Hi Praveen,

I'm not sure about support for usbnet (networking with a phone via wired
USB).  But for Wi-Fi tethering:

That card should work with the iwn driver and doesn't need firmware:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?iwn

The examples on that page demonstrate connection to unsecured or WEP
networks using ifconfig.  But if your access point (the phone) uses
WPA/WPA2 you will need to use wpa_supplicant.

Once `ifconfig` shows the link is UP/associatiated, `dhclient` should be
able to configure the interface IP.

We should probably document common use cases such as this with a new
GNU_kFreeBSD/Wireless page on the Debian Wiki.  There we can explain the
manual procedure, whether it is known to work, and the status of any
helper utilities/GUIs.

Regards,
