Forget the ID but it was barely supported in Linux and unsupported in the BSD's. I was hoping it would present as an Ethernet dongle. Perhaps other phone models do, with a supported ID.
The problem with WiFi adapters is the radio, namely turning it on and off. Also need a software stack to handle authorization etc. Unluckily there is no standard when it comes to the radio's so every WiFi adapter needs its own code for enabling the radio.
As for Arca Noae, I'd guess they just don't have the resources to do this stuff. I can't imagine that they're getting rich doing this. After overhead, paying IBM their share and such, there likely isn't that much profit in a license sale and it's hard to imagine that they're selling that many licenses.
Plus we're getting left behind in this 64bit universe. I personally think it is pretty amazing how far AOS has come.
I just installed ArcaNoae USBCOM comm driver
plugged-in my HTC phone using usb cable and set HTC phone to enable modem mode. Start AOS.
Under AOS, I do not find how to configure my modem but under USBRES, the HTC modem if found and seen as Desire HD (modem mode)
I think it should be able to make it work...
During boot, I have the driver loaded with inqueue and outqueue set to 32k
After boot, I see following under hadware manager:
Then, how to go forward ?
