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

ALBUQUERQUE (n.)
A shapeless squiggle which is utterly unlike your normal signature,
but which is, nevertheless, all you are able to produce when asked
formally to identify yourself. Muslims, whose religion forbids the
making of graven images, use albuquerques to decorate their towels,
menu cards and pyjamas.
