tether a wi fi signal from cell phone over USB cable to TCL

[cast-fish]

Hello,

i googled the above but did not find much.

My handset has a setting to "use Linux (EEM) USB tethering" option which i checked. Plugged the handest into the TCL
laptop but nothing seemed to happen.

What extensions do i need on 4.3.1 to get it working?

------------------------------------------------------------

i know that about 6 months ago somebody created the MODS so that you could "blutoothe" tether a 3G internet signal from
a cell phone.......

but really i want to tether over usb not blutooth.........and its a wi fi signal that i want to tether over cable

if you know how to do it can you please tell me

thanks

I've had internet tethering working using bluetooth/blueman relatively recently and I'm pretty sure I had it working via a usb cable several years back.

I'd guess you'd need libimobiledevice, usbmuxd and some googling...

oh ok

its a droid handset......so this isn't simply gonna work out of the box?


hmm


---------------------

another side topic....below

do you know much about the ndis wrapper?..............where do i get that as a TCZ of it?..... and install it and use it?

do i also need the win32 INF FILE  of the wi fi dongle in question?

is there a tutorial for it?

No - as said you'll probably need libimobiledevice, usbmuxd and maybe ifuse - these can be used to bring up a usb internet connection with an iPhone using gnome-session in corepure64

do you know much about the ndis wrapper?..............where do i get that as a TCZ of it?..... and install it and use it?

Did you search on ndiswrapper in the apps gui?

[cast-fish]

Yes Juanto,

forgetting the handset USB tehtering for a moment

i can see the "ndiswrapper" in the repo. How do you use it?

my wi fi dongle here is BCM bla bal compliant.  "voyager 1055"

1) i load up the NDIS extension....follow the instructins and point it to the win32 .inf file for my dongle

then what?

is there any GUI for doing this?

If you have the correct windows driver (not all of them work) and followed the instructions in the ndiswrapper info file, it should create wlan0 or similar (you can look at dmesg to see if things worked).

After that, you need something like:

Code: [Select]

sudo udhcpc -b -i wlan0 -x hostname:box -p /var/run/udhcpc.wlan0.pid

[cast-fish]

right

so there are no specific gui's for aiding in setting up ndiswrapper.

Follow the instructions in the info file then your final line above should
connect the wi fi?

If you're lucky

thanks Juanto,

yeah, it probably will work if its the right driver.....will give it go later. its TCL 4.3.1 here and the extensions are available in the repo.

It's often the easiest to use the phone to create an AP, then connect to that wirelessly from the laptop. It can even charge via USB at the same time
