Hi All,
Got a Tablet that runs Android (Kernel 2.6.36.3 on ARM Cortex A9). Was
pleasantly surprised to see that I can apply Linux knowledge for
Android development.
Working on these two hobby projects:
1. Enabling Bluetooth DUN
2. Enabling 3G USB sticks
Primarily, this would involve
1. Modifying Kernel modules (E.g. usb_modswitch) to work on ARM and to
work without glibc.
2. Shell scripts for loading modules + setting up networking (E.g.
ppp) via userland tools.
On Android, we have:
1. Code that already works on other Linux systems
2. Easy to use dev environment and build/debug tools
3. Linux userland tools (via BusyBox)
Please let me know if you want to collaborate or help. All work would
be maintianed as open source on some repository like Github /
Sourceforge / Google Code.
Regards,
Shamit

A friend of mine has an LCD 3G Adam t sell in Pune. Expressions of interest
welcome.

I have done some of the work you need.

This is something I too am looking forward to, and all help is welcome.

Thanks for the pointer. Will try to get it to work with Tablet and USB
modem that I have.
Regarding first project (Bluetooth DUN), aim is similar. Aim is to
access net via cell phone and share that with Tablet using Bluetooth.

Update:
After compiling few modules (usb_wwan , option, tun) finally
usb_modeswitch is working and honeycomb successfully initialized the
USB stick as a GSM modem on /dev/ttyUSB0.
Now next step is to write ppp chat script. Does anyone has one for Vodafone ?

Hi Shamit,
That's great news! You can look at the thread on draisberghof.de that I have
linked on my blog. You might need to experiment with the script. I have a
Reliance modem and not Vodafone.
I have a request. Can you please register on tabletroms and write about your
experience and steps? You can post under the Acer Iconia category and my
thread under Adam as well.

Thanks for the pointers that you provided for usb_modeswitch. Can you
post your script for reliance. Reason is, Android does not have some
tools like wvdial so scripts might be slightly different.

Sure, will compile a step-by-step for building and loading these
Kernel modules once I get the whole thing to work.

I have my mobile connected over bluetooth for dialling Hutch (Vodafone).
See if this stanza helps you:
[Dialer Hutch]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATE1Q0
# SetVolume = 0
Modem = /dev/rfcomm0
Baud = 9000000
FlowControl = Hardware (CRTSCTS)
Dial Command = ATDT
Stupid Mode = 1
Password = anything
Username = anything
Phone = *99***1#
The "anything"s are literal.

In Shamit's case, Modem would be /dev/gsmmodem or /dev/ttyUSB0
The number to dial would be #777 if it is an EVDO modem. He would also need
a conf script.

In my mobile with Vodafone connect, I recall I had trouble dialling
*99***1# as it would show no results. Then I used the default of
Ubuntu's network manager (a shorter number which I cannot recall) and
that worked. Even Vodafone's tech support had no explanation for this.
