You need to figure out what causes it. Perhaps it's network manager
misconfiguration on your PC? Perhaps you have more than one default
route? Perhaps your USB cable is just broken? I've seen all of these.

Thanks Timo

I will ask openhackable1 guys on freenode.

How would I stop the timeout on my device that breaks the usb
connection with the pc. Its extremely frustrating having to tap
the screen every few minutes to keep it alive - whoops there it
goes again ...

You should be able to backport it to lenny if you really want to since
it's just a C program. Can you ask the openhackable1 folks or do you
have experience on debian packaging yourself?

I should have said, Timo.

lenny with openhackable1.

Just installed some binaries from anothger dist and have errors.
Considering now squeeze binaries.

What is the best thing to do in order to install omhacks? Upgrade to 
squeeze?

What distribution are you using?

omhacks is in debian main (squeeze, wheezy and sid).

I cannot find omhacks package in main andcannot (for some reason) add 
universe repository for armel.

Could someone point to alocation where I could download the omhacks 
package manually?

(Usb networking sometimes provides internet access of the neo,
sometimes not. Why is it so unpredictable.)

The /sys paths change with kernel versions. I personally don't think it
is a good idea for users to try to directly access them. If you install
the "omhacks" package you can control usb power without having to
remember direct /sys paths.

Neo as usb host and providing power to attached device

2011-07-17 Thread Eric Smith
Hi 

Using:
Linux hackable1 2.6.29-rc3-hackable1 #2 PREEMPT Tue Sep 15 13:07:51 CEST 2009 
armv4tl GNU/Linux

I am following instructions at 
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Neo1973_USB_host

So far this command seems to work:
root@hackable1:~# echo host > /sys/devices/platform/s3c-ohci/usb_mode

In order to provide power to the attached device wiki article
advises the following command:
echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/neo1973-pm-host.0/hostmode

But I cannot see any file called hostmode in /sys/devices/platform
and FWIW;
root@hackable1:~# find  /sys/devices/platform/|egrep 'mode|host'
/sys/devices/platform/s3c-ohci/usb_host:usb_host1
/sys/devices/platform/s3c-ohci/usb_mode
/sys/devices/platform/s3c2440-sdi/mmc_host:mmc1

Thanks for advice on how to set the neo to provide power over usb.
