Using Palm Pre to test for usb networking
I have a headless box that isn't talking out its ethernet port. I wondered if it would network over usb. My Pre is on a NAT wifi network so I couldn't reach it directly.
1. Connect to pre with novaterm
root@palm-webos-device:/# ssh -f -N -n -R 9999:localhost:222 drewp@bigasterisk.com
2. On bigasterisk.com, ssh -p 9999 localhost
3. Unplug pre usb, take it to the computer for testing
4. On the new ssh connection, watch dmesg and ifconfig for action.
It might have been a bit easier to turn off pre wifi and ssh to it over the sprint network, although my connection would have been slower.
