It was available from scan.co.uk - 2 years back.
I didn't find it there, but now that I looked for such a thing I
think I
found a similar one. Thanks! Linux is not being mentioned, but at
least it
says there are no drivers needed. I wonder how it would be possible
that two
system use the system at the same time.
As the cable is cheap, I think I'll just get one and try it.
Do you have a link for this, please?
I'm very unclear how this could be achieved without drivers.
The Linux-based Openmoko Freerunner mobile phone can use its USB port
as either mass-storage or networking (appearing to the host as a USB
ethernet adaptor) but I believe this is facilitated by the hardware,
and different kernel modules need to be loaded for each function.
