Will the USB Connector support a USB RJ45?
I guess a driver will be needed
Reason for asking is because i need a tablet that i can wire up and i want to get the Tab 10.1
I would love to see this work too.
It does not support RJ45 adapter for internet.

HUMMM, not sure if i am willing to accept that..
It must be a way we can make it happen.
If you need to connect to a RJ45 jack, I suggest getting a "LAN to WiFi Hotspot" Adapter like the LogiLink Wireless LAN Mini AP Router. You can get one for about 22€ and it's a great, little travel device for use in hotels that only offer internet via LAN. For me that's a much more convenient solution than trying to put my tablet on a leash.

I'm not sure that we can dismiss this that easily?
the drivers exist for android as shown for the asus / honeycomb 3.2

I have ordered the USB adapter and am currently looking for one of the listed supported usb to ethernet devices hopefully will be testing this before the end of next week on both domestic and commercial networks.

Not to my knowledge, so that is why i am thinking if i can take the usb host Adapter and connect a usb RJ45...
Ok I habe two usb to ethernet adapters one shows as a high powered device and the other as an unknown device.
Speaking to my local linux expert he says the kernel I have has some axis drivers built in and I need to either get that exact adapter or a kernel which doesn't have drivers already built in so I can insert my own.
So not lost yet but the battle continues.

These work well for lan connections in hotels:-

If you're talking about hotels and such (NOT corporate, where WiFi will face policy issues) -
Almost any cheap wifi router will work if you need to bridge a hardwire LAN. Honest, for the cost you're spending on hardware and headache... $25 for a cheap router and you're done.
Just remember - if you plan to actually bridge them (plugging the LAN into the PC ports, NOT the cablemodem port as you'd do at home), remember to turn off the router's DHCP before doing so.

This is what i needed! Ordering USB addon to my Tab and a usb rj45, and when all is received its time for some kernel playing!!
Will keep this tread updated
Final update on this one, we have had it working using the Samsung 30 pin to USB and a Axis USB to ethernet dongle.
This worked on version 3.1 as the driver from the asus transformer thread was written for that kernel when we updated to 3.2 it all went wrong.
Recently i have been doing some work with Samsung mobility and they have escalated this to the researchers in Korea they removed the support on purpose from the standard 3.2 rom as there was a feeling it wasn't required.
However they are currently looking at if they can include it in the ICS release and are also looking at how complicated it is to create us a dock which has a Ethernet port built in given i want to get 250 galaxies working on a wired connection. Obviously if they create it for us they would also release it for general sale in some way which would be a massive win for the galaxy and the potential for use within the IT industry.
@Banathe, can you tell Me how it went with Samsung mobility. I have the same situation. Client wants some about 300 devices, but also wants the ability to access LAN (to configure TV boxes through tablet, and this can be done only by LAN cable). Can You tell me exactly with which tablet and adapter You managed to have a connection and what is a result of Your research?
As most people have probably already heard, the "MHL" port on the SGS3 isn't compatible with existing MHL accessories or displays (so it isn't really an MHL port then is it). See this site for more on that.
Sammie has released some over-priced accessories for it, but buying those would reward and re-inforce this move (the only nasty thing the've done on an otherwise brilliant phone) and they would probably become landfill when you get your next phone. Besides, Sammie recently indicated that this port can do more, so I guess that means they will release a second round of video accessories for this phone, making the first round landfill even before you move on to your next phone.
So, if someone really needs video output for their SGS3, what are their options?
Samsung makes a wireless (Wi-Fi) streaming video dongle for the GSIII, but this too appears to be proprietary and possibly just for the GS3. It looks like there are standards coming for wireless streaming, but they aren't here yet (e.g. Miracast).
Are there other wireless video streaming devices that work with the SGS3?
Even better, though, has any other company created accessories that are compatible with the fake MHL port on the SGS3? The best would be something that worked with the SGS3 and with standards compliant MHL devices and displays (of which there are now > 100), but I don't know if that is possible.
Actually, for some users, something a bit different might work...
DLNA for example, which allows you to play content from your phone on any smart TV. It's not the same as 'video out' for your phone, but I think some poeple are just looking for a way to get media from their phone to their display. And DLNA is very widely supported standard now.
Also, these are low cost Android 4 devices in the form of an HDMI dongle - you plug them directly into your TV:
Infinitec Pocket TV
The Kogan Smart TV HDMI dongle
:meh: For $10 you can get the adapter from Samsung to use the old MHL adapters. The new adapter allows USB OTG, if I understand correctly, that is added functionality over what the old MHL offered. I don't think they changed just to make users buy new MHL adapters.

First problem is that would mean you need an adapter for an adapter, which is a cumbersome solution.
More importantly, I believe that what you are saying is not true: I have reviewed the info from Samsung so far and it appears to me that the new adapter adapter does not support any of the additional capabilities (USB org) that Samsung has recently suggested that the 11pin port is capable of.
That means that there will be new accessories soon to enable that capability, so you will have 3 accessories for that one port, just to do one thing.
No cheap and trustworthy ebay alternatives yet??

Get a HDMI android tv dongle.
Then install mirrorOp sender/receiver for screen mirroring.
Works fine enough but frame rate may not be fast enough for gaming mirroring.

Apparently that is an implementation of the Wi-Fi alliances Miracast standard, which sounds great, but for now (i.e. until Android ships with it) it requires root access.
I have bought a few products and have been successful at hooking my note 2 up to a tv with excellent results. I want to also hook up usb hub. I have had SO much bad luck even trying to find out a solution. It seems something is wrong here... oh I see now since I read all of galaxymhl.com. If there was any chance of me paying for the Samsung dock its NOT going to happen now. Dont ever mess with a standard!
I am ready to get out my solder gun and wire it myself...
I own this..

Also just bought this

The USB does not work with the phone! So sending it back today.
I need HDMI as well as DATA simultaneously. If I missed something I am sorry. It just seems people and products are not clear about this.
If there is a site on rewiring these cables it would be awesome. Does anyone have a solution???
I bought a Galaxy s3 USB OTG cable (Female USB A to Micro USB Male) and it does not recognize anything that I plug into it. Does anyone know if the USB Host functionality has been removed from the Sprint version of this phone? I want to know before I just assume that it's a defective cable.
I used USB OTG for everything on both Stock and Cyanogenmod. I think you have a defective cable. One of the main features is actually OTG support.
I think your best bet is getting this cable since it's $0.67 with free shipping and it pretty much works for everyone.
Just played a game with Xbox controller and OTG and it was really cool. Hopefully you'll be able to share my experience.

Are you using a Sprint Galaxy S3? I ask because it seemed that the OTG feature was disabled in the Galaxy S2, so I wasn't sure if Sprint would also disable it in the Galaxy S3. From my searching on-line, it seems that those using the T-Mobile and AT&T Galaxy S3 variants are able to connect with USB OTG. For 68 cents, I might as well try ordering another one.

Yeah, Sprint. It worked on stock and on custom ROMs. I use the exact same cable and it works 100%.
Did they have a reason to disable it on the SGS2? I'm wondering why on earth they'd do that.

Not sure why they disabled it because it seems pretty illogical to do that. I ordered the cable, and hopefully in a month I'll be able to see if it ends up working. I'm hoping that it's a problem with the cable and not a problem with my phone.
I was able to get FAT32 thumb drives and my Canon camera to work. USB keyboards and mice did not. NTFS drives did not work either, even though I used a mounting app that makes it work on my tablet.
It won't arrive for a little bit (1saleaday is slow to ship), so I figure I'll ask some questions in the meantime.
Does it support MHL 2.0? I've seen conflicting info, in that some places don't even mention MHL support. And if it's not 2.0, does it require that specific 11-pin Samsung adapter? Selling my HTC One and not sure if I should just include my current 5-pin adapter with it.
Does it work with the Smart Dock like the regular S4 and whatnot? Assuming it works with MHL 2.0, I don't see why it wouldn't work with the Smart Dock.
What kind of sound hardware does it have? I don't suppose its Wolfson...
Does it support exFAT for microSD? I've seen confirmation that it supports 64GB cards at least.
And any idea if it'll have a wireless charging back like for the S4? Don't know if it even supports wireless charging.
I've tried mhl 1.0 and 2.0. Both don't work. Also tried USB OTG also doesn't work.
I have a 64gb micro sd but I can't remember how it's formatted. But definitely works.

Well crap, I was banking on at least regular MHL - are you sure its not the cable you're using (as in, it requires the Samsung specific 11-pin cable)? If not, then I guess GSMarena is wrong (wouldn't be the first time).
I've tried both a cheap one from ebay and the samsung geniune one which works with my normal Galaxy S4 without using the power cable......both cable works on my normal GS4 but it doesn't work on my MIni GS4....i've also tried with or without the power cable attached and still doesn't work.

Now all you need is for the tablet to have OTG support. For some reason this is always a big question mark.
I have a USB OTG cable and have used it often with my Galaxy Nexus, but depending on the ROM I had to install an app (that needs root - by chainfire I believe) for it to work. So I wouldn't be too surprised if USB OTG didn't work out of the box.

Maybe this works better on non-AOSP devices. As far as I know, Samsung also has their own Bluetooth drivers too, for example. Maybe this is a similar situation, I don't really know. I've never owned a non-Nexus device, I'm sure someone else with more experience with Samsung devices can clarify this for us.
I tested USB storage and it's working .. but maybe selective
Tried 5 sticks .. 4 worked except a Sony thumb drive gave USB is blank and it's led only blinked for a second.
Also noticed that processor got hot quickly.. as it opened the file explorer or maybe it's the media server and indexing
I've used the otg cable with a mouse successfully
