USB to Ethernet Adapter

[Shuank]

Hello!

I've found this thread :

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1274656

And i can't find anything like it for the Sony Tablet S.

There's any way to install those drivers in the Sony S and make that work?

Has anyone tried to use an USB to Ethernet Adapter with the Sony S?, i've a male microUSB to Female USB and several USB to Ethernet adapters from several brands, and i can't make it work with the Sony Tablet S.

When i connect them, it says : "Unsupported USB Device".

Any help is highly appreciated, i tried to post in the developers forum (I'm a Software Developer), but it didn't let me since i don't have enough posts.

Thanks !

To my knowledge, the Sony does not support the USB to Ethernet adapter solution, but I can't be certain of this. Without opening it up, I couldn't say for sure whether the hardware is present to attach a wired Ethernet connection. With Sony's history, that seems unlikely. The USB port would need to be connected to the network module in just the right way to support one of those adapters and then you could try drivers, but I don't think they'd work either

I tried it

It does not work. My USB to ethernet adapter works with my Linux laptop but not with Sony tablet S.

I ordered adaptor from dealextreme (win 7 compatible, chip AX88772BLF)
Someone on this forum succesfuly tested it with asus TF101
But on ICS error "Unsupported USB Device".

Now our table is rooted.
Any way to use it? Some .ko mudule?

Strange because in the build.prop, Eth0 network interface is enabled which means it should work.

No app for such thing but you can have a look at the details of the device
Remember, even if it says 'Unsupported USB Device' doesn't mean it does not work, i got some app which tests USB headsets ("Unsupported" USB Device for Sony Tablet S) and i still get audio from the microphone i spock in into the speakers in the USB headphones.

Strange because i have some different network interfaces then you and no eth0 what so ever even if its in the build.prop

Properties in Build.prop:

wifi.interface=wlan0
ro.ethernet.interface=eth0
ro.ethernet.autoEnable=yes

EDIT: Try typing 'ifconfig eth0' with the device connected to the adapter which is connected to an wireless router, tell me what you get after that, after doing that try using 'ifconfig eth0 192.168.11.14 netmask 255.255.255.0 up'
EDIT1: I found out that you may need to be rooted D:
EDIT3: Bingo!, try using 'netcfg eth0 up' with the adapter connected
EDIT4: Read EDIT1.

Results: I checked the commands with my rooted android phone and it seems it works with root, so far there is an exploit from Bin4ry (Can take almost or if not 2 days just to try to get it working depending on your method.) and the root exploit works with the latest version
