Purpose

Get the external USB 3G HSDPA GPRS Modem to work with the Nokia N800 (or newer).

Steps

  • Enable USB host mode.
  • get a powered USB hub.
  • connect your Nokia N8x0 to the USB hub's uplink.
  • connect your USB Modem to one of the USB hub's normal ports.
  • compile a SCSI generic Linux kernel module (or download a binary module from CDROM Kernel Modules ).
  • load the SCSI generic Linux kernel module: "insmod sg.ko".

"Option" HSDPA Modem

  • compile the "HSO" Option Modem kernel module (Greg Kroah-Hartman is in the process of integrating the kernel module into the mainline kernel, or check HSO in the meantime) for the Nokia N800.
  • compile the "rezero" Option mode switch application (Rezero).
  • run the Option mode switch application: "./rezero /dev/sg0".
  • load the "HSO" kernel module: "insmod hso.ko".
  • edit the "connect.sh" script (from HSO) to actually do the changes in the routing table.
  • run the "connect.sh" script: "./connect.sh up".
  • enjoy.
