Ubuntu Networking :: Iphone 4.0 Usb Tethering For Internet ?
Jul 12, 2010I was wondering what is the status of tethering for 10.4 with a 3gs iphone using os 4.0? I know about jail breaking and pdanet, but i want to avoid that path.

View 1 RepliesI 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.
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?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI posted this same thing on the blueman forums (less of a population). I thought I'd post it here as well. I'm a recent convert and am a fanboi but my frustration with this bluetooth deal is getting out of hand.
Let me start by saying I'm a complete newb to ubuntu and blueman. My problem is trying to get blueman to work with iphone tethering, again. I've searched the forums and tried the restarting method; still no dice.
I managed to get the tether working properly at one point in time. I then tried to install some flash player which caused errors in other departments. I reinstalled ubuntu and fully updated it to fix the errors. I completely updated ubuntu and installed blueman through the software manager gui.
I noticed a few things different this time when installing blueman. First, blueman didn't remove the gnome-bluetooth program like it did before. Second, both bluetooth managers appear in the tray up top. Third, blueman will not tether properly. I've managed to pair the decives properly and my iphone even says it's tethered when I select it as an access point in blueman. It will not actually tether providing interwebs to my ubuntu OS.
1. What gives?! Before, any time I would select my iphone as an "access point" a little green ball would appear in the bluetooth icon and it would access the internet.
2. Also, what do my settings under "local services" need to be set to? Do I need to allow blueman to manage all network activity? Do I need NAT enabled? Do I need DHCP checked? Do I need to set as an access point and/or a group network!?
I'm using ubuntu 10.04 for a while now And iPhone USB tether worked gr8 (even of the box if I remember well) Now, yesterday at home I upgraded my packages And now today on roads the tethering not working I think kernel got update too - 2.6.25 iPhone - iOS 4.0.1 Ubuntu - 10.04 - recognizing iPhone in rhytmbox and all. Just tether problem.
View 2 Replies View Relatedhow to use tethering with an AT&T iphone on Debian? I personally have not tried much as I usually have a wireless connection where ever I go. Also I take my Windows XP netbook with me when I go out to service someones PC. If I am at home I use my Desktop mainly.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI can get my system to use the iPhone to tether up, but I don't know how to make Network Manager to do this for me within the GUI somehow. This does work on my eeePC netbook using Ubuntu UNR 10.10. Here is where I think the problem lies. The system sees the phone but doesn't create an ethernet device for it (on either system).
But a:
ifconfig wwan0 up
dhclient wwan0 will make the connection.
On Ubuntu there is a file (/etc/networks) that one can plug some info into, and when once connects the iPhone up to it, it will automatically connect. The data is:
auto wwan0
iface wwan0 inet dhcp.
How would I either make NM work, or accomplish the long way in Fedora, as I could in Ubuntu?
If I plug my iPhone into my laptop via USB cable, the phone gets mounted but no tethering connection is automatically made.I can manually configure ubuntu to tether with my iphone to use it's internet connection like this:
Code:
sudo ifconfig wwan0 up
sudo dhclient
Does anyone know how to make internet connection tethering happen automatically?
I have a samsung messager touch R631 with 3G capability and I am trying to connect my laptop to the internet through it via bluetooth. Everything worked when I had the MAC OSx on my laptop, and after I switched to ubuntu 10.04LTS (32 bit) I cannot get it to work again. I did some searching and checked a few things out, but Everything I've tried with the BlueZ isn't working. It shows I'm connected, but it just doesn't work...is there any way to get it to work or another program or something I need? these are the 2 pages I refferenced...[url] [url]
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have just installed ubuntu on my machine which doesn't have Internet. I can access the net on my laptop and copy any files over. I am wanting to install blueman to tether my iPhone. I cannot find a .deb of it, so downloaded the tar.gz but the stock install doesnt have a compiler. I could download and copy over a compiler, but I'm guessing I'm going to be here hours copying over each dependancy that I come across (I'm guessing there may be a few) how I can tether my iPhone or how I can install blueman? Does anyone know of any pre-built packages I can just copy n install?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI searched the forum but could not find anything to solve my problem. I installed Ubuntu via Wubi.exe from windows first time, before deciding to completely format and start with a Linux Ubuntu clean install (64-bit). When I installed it with Wubi.exe, I simply plugged in my Wave and it connected to the internet...no fuss!
Problem is, after clean installing Ubuntu, the same does not happen. I cant connect to mobile broadband. It is worth mentioning that this is my only internet connection available (mobile broadband) and I am thus unable to update, get necessary repositories from Linux etc.
I read something about usb_modeswitch being involved, manually did that, but I still cannot connect to the mobile broadband. Mobile broadband is enabled when I right-click the connections too. I set up the connection for CellC, removed the "Cellcis" username, added it and more, but it still does not connect.
Can anybody give me some pointer on how to go about fixing this connection, because as you can imagine, my Linux install is pretty useless without internet.
I'm trying to connect to the Internet via my Vodafone phone in tethering mode, either directly or via wifi using a Netgear goggle but neither is working.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI just got an iPhone 4 and cannot get wired usb tethering to work. I had the same problem with my old phone, but I was able to wifi tether it without jailbreaking and don't want to have to jailbreak to tether (I don't mind if it is connected via cable, in fact I prefer it).
In both cases, though gnome network manager connects to the phone, and though the phone shows a current tethering connection, the ubuntu system (10.04 Lucid) is not able to load any web pages, despite showing a wired connection, and despite the fact that connection information on this wired connection seems complete (even with an ip address from the iphone and as it did with my old phone). It seems as if there is likely some simple setting that prevents me from using a usb source, though that is a guess.
What I currently do is run this script -
Code:
rfcomm release 0
CHANNEL = `sdptool search --bdaddr=00:21:FE:A5:C9:4A dun | grep Channel | cut -c14`
rfcomm bind 0 00:21:FE:A5:C9:4A ${CHANNEL}
wvdial e71bt
And my /etc/wvdial.conf is configured for AT&T connection here in the US.
Question is, is there anyway I can integrate it with NetworkManager, instead of having to run this script?
There's a "Broadband" option on NetworkManager, but I am not able to get it to recognize my cell phone as a modem. The bluetooth applet only allows for file transfer

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have both Jaunty and Windows XP installed on my laptop (dual boot), and I have successfully tethered (via Bluetooth) my cellphone in Windows, but can't get tethering to work in Jaunty.
In Windows, when I paired my phone with my laptop using Bluetooth, Windows assigned two COM ports for Bluetooth to use. Then I configured dial-up networking, and all I had to specify was the dial string (*99**1*1#). Windows treats my cellphone as if it were a modem connected via a serial port. Works great.
When I pair my phone to the laptop when running Jaunty, I don't ever see serial ports getting configured as I do in Windows. And I've read that when the Bluetooth pairing takes place in Ubuntu, the networking wizard should start, but it does not. So, I go into network connections and create a new connection under the MOBILE BROADBAND tab (I check "connect automatically"). When I'm finished creating the connection, it says "never" to the right of the connection name, but I'm not sure what that is indicating. When I left-click the network manager icon on my desktop, it does not show any connections from which I can choose. I have no Internet connectivity.
I have proved that the Bluetooth link between Jaunty and my cellphone IS working. I have been successful sending files from my phone to Jaunty, using Bluetooth.
Am I going about setting up tethering incorrectly ?

I've just discovered the app TuneIn on my Android phone, it allows you to access radio stations that broadcast over the net, as well net-only ones, in an easy searchable interface (the 'backend' is the website radiotime.com).
Is there a way to do a similar thing on Opensuse? Currently I have a small list of stations in banshee which I had to manually add - a very painstaking manual process. Is there a plugin for banshee or another program that does this well?
I got a request today from someone on the software development team that reads as follows: Quote: According to RFC 4409 client mail submission to an email server is supposed to use port 587. Server to server SMTP relays are to use port 25. When I am not on site, I can't email via my work account via my iPhone or my residential internet because my ISP(s) filter port 25 to only allow traffic to and from their mail servers. They do however allow 587 anywhere per RFC 4409. Just to send this email I am having to relay off my own server in California. get the proper ports opened on the mail server? [URL] So my question now is I'm wondering if my Postfix server isn't properly configured? Right now it's listening on the following ports:

It's installed as a mobile broadband connection. Only works if my phone is plugged in during boot, otherwise plugging in my phone does nothing. For example, I booted my netbook earlier today but my phone wasn't plugged in. Tethering did not work, it just acts as if it isn't present. I rebooted (with my phone still attached) and now tethering magically works.
