Ubuntu Networking :: Get The IPhone To Tether With Bluetooth?
Apr 1, 2010
I have a 9.10 installed on my USB stick drive and I am trying to get my iPhone to tether with bluetooth. I followed a guide, (installed blueman, connected to phone, enabled tethering, set to trust device and provide network access). The computer connects to the network and says it is successful, and the iPhone has the blue flashing banner saying it is now tethering, but firefox doesn't connect to the internet.
Is there a way to force it to use the new tethered connection?

This is on Lucid, using a Dell Mini. I installed the required packages for a USB tether to my iPhone. Network Manager recognized it immediately as wwan0, but it doesn't connect. Also, it never asks me for the password to connect to the Personal Hotspot (as it does when I can connect from Windows).

I have upgraded to 10.10 and have lost all ability to tether my iPhone via USB or Bluetooth on my Gateway LT24 series Netbook. I'm using an ASUS Bluetooth USB dongle. Here is the output I get to see the status of my connection:
markvv@netbook:~$ dmesg | tail -n10
[ 48.239050] cfg80211: Regulatory domain: 98
[ 48.239056] (start_freq - end_freq @ bandwidth), (max_antenna_gain, max_eirp)
[Code].....
In Blueman, I have my Bluetooth setup as a Network Access Point, dnsmasq enabled. PAN and DUN support are set to NetworkManager. I cannot change these to Blueman (not sure if I should be able to).
I really need my tethering feature to work. Or, should I revert back to 10.04.

I recently updated my kernel and now can no longer tether my iphone to my openSUSE11.3(x64) laptop. Before the update I could tether.Same machine dual boots to Win7-64bit and can tether just fine.I re-installed the libimobile packages, but my linux no longer recognizes the iphone as a network device.t DOES pop-up some boxes asking if I want to play the media, or view the photos on the iPhone - so that part is working

So I can't get the bluetooth tethering to work still! I have been trying for about 2 weeks. The phone pairs, in blueman I set the phone as a trusted device and click network access point. It then flashes up on the iPhone tethered with the blue banner. Blueman says it is connected. But no net access. Network connections shows no new connections either. Weird, I thought it would appear in there. Is there anything I can do to force it to add the bluetooth link as a network connection?

What do I need to tether my phone with Ubuntu? I've tried using Berry4All but there's no conf file for my carrier, and I don't know how to create one.I have my carrier's APN and the number to dial, other than that do I need any extra info? Is there another software that I can use to tether my BB?

just finished installing Ubuntu to my dell mini 10v netbook. I really like it so far but I have hit a problem that may be a potential deal breaker. I have a CDMA HTC Hero phone that I have rooted. I installed the "wireless tether for root users" app on my phone and use it ALL the time to go online on my netbook through my phone on windows. However Ubuntu 9.10 does not seem to connect to my phone running this app. It sees the SSID, and i tell it to connect, and then I just get that circle thing for a couple of minutes then it gives up and connects to my main router if its in range.

if anyone here could recommend a cellphone. My main requirement is that it should tether as a 3.5g modem via USB to a PC running Fedora 13. I have previously used a Nokia to good effect, but their standpoint on privacy is making me look for a different brand.

I have Blueman Device Manager that enabled SPP (Serial Port) and it says :
Code:
Serial port connected to /dev/rfcomm0
How do I see the serial communication on this?
I tried on console

Is there any other way to listen (and also send) to serial comm msgs on bluetooth?

The bluetooth manager does not detect a bluetooth dongle .trying to use ndiswrapper to fix.I installed device manager and the results are shown below.i downloaded the windows driver suite. It has 4 .exe self extracting driver archives and a setupconfig.ini. The .ini file is below.I was able to extract one of the 32bit archives on a windows machine and it had about 8 .inf files that are titled weird and would not install properly using ndiswrapper probably because im using the 64-bit architecture. there are 2 64bit .exe's in the driver download, but how can i extract them in ubuntu and do i really need to install all 8 .inf files. also do i actually need to make a .inf file? if so how?

I am currently trying to get my server box to recognize my Samsung epic 4g (sprint) which is rooted and has usb tether enabled. It works perfectly and effortlessly on my ubuntu desktop box, but I hook it up to my server box and ifconfig does not find a usb0 device like my desktop does. I am running 10.4.1 on both desk and server box.

I am trying to configure my android phone (rooted Eris running kaossfroyo 2.2) to be used as a midi controller. Which I am having enough trouble with as it is but it has raised an annoying issue that occurred a month ago when I used the phones tethering network with my laptop. After connecting the laptop to the phones network (either tether, or an Ad-hoc network created using the network manager) I am unable to switch to other networks. In other words when I'm done with the phone-laptop connection I cannot connect my laptop to my home network! When I click on the other network connection I can see that it is attempting to connect in the upper right corner of the desktop (the network icon) but it will not make the connection.
What happens is that the network indicator will make the little circle graphic as if it is trying to connect but it never will display the other circle as green indicating that it has connected. but when I disconnect from the home network that is not connecting I will get a message underneath that will say that ad-hoc network disconnected! If I am switching from the android tether it will say Android-Tether disconnected etc. Even though when I click on network manager it shows that I am attempting to connect to the home network (labeled LIBERTY in my case) upon disconnection it shows the ad-hoc or tether connection being disconnected.
I am absolutely baffled by this! The issue persists even after deleting the ad-hoc connection from the wireless settings tab!!! I would speculate that for some reason the laptop is attempting to connect to the previous ad-hoc connection despite me wanting it to connect to LIBERTY. I am very confused and hope someone can lead me in the right direction.

When I first got my BlackBerry, USCellular said I couldn't tether with Linux. That's not so, all you need is BlueTooth (USB adapter, built in, whatever)
You just install Blueman
Code:
sudo apt-get install blueman
Search for your BlackBerry, Pair it to your computer, then go to Devices > Serial ports > Dial Up Networking.
Your wireless connection should be in Network Manager. NOTE: You may have to right-click on NM and setup Numbers, Passwords, Usernames. I did.

I recently downloaded the iPhone app "Handy Light" which contains an Easter Egg allowing you to tether a laptop to the phone to use the 3G as a wireless network. The only instructions I can find are for Windows or Mac. Anybody know how to do this with Ubuntu?

first thing first - started using Linux for the first time yesterday (LONG time windows person) and I'm enjoying it very well, so if I do manage to get any help can it be in noob-language? and when i say that I mean absolutely dumbed down as mch as possible.
I just now figured out how to get terminal open.
now my current internet situation is very weird, my only choice at the moment is to connect my windows 7 laptop to my 10.04 Ubuntu desktop via ethernet cord. Before when i had both win7 on both machines it worked out perfectly with ICS and had no problems, but now with linux it doesnt work at all.

I'd like to create a wireless network so that I can connect my iPhone to the internet. I made a new network, the iPhone sees the network and apparently connects, but Safari doesn't work. It doesn't work with the default settings, and I don't know what to put in the fields. Could anyone give me a small tutorial?

I am trying to connect my iphone 3GS to my netbook using Fedora 15, tethered via a USB cable. When I first plug it in, it recognizes it as a digital media player and pops up a dialog asking what I want to do, recognizes it as media with digital photos on it and pops up another dialog asking what I want to do, mounts the documents folder on the iphone and opens an file manager window, and adds an eth1 interface dynamically. The network manager recognizes it as a wired connection and tries to connect to it. This times out and the interface is left off.
This is so close to just working right out of the box. I really commend the Fedora team for this release. I am thinking of submitting this as a bug, but just want to ask here first, is there there something I don't know about the iphone which makes it unable to connect to eth1? Mentioned here was an ad-hoc network connection, is this mandatory for connecting to iphone through the USB cable? Ideally it would just connect to the cellular network and pull an IP, but I'm a newbie with this and am not sure about the level of security that affords me.

I've searched through google, and all I can find are instructions on how to set up a L2TP/IPSec VPN that works with macs and iPhones. I'm NOT trying to set up an L2TP/IPSec VPN. I'm trying to set up a pure-ipsec vpn.
The iPhone IPSec client is a built-in cisco client, I believe. I'm staying away from L2TP and PPTP because I need multicast packets to go through. *edit: wow, i just noticed that the title says "8.10 LTS". Oops! I obviously mean "8.04 LTS". Gah, the lack of sleep got to me.

====== Wireless Access Point & IP Forwarding Mini-Howto ======Use case: we have a pc (laptop, for that matter) with UBUNTU 10.04, and with wired connection to the internet. We want to connect iPod/iPhone or any other device to this laptop, and browse the internet, effectivelly turning our pc/laptop to a WI-FI access point. At this stage, we would not implement any encryption, so our network would be open to anyone.
Oour pc/laptop have 2 working interfaces, wlan0 and eth0. Device eth0 is the wired connection to the internet, device wlan0 is going to be set up as the wireless access point for the iPod/iPhone or similar gadget. We want to forward any IP traffic attached to wlan0 through to eth0. Interface eth0 can either obtain the IP addres from DHCP server on the router, or it can be fixed, it does not matter. But we definitelly need to set fixed IP address to wlan0, and configure dhcp server to listen on this interface.
===== Things to do =====
configure iptables to forward the traffic from wlan0 to eth0
setup wlan0 in /etc/network/interfaces

I have an iPhone and I am trying to get Internet tethering to work. I know tethering works on the phone as I successfully got it running under windows. I followed the instructions at the following site
[URL]
I ran the following commands
Firstly I installed dependencies with yum:
yum install libimobiledevice libimobiledevice-devel git gcc
Next I downloaded and compiled ipeth. Note: to do this I also had to install kernel headers, I also had to edit the ipheth.c file as per the instructions on the site for fedora 14 (see below for more)
git clone git://github.com/dgiagio/ipheth.git
cd ipheth/ipheth-pair
make
sudo make install
cd ../ipheth-driver/
sudo make install
[Code]....
This allowed me to successfully make the kernel driver. Once this was made I also copied the config file for the kernel driver to /usr/modipheth.d folder as per the readme instructions in the ipheth*folder.
When I type modprobe ipheth it doesn't state it's an incorrect command. I then plugged in my iPhone. Fedora detected it was plugged in and loaded the iPhone logo on the desktop. Internet tethering is turned on within the phone, however network manager does not see it as a device.
