Has anybody ever got USB tethering working under FreeBSD?
I have seen it on a netbook running a version of Ubuntu Linux with network-manager, it was as simple as connecting an Android mobile phone with an USB cabel to the netbook and turning on USB Tethering in the Android network configuration menu, network-manager did the rest automatically treating the USB connection as wired networking, so no further configuration on the netbook required.
It has the advantage of using less energy than using the Android mobile phone as WLAN hotspot, so I would pretty much prefer that method.
There was some talk about the if_cdce kernel module, but the last discussion about USB tethering ended in August without definitive result.
So any news on that subject?
