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.
Bringing up network on your PC
After plugging USB from your device into your PC, issue:
ip link set usb0 up # this one might not really be necessary ip address add 192.168.42.1/24 dev usb0 ssh root@192.168.42.2
To also have the devices use your PC network, log into the devices:
The default password is toor
. (user: root
)
And then add the following route on the device:
ip route add default via 192.168.42.1 # if this fails, first run ip route del default
On your PC, issue:
# (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
Make sure that forwarding is also allowed within iptables itself, enable it with iptables --policy FORWARD ACCEPT
Now your Leste device should be able to use your PC network
On PC (as root):
ifconfig usb0 up 192.168.42.1 ip route add default via 192.168.42.2
On Leste (as root):
iptables -A FORWARD -i wlan0 iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -s 192.168.42.1/32 -j MASQUERADE echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/wlan0/forwarding
If you want to share the wwan instead, switch out wlan0 for the wwan (e.g. on the Droid that is 'wwan3').
Notes
- The default IP address is configured in
/usr/sbin/pcsuite-enable.sh
