I was using my FreeBSD with my HTC, which has USB tethering, but I have two options for tethering: Windows and Mac OSX. With Mac OSX it works fine, but now my HTC is broken. I have a ZTE Blade 3 now, but it has no Mac OSX option. When I turn the WiFi on and tethering, FreeBSD does not recognize it as ue0 or something, only storage. Can anyone help me with this? I have searched everywhere and can't find a solution.

I'm using FreeBSD 9.1.
 
Greetings,

I only have experience with the HTC (EVO), for use as both storage, and tethering on FreeBSD. While I have no experience with your new model, I wonder if it has anything to do with your "tethering" app. For example, my cell provider insisted that in order to have/use tethering, I needed to purchase it (as an additional service), even tho I had the app on my device. A bit of searching revealed that there was an Open Source tethering app on the Google code repository. Switching to the Open Source version, worked a champ; After starting it, then plugging it into my FreeBSD box. I had no issue(s) gaining access to the interweb from FreeBSD through my cell phone. :)

Well, it's been over a year. But the one I have installed appears to have come from a package/archive named wifi_tether-v2, or wifi_tether_v3. A search of the name "wifi tether" on the Google Code website should yield the results you need. It's open source, and I should probably also note that; given that it doesn't come from an official package repository/store, you may need to adjust the installation policies on your phone.

Best wishes.

Yes. That appears to be it, alright. You did take note, that your phone must be rooted. Right? Thought I should mention it, just in case. :)

Did you read all the documentation, like the FAQ? You should read as much of the documents, as appears to apply. :)

Best wishes.

P.S. You might also want to have a look in the XDA developer forums. Use the links on the left, to find the correct forum for your model.
