Hello!

I don’t have bluetooth device, so I need to use the USB device.

I instaled the packages that you said and the my Ubuntu 9.04 recognized the iphone like a modem. But the problem is: when my notebook try to get an ip with dhcp, the Iphone don’t send to me the IP.

I tried the tethering with Windows XP and work’s very well, but the ubuntu can’t get an IP with dhcp.

Please.. help me!

Regards,

Great write up. The iPhone is truly revolutionary and I don’t like being without it. This time last year I had jumped in a pool with my iPhone and it was dead. I had to wait 10 days before I was able to purchasea new one. The phone I had was a cheap go phone. I really love all the apps that can be downloaded to the iPhone. The best part about the iPhone to me is the ability to check emails on the fly. Thanks for the information.

Hi,

It works well BUT….

Sometimes, the Iphone locks on BT connection after disconnecting the laptop without stopping internet tethering on the Iphone.

My problem is that I have a tethered jailbreak iphone and I can’t reboot when I’m on the road.
To fix this, you need 2 tools:
1. A process viewer like System Activity Monitor ( Available on Appstore )
2. An Iphone Terminal like Mobile Terminal ( available on Cydia )

To reset the bt connection, just search for the porocess id of BTserver and use in the mobile terminal: kill ( ex: kill 556 where 556 is the process id from BTserver )

By this way, you can get out of a blocking state of the BT process on your Iphone..

CORRECTION: I just got it working with my iPhone 3GS running 3.1 (not jailbroken) using the uit.sh script here:

The problem was I had to go to General -> Network and enable tethering… DUH! :S

I (regretfully) updated to 3.1 when I got my phone… BAD IDEA if you want tethering.

“If you use internet tethering on a carrier that doesn’t officially support it, you’ll lose it by going to 3.1.x. Stay back at 3.0 until a hack for that is developed.”

For me the steps were:
1. get the bluetooth MAC from iPhone =$iPHONE
2. echo “$iPHONE 1234″ > /var/lib/bluetooth/(my computer mac address)/pincodes
3. pand –role PANU –connect $iPHONE -n
4. ifup bnep0
5. dhclient bnep0

A pin code is required on iPhone 3GS – doesn’t have to be 1234

But still couldn’t have done it without you – Thanks

Bugger – I loaded this page on the iPhone but it dropped out before I could submit the comment and there is now ‘no route to host’.
