I just use the data cable that come with freerunner and a USB gender changer. This way I have minimum number of extra cables with me :-) I'd love to be able to fit USB devices inside the case but I have not looked at how to reroute USB easily inside the device. -Timo ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

I'm looking for a converter between the small FR port and the large dongle port.

I have been using E169 dongle quite a lot with freerunner. Since I did
some udev setup [1] the hassle is minimal: I just plug the dongle to
freerunner, click menu to set usb host mode and it'll automatically
connect to network.
If there's some way to automatically detect a usb device then I could
have freerunner automatically switch to host mode and avoid the need
to click anything to and have complete "plug and play" experience.
