comment Which cell phones run Linux?
If it runs a Linux kernel, it can run a GNU/Linux system in a chroot if the appropriate software is installed. Android doesn't include a lot of system utilites that you'd expect in a GNU/Linux environment. But it is not overly difficult to get Debian installed in a chroot environment with the debootstrap utility. Once you do this everything is just an apt-get away.

comment Can't add large number of rules to iptables
if your kernel has NFQUEUE target support built-in or available as a module then no kernel recompile needed. You'll need to compile nfblock though unless you find an .rpm for it. NFQUEUE was introduced with 2.6.14.

Learn about the NFQUEUE target and use nfblock. Much more elegant.

comment Connect alauda driver to an mtd device
Thank you for your reply. The xD card is successfully recognized (showed up as /dev/sde). mknod /dev/mtd0 c 90 0 doesn't do anything, mtdinfo gives me error 19 (no such device). /proc/mtd doesn't reveal any MTD devices. An lsmod | grep alauda reveals that mtd and mtdchar are both loaded. Any ideas?

comment What does the .d stand for in directory names?
When you do an ls command (not ls -al) without using the --color option (either explicitly specified or part of LS_OPTIONS environment variable), having the ".d" makes directories stand out from the list. That's why I always thought it was done.

comment Usb-ethernet device
Searching reveals the CP210x is a "USB to UART" bridge chip. No mention of Ethernet. Unfortunately, the answer is no, and I'm very certain you are indeed wrong, my friend. You might want to update your question with a picture of the cable just to be 100% certain (but right now I'm 99% certain). Does it have an "RJ-45" jack on the non-USB side of it? That type of jack is used for serial (i.e. NOT ethernet) cables and even phone lines, in addition to Ethernet cables. This may have given you an incorrect impression of the converter's capabilities.
