If you're looking for a free and opensource tether option and don't
want to take the more drastic step of switching to Cyanogen for proper
USB tether support there is Azilink:

http://code.google.com/p/azilink/

It acts as an OpenVPN server running on the cellphone and implements
NAT.  You use ADB port forward over USB for USB tethering.  No rooting
of the phone required.  The "client" software is the OpenVPN client
for your respective platform with a special configuration file.

Hardest part is installing ADB and OpenVPN client on the client,
copying the config file and writing a two line script to start it all
up.  It worked well back when I used it and I even had OpenVPN to a
remote server tunneled within OpenVPN to the phone and I didn't notice
any problems.
