ipheth for Debian
-----------------
The Debian version of ipheth provides the following binary package:
ipheth-utils - pairing utility for the iPhone tethering Linux kernel driver
iDevice USB tethering requires the device to be paired with the system
that it is connected to. There are a number of ways that the device can
be paired. If your desktop environment supports Apple File Conduit (AFC),
and allows you to browse the contents of the device via the afc:// location;
then you probably don't need this package. If however your system doesn't
have a graphical environment, or doesn't have any other elements that support
AFC; then this package will be useful for carrying out the initial pairing.
In order for the initial pairing to be successful, the security passcode
on the device might need to be disabled. Once pairing is complete (see
dmesg output), the passcode can be re-enabled.
Once paired and connected via USB, the driver which is included in the
mainline kernel since April 2010 (2.6.34) will present a network device
to the operarating system for configuration. The network device should
be visible, and can be configured via ifconfig(8) or similar utilities.
