Well, I've committed a patch to Tramp (and to Emacs), that does not
compute the "busybox" connection property anymore. If you discard the
existing connection properties by `tramp-cleanup-all-connections', this
connection property goes away, and everything shall be fine.

Andres, in your case accessing the n800 you must set this connection
property yourself. There is a new section in the Tramp manual,
"Predefined connection information", which explains how to do.

This is the modest compromise I could think of.

Best regards, Michael.
