Question: How do I get USB to Ethernet to work on webtop? I don't have wifi and AT&T's coverage sucks!
Answer:
Of course AT&T's coverage sucks! We all know this. At my work I don't have wifi, but I do have a USB port (that is linked to my university, not my work network). AT&T doesn't allow IRC over it's network, and my signal sucks (or doesn't work at all) a lot of the time, so I looked into USB-over-ethernet. Contrary to what moto says, it works. I don't know why they don't try to implement it, since it's pretty easy. You just need a bit of terminal skills.
NOTE: THIS SHOULD WORK ON OTHER MOTO-WEBTOP DEVICES AS WELL SINCE THEY ALL SHARE THE SAME LINUX BASE... SORT OF.
DISCLAIMER: IF THIS SOMEHOW BREAKS YOUR DEVICE, LEG, DOG, OR LIBIDO I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE, ALTHOUGH I'M PRETTY SURE IT WONT UNLESS YOU FUBAR IT.
I had help from Luminary(IRC)/Zxo0oxz and AR_(IRC)/ar31791on this cause I'm kind of a linux noob.
So I purchased a USB-to-Ethernet adapter: http://www.amazon.com/Plugable-Ethe.../B00484IEJS/ref=pd_cp_e_3/180-6608578-4269610 ($15). It has an ASIX AX88772 chipset in it, ASIX chipsets were the first usb-to-ethernet chipsets and they are nearly universally supported , especially on linux.
I am using the lapdock, no idea if this works with usb-otg, but you can try it if you want, but these directions won't work for you.
This guide assumes you have installed webtopmod or webtop2SD! Cause you need terminal access.
Boot to webtop, let it do it's thing. Open up LXTerminal.
Plug in your usb-toethernet device into one of the USB ports. Have it already connected to the router or whatever you are connecting it to via ethernet.
Run 'dmesg'. You should see somewhere recently a new USB device, most likely ASIX chipset. It should have a name with 'eth' in it, mine happened to be usbeth0.
Substitute DEVICENAME with what you just found it's name to be where it says DEVICENAME below.
If you run ifconfig DEVICENAME, it should print out some network related stuff if it finds your device. If it does, great, if not, well you might need to better guess the name, or it might just not be supported.
If you just run ifconfig, you won't see the device cause it is not yet active. eth0 is the atrix's wireless, if you turn wireless off it'll go away (as you can see in dmesg after you turn it off)
[Note: iwconfig doesn't exist on this distro, or it might just not be in PATH, I didn't both to look]
Assuming you found your device, if you do:
sudo ifconfig DEVICENAME up
the device should come up, and should be viewable under the command ifconfig.
Assuming you are using DHCP as a address provider, now run:
sudo dhclient DEVICENAME
and if it 'bounds' to an address, you're good to go! Turn off wifi and you should still be able to connect without AT&T's restrictions. If you make a script, this will run easily on the desktop!
I tried adding this device to webtop's interfaces file, but it ruined XFCE's bottom bar so I have to manually bring it up otherwise it breaks webtop. Also, not sure if this is related, but the wifi menu won't go away anymore either, but I haven't done too much testing.
So here's an automagic script you can paste if your configuration works the same as mine (it most likely will):
Code:
sudo ifconfig usbeth0 up
sudo dhclient usbeth0
I know it's short, but I'm a noob, and I'm sure many others are noobs too, so I hope this helps.
Your milage may vary, but I hope this helps! If it does, click thanks Also be sure to thank the people who helped me!

Webtop USB to Ethernet Droid Bionic Photon Atrix lapdock
Hello,
HERE is an easier way.
Doum
Tried that, if the device isn't plugged in at webtop boot the dock will crash(at least xfce did) . I don't use usb to ethernet all the time.
Trolling from my ATRIX 4G's XDA premium app, still on the gold medal winner of worst customer satisfaction for the second year in a row! Congrats!
It works with the stock webtop as well. You just have to use the terminal app from the phone.
Once you plug in your adapter type netcfg if you have a usbeth0 you're golden, otherwise you probably need a different adapter. I've read where the adapters Apple sells for the MacBook Air work. I know my old ass trendnet 10/100 works, but my Linksys 10/100 doesn't.
Don't have it with me (I leave it at work), but does the phone data connection work if you turn it on airplane mode? I know the phone apps didn't when i turned off my apn, but webtop apps worked. (I didn't turn off cause i want phone calls... doesn't work if in airplane mode though)
Does it work on stock 2.3.4 unrooted
Hi all,
Sorry for digging up an old thread.
As in the title -- does this work on stock a 2.3.4, unrooted, unaltered Atrix?
I have an HD dock with an adapter plugged in. dmesg lists it as AX88x72A. netcfg shows usbeth0 DOWN.
Any pointers?
Thanks

But I can't find anywhere that was eth0 ....
You solve this issue with the usb ethernet?
Might be usb_ether, Im not very good with the linux shell yet so I don't know how to look it up. Mine always showed eth0. Ill look at it more later today and post my dmesg when I get the chance.

Apple Macbook Air Ethernet
Has anyone tried to use the Apple Macbook Air Ethernet adapter? I'd love to get that to work.
Mine is an AX88x72A -- not sure if the B in yours makes a difference. Mine is listed as usbeth0 in dmesg and netcfg.

I followed the instructions in

Webtop seems to work o.k. The phone browser etc. does not automatically recognize it even though netcfg shows that usbeth0 is up and connected.

Hi, I tried to enter usb_ether ... Nothing helps. As far as I can see there is no difference between AX88x72A and B.
Maybe it's because of the fact that I connect to the HDDock?
Sorry for not being much help. My set-up is the same (apart from the adapter) --> Atrix in HD-Dock, USB to Ethernet Adapter in USB slot, and RJ45 from there. When I first plugged the adapter into the dock and then put the Atrix in the dock, the leds in the Adapter lit up, netcfg / dmesg showed that I had connected a new device (Asix ...), but that usbeth0 was down. After following the instructions I linked in post 12 above, netcfg showed that usbeth0 was up and had an IP address. Webtop, phone browser, market seem to be working o.k. (phone browser did not work at first, but did after a while).

Hi,
what's your adapter ? ASIX AX88772 A or B ????????
As stated in posts 6, 10, 11, and the one you quoted yourself in post 13 --> it is an ASIX AX88x72 A

Just in case anyone is interested. The usb ethernet adapter also works via otg cable and hub.
Hello guys,
I am trying to bring back to life a dead Vivo 1901 (V15) phone using SP Flash Tools v5.2036. The Firmware I am using comes in a file named, "Vivo_Y15_PD1901BF_MT6765_EX_A_1.12.4_11062019_(by_vivofirmware.com)",
which also provides MT6765 scatter file.
The auth file, scatter file and DA file that I am using for flashing is attached with this post. Upon selecting these files and flashing ( first tried with download only, then using format all + download, but results are same), I the following messages appear in the output of the tool.
