Minicom: enable iptables note

Currently, devices that are supported by Maemo Leste will automatically set up USB networking if you plug them into a PC.
Mass Storage may show as an option, but doesn't do anything useful yet.

== Share PC network with Leste device ==

To also have the devices use your PC network, log into the devices:

<pre>
ifconfig usb0 up 192.168.42.1
ssh root@192.168.42.2
</pre>

The default password is <code>toor</code>.

And then add the following route on the device:

<pre>
ip route add default via 192.168.42.1
# if this fails, first run ip route del default
</pre>

On your PC, issue:

<pre>
# (Maybe only one of these two echos is necessary)
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/usb0/forwarding
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -s 192.168.42.2/32 -j MASQUERADE
</pre>

Make sure that forwarding is also allowed within iptables itself, enable it with <code>iptables --policy FORWARD ACCEPT</code>

Now your Leste device should be able to use your PC network

== Notes ==
* The default IP address is configured in <code>/usr/sbin/pcsuite-enable.sh</code>
