Is it possible to get any AmigaOS4.x system online using USB tethering?

I Know I can use my android phone for a WIFI hotspot but I havenothing for wireless on my sam440

Any suggestions would be appreciated

Sharp Aquos with Android 2.3.5 and a sam440-flex with AmigaOS4.1u5 installed

Can't help with USB, but someone suggested using a piece of hardware that is kind of the opposite of a Wireless Access Point. I forget what it was called, but it picks-up a wireless signal, and provides internet via an ethernet port. It is probably configured via a web browser. Should solve your WiFi-less Sam440 issue, if you cannot fit a PCI WiFi card in your Sam.

it's not fitting a WIFI card that will solve anything
I specifically need to go through my an
droid phone with tethering for Internet access

But such a WIFI bridge device for Ethernet or USB connection to my 440flex would help the LAN situation here too

Having checked my android phone with a tethering application running

I only need to sort out the AmigaOS USB driver with RoadShow to get further updates and testing pushed to the project repositories

Something like this perhaps ?

Uuhh, no? why buy that when I could use my phone?

to my knowledge Chris was suggesting some kind of Ethernet to WIFI 802.11 AP which would be more useful than another cellular link device

Ok I think I get what you are asking now.
To connect you computer to the phone via usb .

Yes, was that unclear from the start?

Apparently I need some kind of Google ADB driver support

for the USB connection
otherwise I will need some Ethernet to WIFI bridge device
