Hi there, i've recently acquired a pda (htc tytn) and a good data plan. Right now, i can access the internet from my computer by setting up the phone as a wifi ad-hoc station, but this takes so much battery, it's not the optimal setup.
What i would need is to use the usb cable to connect to the cell modem. But I'm a bit lost as to what to do... the documents i found on this don't seem to talk about the same things (there seems to be many ways of doing this...?) and many are out of date... I was wondering if any of you could give me a general idea of what i need (specially if you could clarify whats the best vocabulary to use in google) or confirm what I found so far... From what i understand, I believe i will need some kind of kernel module (device driver) which will turn the usb device into a networking interface. Then I think i would setup some kind of connection normally (is it PPP? or something else?). The cellphone would also need to be setup to share its data connection to usb (but this seems quite simple... the linux part is the problem). Thanks for help and pointers! Simon
