How to setup usbip for connection to cell phone

[jbbum]

Looking for the extensions necessary to get cell phone connected through usb for tethering.

I seem to recall somebody had networkmanager working with a mobile to make an Internet connection in piCore-9.x

If it is for android usb tethering you don't need anything more of base tc.
Now I don't have tinycore started but going by memory you have to:
1) connect the phone
2) activate usb tethering
3) open the graphical interface for network management
4) set usb0 as interface name
5) select dhcp

and it should work.

Guess I need to explain my need.  I have the pi3 onboard wifi setup as an AP.  Basically, I want to use the pi as a wifi repeater by connecting to a cell phone using usb tethering because eth0 is not available.

The setup is headless.  No gui.

Modemmanager/networkmanager have a cli interface.

I think I need to start over.  Raspbian has the ability to recognize the usb tethering of a phone.  It registers usb0 as a device and gives it an ip.  Then you can ping over it and get a response.  I am looking for the extensions necessary to make this work on piCore without using network manager.

Hi jbbum
You might need the  usbip  kernel modules extension.

[jbbum]

Hi Rich.  I loaded those modules but no usb0.  Swapped with the net-usb modules and now have the usb0.
rndis_host 1-1.4:1.0 usb0: register 'rndis_host' at usb-3f980000.usb-1.4, RNDIS device, aa:34:06:61:71:7b
[   91.231022] usbcore: registered new interface driver rndis_host.
 Now have to find a procedure to access the interface driver.

[jbbum]

ifconfig -a does give a usb0 device

[jbbum]

I can now get usb0 setup by "sudo ifconfig  ${interface}  ${ipaddr}  netmask  ${netmask}  up"
But, can't access it.  Did a ping -I usb0 but no results.

Hi jbbum

... Did a ping -I usb0 but no results.

I don't see an IP address included in that command.

[jbbum]

Did the ping to 8.8.8.8.  No results except over eth0

[Rich]

Hi jbbum
What happens if you try to ping a local address, like your router or another computer?

[jbbum]

Hi Rich  Can't ping anything on local network because not connected except eth0.  usb0 is to tether to a cell phone and use that as access to the internet.  There is no wireless connection to local network.
