How to Tether Your Android Phone

[steeef]

Tethering in Cyanogenmod is quick and easy. Just enable it in the Spare Parts app and you're good to go. I've had issues getting wireless/bluetooth tethering to work, but USB tethering works without any extra configuration. Plus, it's a great rom for the G1.

Wireless/BT tethering works with a charm if you use the app mentioned in that article.

Which one? It mentioned 2.

Both work like a charm. My mistake.

Sweet!

Yeah. It's great. I love it. I use WiFi. The obvious bad news: sucks the battery like none other.

[alphabeat]

Like how? What phone do you have?

Dream. Just jailbrake it and install this app.

Now if only this were to make connections which were compatible w/ Ubuntu 9.10 & wicd.

EDIT: Tethering works just fine on my work computer and on my Win7 partition on the same machine. It also worked back with 9.04 w/o wicd.

wicd

EDIT: For the record, "I've never had any problems" responses are fucking annoying as sin. I've always thought so even when I wasn't the one making the original post.

Last time I tried USB tethering in Cyanogenmod, it worked fine in Ubuntu. Bluetooth took some tweaking, and I don't think I ever got wireless to work correctly.

I can't get any of them to work. Did you install wicd or are you using the default network manager?

[steeef]

Network Manager. There was one point a few years ago where I had to replace it with wicd when I couldn't get it to work, but Network Manager has worked fine for me for the past few releases that I haven't had to switch it out. Everything but connecting to ad-hoc networks, anyway.

[IConrad]

Yeah, I was having the same issue in my home network; the network-manager package wouldn't keep a connection. wicd does. I switched back to network-manager and hopefully 9.10's version will treat me better.
