USB Tethering under linux

[AndrewZorn]

WOW. I'm going to try that first suggestion later. I have had SO MUCH TROUBLE with tethering on my Linux laptop. Bluetooth doesn't work and often crashes the laptop. So I went to WMWifiRouter, which is great for everyone that uses Windows... but my wireless drivers have trouble with Ad-Hoc. Eventually wrote a script to 'fix' this by switching to ad-hoc mode in a different driver... among other things.

Care to share that script?

if you just need to sync your contacts with evolution, try this

it uses a free online exchange server to sync both your phone and pc.

make
sudo ./clean.sh
sudo make install

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

So i did this, but I get this when I make:

make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.24-22-eeepc/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
make: *** [install] Error 2


any thoughts as to how to fix this?

Do you have the compiling tools installed john? I think it's sudo apt-get install automake and you should have what you want. But frankly you could get better help if you pop on IRC and get on Freenode channel #ubuntu and get help there.

You rock! Been banging my head into the wall trying to get ics working under Kubuntu. Settled on wmodem and was working until I swapped my apache to my titan. Maybe the rom I flashed or maybe the titan, but wmodem doesnt work and the usb-serial driver just returns "CLIENT" when trying to initialize the modem. For those of you that need to download this in Windows because you have no connectivity under linux, google "tortoiseSVN", a windows explorer addon that lets you use subversion under windows. Checked out the SVN, copied to my /home partition, and then did just like it says. I rebooted just to be safe, but added the modules and it just works.

John1234:

You need the developer tools installed. Should be at least make, gcc, libc6-dev, g++, libstdc-dev, and build-essentials (from a kubuntu install, but should be the same).

Anyone able to get tethering working using an Acer Aspire One Linux mini-notebook?

I believe it uses Linpus Lite Linux... there really isn't any guides to get it working on Linpus

Dear namopereht,

Can you explain that? I am bit new to Kubuntu and I don't get anything from what you written

-What is this related to ?
-What your solution should do?
-Why there are only windows installation files for Tortosie when we do it under Linux ?

Many thanks

It probably is a lot of the same stuff, download the driver, compile, and plug it in.

birkopf: Sorry, should have clarified. To check out a file using SVN you need to have a SVN client with internet access. I was merely suggesting if you have dual-boot or another windows machine with internet access and no internet access to the linux box, you could install tortoise to the windows box and check out the SVN files there, and transfer the files to your linux box to build.
