Thanks guys, the wifi hotspot works great but I can't get USB tethering to work. I don't seem to have the usb0 device, even after enabling USB tethering in the settings: # ifconfig /dev/usb0 up /dev/usb0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device Any ideas? I'm on Android 2.3.3. - Grant >>> Does anyone know if a Google Nexus One cell phone can be USB tethered >>> to a Gentoo system?
