USB Tethering under linux

[kupo]

Has anyone managed to usb tether the mogul under linux and get it working?
I've found some half completed guides on www.ubunuforums.org but nothing comes close to a decent step-by-step or guide.

If you're running Ubuntu, its rather easy.

And its ridiculously fast to boot.

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.

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?

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.

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.

I followed this tut and it works fine for ubuntu 8.04 and evolution email

I'll try both, guys and report back how it goes tonight.
Thanks for the quick response. Do you find you get better battery life out of this technique than using WmWifiRouter?

Wow Ethereal,
I got impatient and grabbed all the stuff on the train and tried it out works great!
Mind if I cross post your info to www.ubuntuforums.org ?
I like how it pauses the connection if I recieve a phone call

I am really new to linux, so bare with me. The commands you have listed are if I currently have an internet connect correct? But I don't at my house without my phone. How would I download these files via windows??


Then I would assume I would extract them to my linux computer and then find the directory for the files I extracted and run the command as follows..




sudo apt-get install subversion
svn co insert directory prior to files?
cd usb-rndis-lite/
make
sudo ./clean.sh
sudo make install

Awesome, it works! Thanks!
