Would be nice if they actually showed the connector from the business 
end, so we can see what it's like.

I presume it's what we call a USB Type A Female to Female Gender 
Changer, like this one:
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Specialized_USB_cables#Ready-made_type_A_jack_to_a_type_A_jack_adapter_.28gender_changer.29

Yes, that should allow you to connect a random USB device that is 
typically attached to a computer, to the end of the USB cable that came 
with your FreeRunner.

With this adapter your USB pendrive would be powered by the FreeRunner, 
which is what you want.

You are talking about a powered USB hub. Yes, they exist, but generally 
they only power the _device_ USB ports, i.e. only downstream devices. A 
hub like this must not pump power into the upstream host, because the 
host is normally providing power itself.

The fact that the Neo can be powered by USB when in host mode is 
non-standard, and thus it's unlikely that you'll find an off-the-shelf 
cable or hub that will do this. You will most likely have to wire 
something up yourself.

See 
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/USB_host#Providing_power_to_run_and_charge_the_Neo_while_in_host_mode
for more details

Looks entirely consistent to me. With power management host mode disabled the 
FR can accept charge, but the 15k pulldowns in the FR that would normally be 
connected to D+ and D- in host mode are also disconnected. For host mode to 
operate correctly we have to add these to the Y-cable.

Thank you - exactly the information needed.  The 47kohm resistor (between

[NOTE: It's NOT - or better not be - 220V or 110V direct to the hub, it's
likely to be 5Vdc]

You should be able to do this with the Freerunner, but you have to set the
mode in sysfs correctly, AND you should have 15k resistors between the D+
and D- data lines and ground. (see
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/GTA02_sysfs#USB_Host_.2F_Device)  I'd ordered
a combo USB hub plus card reader that I wanted to try to utilize this way,
but when it arrived the hub was intermittent and the card reader was dead,
so I've not been able to try yet. (awaiting RMA)  I've got a 5V 2A cord
from my lost Zaurus that I was going to power it all with, figured that'd
be adequate to charge the freerunner at 1000mA while powering the hub/card
reader and whatever I've plugged into it.  Just needs a bit of rewiring
inside the hub.

As far as connecting a desktop PC and the Freerunner to the hub at the same
time, I'm not sure WHAT would happen if the Freerunner were in Host mode -
you'd get contention as to which was master of the bus, probably neither
would be able to work in that configuration. (I'm not even sure if the
design of a USB hub would allow it - I think it treats the 'peripheral'
connections differently than the 'host' connection, even apart from
expecting power to be present on the host port)

Should work just fine.  I picked up a few of
http://www.cross-mark.com/female-female-coupler-adapter-p-922.html (and
http://www.cross-mark.com/pins-cable-players-p-734.html) and they work
fine.  Lets me couple the provided cable (and the replacements noted in
parens) to the standard USB cable provided with most peripherals.

I've thought about different idea - can FreeRunner be powered from USB power
adaper connected to the USB hub? Like this:


  Power plug
  |
  |
   USB Hub---Ethernet, thumb drive, other devices
  |
  |
 FreeRunner

That would probably solved power requirements... But it's still 220V (or 110V)
attached indirectly to the USB network, is it safe ('cause I have no idea...)?
For example, can I connect another computer through USB or Ethernet card with
that configuration?

Maybe this version is also possible:

Here in germany they are not as cheap but with ~10€ it is still ok.

But on the website they only say that it uses a realtek chipset but not
which. I know that the kernel supports some realtek chipsets by default,
but i don't know if this usb version is supported.

I would love to attach my neo with ethernet for testing. :)

I will add this to the wiki right away, and correct as the discussion 
continues. This info is too good to lose in the mailing list (although I 
guess you could say it's not much worse than getting lost in the wiki,

The ethernet adapter is

but while it works fine so far and is quite inexpensive, I'm not thrilled
with the construction quality.  (although I expect to be making alterations
anyway, the housing wouldn't stay together, and once it's removed the
ethernet jack is poorly anchored - clear housing plus clear tape makes
almost invisible fix until I get at it with the dremel tool ;)

Two data points to add to your list:

With Debian, I have an emprex USB keyboard working, model number 5139U.  With 
2007.2 nightly build from mid august, it only worked on the console, and the 
LEDs didn't light.  With Debian, it works everywhere, and the LEDs light up.

With 2007.2, I also got a USB 3.5" floppy drive to work, going through a 
powered USB hub.  (I didn't try directly.)  It's the future! ;)
