Using your phone as a modem on Linux

We all know that you can use your phone as a modem in Windows (if not try this: How to Use Your Windows Mobile Phone as a Wireless Internet Modem - Blog)

But what if you are using Linux, specifically Ubuntu and want to connect on the move?

Here's a solution from a colleague at work:

Get connected to the internet
open a terminal
run these commands

sudo apt-get install subversion
svn co http://synce.svn.sourceforge.net/svn...usb-rndis-lite
cd usb-rndis-lite/
make
sudo ./clean.sh
sudo make install


---Connect---

Ok you only ever need to install the driver once
All you do now is open Comm Manager on your phone and click on the Internet Sharing
Now make sure USB is selected and choose connect

Now plug your phone into the computer.

If you have no current connection, then the RNDIS will become the active one
If you are already connected in some other way you will have to click on the Network Manager and select it

That's it

Happy Browsing
