I am trying to get a centos 6 system on the internet with a tethered iPhone. I can see the phone with lsusb as bus 001 device 011. A post on stackoverflow said I would need to run "# ip link set usb0 up && dhcpcd usb0"
But how do I reference my phone in that command?
I thought that if the phone is in tethering mode that is all you need to do. The command is saying setup an 'ethernet' port on the USB and to ask for a dhcpd command from it. If the phone allows tethering it will be using its USB as an ethernet connection and will see a dhcpd connection and will give out an ip address.
Seems something else is using usb0 - without the phone connected I see something on usb0 when running ifconfig. I think it's some internal network. I tried running those commands when the phones be was connected but the system still is not on the internet.
