Yes. I will be starting a thread on this shortly. Please provide make,model, and chipset of your dongle.

Nice to hear that! Because it can be the easest way to convert Verizon Xoom to EU Xoom
I have two modems:
Huawei E1750 - usb dongle
Option GTM378 - internal mpci modem that is detected by xoom.
Booth are visible on lsusb, and booth are using usb_wwan.ko and option.ko
So if you need tester say a word

nice to hear from BRD. i really hope this alot because i am using wifi version.
i was running usb_modeswitch to switch the modem to zero cd on the xoom. and
mount all the ttyusb0 ,1, 2 but i couldn't dial(tried pppd call). sorry i am new to this kind of thing so maybe i am missing just a little things.
hope BRD will clear all out.

all my Modem
Huawei EC1260-2 (EVDO rev A)
haier ce610
zte AC682.

i hope one of them can be used with xoom.

Huawie E160e 3g dongle

Don't know about chipset but pagehas drivers and other info

The dongle I have does not require any special drivers. It uses Ethernet over USB via RNDIS or CDC-ENCM. A previous Tiamat HC rom supported this and you and Solarnz helped me with a script to configure the connection/gateway. It would be great if I could get this to work on the EOS roms.

I posted this request previously in the wingray EOS thread. I am only reposting to consolidate the request into this thread.

Thanks BRD!

I have to double check, but the rndis over USB may break android gadget drivers. And that is a massive epic fail. If you can, post up that script to help me refresh my memory. In fact, I may write a helper app for all this 3g/ethernet dongle business.

Here is the post with the script information. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22346822&postcount=2987

That would suck if RNDIS is not possible since it worked on HC. It was pretty nice being able to use my 4G dongle with my WiFi Xoom but ICS is so much nicer. Keep me posted and I am willing to try anything out.

When you and Solarnz were helping me out, one of you had me run some commands in a terminal window which showed that the OS was seeing the device. Unfortuneately I do not remember what those commands were to see if ICS sees it as well.

[edit]

On second thought, from the output of the script it looks like the Xoom sees the ethernet connection, eth0, as the Xoom is provided an IP address.

Ya the problem is the rndis support. That's why you get that error on the last line. Ill cook a kernel in a bit with the needed additions.

Ok HuckFinn you lucked out. We got rndis but only as a module. Baked in it breaks all sorts of stuff. I tested by using USB tether from my evo3d to the xoom and it works. The only issue is the "internet not fully registered with android" issue. However, I'm pretty sure I know what to do. Look for a new thread from me regarding modules, drivers, and hardware.

Also, if some of the mentioned dongles need drivers, ill see if I can cook them. I'm pretty sure most use either rndis or the option USB_wwan stack.

Thanks BRD, I will look for the new thread.

I'm sure you guys enjoy doing this for the sheer challenge, but the fact that you help so many without asking for much if anything in return is simply awesome.

BRD, would you be so kind to post a link to your new thread once you start it? I've been searching for it daily and I think everyone following this thread would appreciate it.

Thanks!
