Hi all.<div><br></div><div>I've taken delivery of a Nexus 7 tablet and am very happy with it (questions welcomed).</div><div><br></div><div>One thing that I was hoping to do, when travelling with it, was to have some method of using wired Ethernet with it (typically, when staying in a hotel room that has a wired Ethernet drop but poor or no in-room wifi, this has happened a few times).</div>
<div><br></div><div>Plan A is to use the USB "on the go" spec to attach an Ethernet-to-USB connector.</div><div>Plan B is to get a <a href="http://www.ebay.ca/itm/160801487354">cheap wifi router</a>, which is more expensive and much bulkier.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I've taken possession of item A, a <a href="http://www.ebay.ca/itm/120946886349#ht_2815wt_1165">$3 thing from eBay</a>, cheap enough that it didn't work I would toss it.</div><div><br></div><div>
When I plug it in and run `lsusb` on the Nexus 7, the hardware is seen but there's no driver. I get</div><div><div><font face="'courier new', monospace">Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0fe6:9700</font></div><div><br></div>
<div>When I plug the same device into Ubuntu, it works fine and from `lsusb` I get</div><div><font face="'courier new', monospace">Bus 002 Device 011: ID 0fe6:9700 Kontron (Industrial Computer Source / ICS Advent) DM9601 Fast Ethernet Adapter</font></div>
<div><br></div><div>I've been able to find <a href="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1641274">Linux drivers for this</a> and in fact it's been made to work with the <a href="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1418591">Motorola Xoom</a> and <a href="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705759">Asus Transformer</a>.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Could some kind person here help me turn this driver into something usable on the stock N7 kernel?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks!</div><div><br></div>-- <br><div style="text-align:center"><div style="text-align:left">
