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.
Primarily, this would involve
- Modifying Kernel modules (E.g. usb_modswitch) to work on ARM and to
work without glibc.

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

There is a statically compiled ARM version of usb_modeswitch available on http://draisberghof.de

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.
Regards, Shamit
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.

Thanks. Will try this.
Are you using wvdial?

Er, yes :) Should have mentioned that.

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.
