I agree with Mark. Have you received the GB update? I know not all N1s have received it yet, so I apologize if my assumption is wrong and you're still running Froyo. But I have had the same experience as Mark (and I am running gentoo) where it is almost as plug-n-play as you can get. (Assuming you're running GB):
1) Plug in usb to phone and computer 2) Enable usb tethering in Wireless & network settings 3) Tethering & portable hotspot 4) USB tethering (check) As root: ---snip--- ifconfig usb0 up dhcpcd usb0 ---snip--- I don't believe the tethering experience was much more difficult in Froyo, but I could be wrong about that. - Matt On Tue, May 3, 2011 at 9:53 PM, Mark Shields <laebsh...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Tue, May 3, 2011 at 3:21 PM, Grant <emailgr...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Does anyone know if a Google Nexus One cell phone can be USB tethered >> to a Gentoo system?
