How to use a USB Ethernet adapter on the N810
Remember that tasty tidbit we shared about USB-On-The-Go support for the Nokia N810? Looks like it’s coming in plenty handy… if you know how to use it. Frequent jkOTR commenter and Gear Diary contributor team member, Joel points out that you can use this feature to connect a Nokia 810 to wired Ethernet via USB. It’s pretty technical, but explains all the steps involved, right down to every last daunting command in a terminal window. Then again, if you own a Nokia Internet Tablet, you’re likely not completely in the dark with Linux, so have at it!

Correction….team member! :D I am officially a Gear Diary team member. Anyway, I thought you might like this and I was right! :D
I am seriously going to get a N810 in a couple months. I am going to try and set it up with a big external hard disk.
Correction noted and my apologies. :) Thanks for the tip! I wish this worked with the N800 / OS2008 so I could try…
Perfect timing as my new N810 arrived today!
Will try this out as I don’t have wifi access at work, just ethernet….
