Hi,

I have just followed you instructions and nothing happens.

What exactly should I do after installing that SVN file? Should my Kubuntu recognise connected device? in internet sharing on my PDA if I hit Connect it wants to connect to GPRS.

Re: USB Tethering under linux

When you instal the SVN you need to make sure you run the ./clean.sh as root or sudo it. This will install the kernel drivers in the proper place. I rebooted afterwards just to make sure. Then open up PIE on your titan, let it connect and open up your home page, open up "internet sharing", click connect, and then plug your usb cable from your titan to your linux box. NetworkManager should automatically sense the rndis connection and set an ip (no clue how wicd or any other net manager works with it). Presto, internet sharing for linux. I am using it right now on my Kubuntu hardy laptop teathered through my titan. Hope this helps a bit more.

I have HTC Touch (or Elf, depends from naming system)
What is PIE ? Is it (Pocket) Internet Explorer ?

Sorry - I should let it connect to where?
(Internet? Via GPRS? )

If you have been previously writing about Internet Explorer - My Homepage which is offline is coming up, and that's pretty much it.

I tried and it is connecting to my GPRS. In Internet sharing there are two boxes:

PC Connection:
->USB

NetworkConnection:
-> Internet GPRS
-> Internet MMS
-> Internet WAP

Even when I plug in cable - it is still connecting to GPRS.

And BTW: What is Linux Box? My laptop ? :-)

Something is happening because this G icon which is next to signal strength is changing to two arrows informing about some data connection, but nothing except that.

Sorry

I just upgraded to Ubuntu 8.10 Beta... after using the Broadcom STA driver, it seems that this version can actually deal with ad-hoc mode and automatically switch. Success rate is very low, though.

Here is what I had/have, turned it into an alias. Do "gedit .bashrc" and add this to your list of aliases:

To go INTO ad-hoc mode and connect to WMWifiRouter:

Code:

alias wmwifi='sudo ifconfig eth1 down;sudo /etc/dbus-1/event.d/25NetworkManager stop;sudo iwconfig eth1 mode ad-hoc essid "WMWifiRouter";sudo ifconfig eth1 up;sudo dhclient eth1'

To go back to normal/managed mode:

Code:

alias managed='sudo ifconfig eth1 down;sudo iwconfig eth1 mode managed;sudo ifconfig eth1 up;sudo /etc/dbus-1/event.d/25NetworkManager start;sudo iwlist eth1 scanning'

You'll probably have to change it around a bit. This is for the Broadcom drivers. eth1 is my wireless adapter.

Since 8.10, I get an error with stopping Network Manager; I don't know what the equivalent is here (I've been using 8.10 for literally 10mins). The reason I put that in to start with is because NetworkManager would sometimes try to interfere. You don't need it if you are supplying all the info to connect to WMWifiRouter.

Re: USB Tethering under linux

followed the original directions on the first page and nothing happens with ubuntu 8.10. I just upgraded a couple days ago and decided to try this.

Any ideas?

Re: USB Tethering under linux

WMWifiRouter.

And with 8.10, it does ad-hoc out of the box and without the command line, so it's super easy cheesy.

Re: USB Tethering under linux

dunno about 8.10 - likely not good anymore but something similar should work. 8.04 is rock solid (I'm posting this from a sub shop via a tethered mogul on my ubuntu 8.04 laptop)

For 8.10 looks like it should just work out of the box, you may have actually made it worse trying to follow this guide:

Re: USB Tethering under linux

Regarding these instructions, subversion comes installed in Fedora 10, but not usb-mdis-lite and nothing on yum....

sudo apt-get install subversion
svn co https://synce.svn.sourceforge.net/sv...usb-rndis-lite

And its ridiculously fast to boot.

cd usb-rndis-lite/
make
sudo ./clean.sh
sudo make install

Then just launch internet sharing on your phone, hit connect, then plug in the USB cable.

My experience with linux is sucky...And I want to tether.

I have been playing around with a zoneminder live cd 1.23.3 running Mandriva 2007.0 system running Icewm, kde 3.5 desktop and development tools.

The goal of this post will result in adding mandriva 2007 Linux connectivity to the usb dun sticky in the titan forum, in a step by step manner for the linux noob (like me)

Please help in explaining the where why and how executing these commands in Mandriva 2007.0:

sudo apt-get install subversion
svn co https://synce.svn.sourceforge.net/sv...usb-rndis-lite
cd usb-rndis-lite/
make
sudo ./clean.sh
sudo make install

Then just launch internet sharing on your phone, hit connect, then plug in the USB cable.

Re: USB Tethering under linux

i bought wmwifirouter when i had the mogul. i mostly used it via usb it would get picked up as auto etho-1. i was running ubuntu at the time now i run mint with my tp2 and still works like a charm.
