you can use a gta01 with a y-cable and power source (i modified the

hub below to provide 5v upstream to eliminate the need for a y cable).

I only had to add the modules "option" and "usbserial" to work with

the 3g adapter. it's a cdma/evdo adapter from verizon.

it's not too hard to make the neo act as a bluetooth access point to

multiple devices and also bt dun server for one more device. I haven't

set this up on the neo yet but I did do that with a gumstix.
i think it may still be up in the air how to run a usb device and keep

the freerunner charging externally. this 3g adapter i'm using draws a

lot of power, so it almost certainly won't work when only powered from

a freerunner's battery.
