RE: N900 as an internet device
Hi, Date: Mon, 8 Mar 2010 10:35:25 -0700 From: Kevin Kempter ke...@kevinkempterllc.com Subject: N900 as an internet device To: maemo-users@maemo.org Hi all; 2 questions: 1) I've recently seen that there's an app for the palm pre that turns it into w wireless access point. Is there a similar app for the N900 2) Other than a wireless access point app, how do I use my N900 to connect my Linux laptop to the internet? You can use IP forwarding with Maemo PC Connectivity. By default it works with Diablo (N8x0) devices but with N900 you need to recompile Fremantle (N900) kernel to add NAT support for it. http://maemo.org/news/announcements/maemo_pc_connectivity_2nd_edition_final_released/ Documentation is here: http://pc-connectivity.garage.maemo.org/2nd_edition/node6.html There are some known issues with N900 compared to N8x0 devices that are listed here: http://wiki.maemo.org/Eclipse_integration/KnownIssues_final Some of the issues have workarounds but not all.

1) I've recently seen that there's an app for the palm pre that turns it into w wireless access point. Is there a similar app for the N900 Joikuspot. 2) Other than a wireless access point app, how do I use my N900 to connect my Linux laptop to the internet? At least tethering via usb works out of the box with Ubuntu (thanks to networkmanager). Less so with kubuntu/debian.___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Re: N900 as an internet device
Couldn't the N900 share a 3G connection to multiple laptops as an access point though?

Re: N900 as an internet device
JoikuSpot will do exactly what you need then. It's not free but it's pretty cheap: http://www.joikushop.com/index.php?action=productsmode=productDetailsproduct_id=1061 Luke On 3/8/2010 4:39 PM, Kevin Kempter wrote: On Monday 08 March 2010 10:44:55 am James Knott wrote: Kevin Kempter wrote: Hi all; 2 questions: 1) I've recently seen that there's an app for the palm pre that turns it into w wireless access point.

I don't know whether you'd like to have and point-and-click-solution of are prepared to reconfigure the device via the command line. In the latter case, I guess it could work to connect the N900 and all notebooks in WIFI adhoc mode, configure the notebook's default routes and nameserver settings appropriately and setup NAT on the N900. Some scripting could automate this process. However, if JoikuSpot works as advertised, that's probably the simpler solution.
