Hello, in my fedora 14 I was able to do usb tethering with fw 4.2.1 on my iphone 3gs. NetworkManager was apparently not able to manage this kind of connection so I had to: - connect iphone via usb - enable usb tethering on iphone menu - automatically the ipheth kernel module was loaded and an interface wwan0 created - ifconfig wwan0 up - dhclient wwan0 and I got an ip from the iphone, being able to go to internet this way. Now I'm testing on the same PC with Fedora 15 and iphone updated to 4.3.3 fw What it was usb tethering is now called personal hot spot on iphone menu. For 3gs it remains bluetooth and usb tethering (the hot spot word by apple is misleading in this case), while for iphone 4 devices there is also a wifi option that makes it actually a hot spot. In Fedora15 it seems Network Manager can manage this kind of connection. Or at least it tries to manage the device... My onboard nic is seen as em1. When I connect the iphone and enable personal hotspot I have the interface eth0 that appears. I have configured a dhcp profile and attempt to bind it to my eth0 connection but it seems it doesn't get any ip and then it switches to a static profile (this latest one in my opinion is a bug... it simply shouldn't switch to another profile but keep the interface as not connected) Anyone using this combination successfully? Anyone still in 4.2.1 and Fedora15 getting success? Just to analyze what could be the root cause...
