8

 

[mrcrowley70]

Now it works ! But I don't know how. Something strange.
I did upgrade to 4.4.2. Thank u id10terror for the zip file with fota wipe.
But it still didn't work until I plug ethernet adapter to my Galaxy Nexus, that it goes well with it.
Then I unplug it and plug again to Lg-v500. Soon it recognizes and blu light turn on.
And now it goes well to the net.
I will make a try disconnecting and connecting again from another cable.

 

[mrcrowley70]

It seems to work very well now.
I think because of the upgrade to 4.4.2.
Don't you agree ?

 

[mrcrowley70]

I don't really understand why ethernet connection speed is so slow.
I got 2 Mbps, but with WiFi I can get up to 4.5 Mbps !!!

 

[mrcrowley70]

ping 192.168.1.1

ping google.com

ping 8.8.8.8

Now I am on Cyanogenmod 12.1 and I can't connect with ethernet anymore.
The tablet still correctly created eth0 device (dmesg log).
It does ping 192.168.1.1 (my router) , and 8.8.8.8 as well, even if I don't know what it is.
It doesn't ping google.com or www.google.com, saying host unknown.

What else I can do ???
