ipheth device not showing up

ipheth device not showing up

[Norbert Preining]

Hi everyone, 

(please cc)

since I didn't find a contact point for the ipheth driver I write here.
I am runnning git kernel from yesterday, and I am trying to get 
my iPhone connected to the laptop via the ipheth driver.

It actually looks good:
[46128.590402] usb 2-1: Product: iPhone
[46128.590407] usb 2-1: Manufacturer: Apple Inc.
[46128.590411] usb 2-1: SerialNumber: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
[46128.717504] ipheth 2-1:4.2: Apple iPhone USB Ethernet device attached

so it seems that there should be an ethernet device, but ifconfig -a
or any other way I can imagine to check does not show the new device.

Am I missing something?

Best wishes

Norbert

Sorry, forgot that, pairing program is called, but does not change
anything. It is called automatically by udev, but I also tried manually.

Have you enabled tethering on your phone?

Hi,

I've found some times when testing a proper network manager that it doesn't show
up using ifconfig but the kernel detects it (using /proc or /sys you can see the
device).

Have you tried an udev/dbus enabled network manager?
