- Connection setup: To configure a TCP/IP connection based on different mechanisms (USB, Bluetooth, WLAN) and different operating systems (Linux, Mac OS and Windows)

Documentation

To simplify setting up of communication between the host PC and the Tablet, PC Connectivity provides the meta package maemo-pc-connectivity which installs the necessary components to the Tablet, and the meta package host-pc-connectivity which installs the components needed in the host PC. See the Installation instrunctions.

This documentation provides instructions for configuring these components and how to setup the connection between the host PC and the Tablet in several ways, such as USB, Bluetooth and WLAN (ad-hoc).
