Wmodem wont start+trying to tether in linux

[watson540]

EDIT: I think i read somewher eyou have to give it time to commit to rom, so im trying that now. I still would like any input from anyone who runs linuxand would like to tether natively. im very close just need a little help


I need to know. The wmodem key you see when you do the reg hack to tether. It changes itself back to zero every time i set it to 1.

I think its there to enable starting of the wmodem exe thatms left in the windows folder. I know in wm6 they booted wmodem, but i need to try and useit cause I seem to be the only friggin linux user in the world with this phone and i want to be able to tether without starting xp in a virtual machine
