Do I have to root the Pre to be able to turn usbnet on the Pre, or can I do it via the pre emulator?

thx

Usbnet can be enabled using the app. It will prompt you to enable it with a button that will do it for you.

BETA VERSION, only for BETA TESTERS

Here it is guys, beta of 1.2.0.
[code]
cd /tmp/
mount -o remount rw, /

wget http://vz.aonic.net:8080/~raja/pre/net.aonic.my-tether_1.2.0_all.ipk
ipkg install net.aonic.my-tether_1.2.0_all.ipk

rm net.aonic.my-tether_1.2.0_all.ipk
mount -o remount ro, /

/usr/bin/luna-send palm://com.palm.applicationManager/rescan {}

I have tried that. When I click on enable usbnet, it returns with no error, but the slider still says off.

I'll try the beta and see if that works any better.

also, turning off services from your GUI still resulted in a reboot of the Pre

Turning usbnet off/on requires a reboot no matter what. if the problem is with rooting into your phone with usbnet, you can modify your ssh on your phone to allow you to SSH in over usbnet, there's instructions in the wiki.

the wifi network should be PreNet, make sure your wifi connection on the pre is turned OFF before you enable wifi tethering

Ok, I am really sorry if I am being dense. I'm just missing something.

With the 1.2 version, if I open up the my tether app, and click on the services button, then slide dhcp and usbnet to on, and then close the dialog box, and then open it again, dhcp shows on, but usbnet shows off. If I slide the usb tethering slide on the top to on, a dialog box comes up and there is a green option that says enable usbnet. I click on that and the dialog box closes, but the slider on top still shows off.

If after doing these things I reboot the phone, usbnet still shows off. I have both ipk's (the tether app and the webosservices ipk) installed via the palm emulator.

What am I missing here?

Thanks,
Mike

s4mb4: Try toggling DHCP off and on after enabling wifi tether.

andidendel: thank you! 1.2 seems to be good so far

mike: usbnet doesnt seem to be sticking for you, go in as root and type these commands:
[code]
usbnet enable
reboot
[/code]

Seems I can join the WiFi network, but no go on getting a DHCP address so tethering won't work.

I have however altered /etc/dnsmasq.palm.conf on my own to enable SSH over usbnet as part of rooting my phone. Your app doesn't seem to see my DHCP being enabled though?

Any way you setup the adhoc WIFI and Proxy it through the EVO Radio? Bypass all this USB, and BLUETOOTH driver stuff? Do you need Root Privileges to change the routing tables?

Not a programer but have done this on other linux boxes but dont really want to root my Pre.

Is there any way to do this without having to root the phone? I am running 1.0.4. I really don't want to take the chance of screwing things up, but will if I need to. There doesn't seem to be an easy to way to root the phone from the emulator it appears.
