does anyone know of any apps that are out there for usb and/or wireless tethering that will work with linux without having to root the eris? the only one i know of is pdanet but it doesn't work on a computer running linux (which is what i have my wife running on her laptop) and my wife didn't let me root her phone before she left to go home for a couple weeks and where she is staying doesn't have internet.
Barnacle? But I don't know what it will or will not work with.

So I was assuming since Windows 7 comes with like drivers for everything, I'd be ok, but apparently I'm not. I'm dropping my ISP this week. I can't justify paying $30/month for the same internet connection that USB tethering my phone can provide me. I plugged it in to Tether and I get a failed driver install. Windows knows that it's an android phone, thats about it though. Can anyone point me in the correct direction??
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate, 32bit
Phone: Hero CDMA w/ CyanogenMod 6.0 and a kernel that allows 768mhz OC.
It does come on windows 7. Could be your cable, try another to make sure. And what rom? If it's sense, you have to use htc sync software. If it's cm, google wired tether for root users and use that instead of the built in one, the built in one has bugs with htc phones.

So it turns out the drivers weren't on Windows 7. Once I could find them, I was ok

I freshly flashed 2.2 cognition. I know I can do this through wireless ap, but don't have the funds to buy a wireless adapter.
I'm wondering if it possible to tether using usb? One more thing that will be a even BIGGER help, but not sure if the phone will allow it, is to do this tether using an existing wifi here so I don't have to use my limited data plan. I know it would be easier to move the xbox to the router, but unfortunately I'm not at my own place and don't want to deal with the constant bickering.

If I'm understanding you correctly, you want to tether your phone to your xbox and then have it connected to a wireless lan? Android has an option somewhere in the settings for USB tethering,but I have not messed with it since I had 2.1 stock. From what I remember. I had to install kies to my computer to be able to do usb tether. I'm fairly doubtful it would work with an xbox.
Anyone here with a cr-48 been successful at connecting with a wireless tether app with the captivate? I am having trouble getting it to work.
I cannot get my CR-48 to connect to my DINC either, I am running Cyanogen 6.1 with the wireless tether. So I would like to know if you have found anything regarding this situation.
lucky bastards.. i'd love one of those..
Anyone have some luck on this?
Yeah, I have a droid eris rooted running a cyanogen mod rom and an unable to get the wireless tether to work on my cr-48 either. It connects to my ipad just fine so I'm assuming it is the computer. Though thinking about it, I had issues connecting it to my other laptop running linux (ubuntu 10.10) so maybe it is something in the linux build.
I think it's because wireless tether uses adhoc. I have read that people can get it to work through usb, but that is no fun. I am trying it on a Droid X. I submitted a bug feedback asking Google if the CR-48 supports adhoc and if that is the issue.
i am currently using my cr48 via the wireless hotspot app on my htc desire - leedroid v2.2f - connects without a problem but i don't have 3G in my area so it's very slow.
I am unable to get the Wireless Tether to work, maybe something with my wireless card, but are there any working USB tethering apps?

In the settings of the WiFi tether app, enable "Routing fix" and it should work. It's necessary for HTC devices.
I can connect to it but Windows 7 is constantly sitting there saying 'Identifying' but I can never get internet.
I tried it on my Lenovo, as well as a Sony Viao.
I enabled Routing Fix as well.
Any ideas?
What version of the wireless tether app are you using. Try using different versions.

I've had this issue too but mostly with AOSP roms with built in wireless tether apps. I see you asked for a wired tether app so heres one http://code.google.com/p/android-wired-tether/downloads/list I know this works with CM7 cause I use it from time to time
A wireless tether app that worked for me is called "A Wifi Tether AP Mesh Client" made by Open Garden, Open Source. Worked every time for me.
I'm running the most recent stock rooted, that wired tether app does not work for me.
I would also like an app that works
Yes, I use an app called easytether (well I used to, before I rooted), its easy to set up and works great. Unfortunately I think it was removed from the app store as were the other usb tethering apps, but you can just go on 4shared and download it, and the app will tell you what to do from there

I have used both wireless and wired tether that is built in to CM7 with success, every time I have used them. You should give them a try.

I like PDANet, its free unless you need to use it for secured logins, vpn, ect.
Just Google wired tether made by the same people as wireless tether and if u can't find it there look on 4shared.com

Rooted, runny SynergyMod (Android 2.3.4), I was able to get Open Garden to work. Free in the market.
I'm using pda net without an issue.
For wired tether I use easytether pro
For those having problems with wifi tether....There is a trick to getting wifi tether to work. Turn wifi tether on and wait 5 seconds. Then turn wifi tether off. Once it stops, immediately turn it back on. Then connect to "androidtether" in your PC's wireless manager.
Enjoy
I ran across this thread looking for wireless apps, so I'll just say that barnacle works just fine (rooted Thunderstick GB 1.5)

The OP was asking for wired ones though
That being said, the wired tether app with cm7 works just fine for me.
I need help setting up USB tethering from my hero to my Mac. I'm using hero deck gingerbread rom and have the USB tether option available, but I don't know what settings to input on my Mac in order for it to work. Does anybody know? I know that I can use wifi tether but would prefer to go via USB since the phone gets so hot. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It's gonna get hot anyway it's the 3G radio that makes it hot and uses up the battery. You should just plug the phone in with usb and use the wireless then you can feel like you have a wired tether. If you plug in the phone to the computer you will burn the battery faster than the computer can charge it. Plug it into the wall to get a stronger charge.
I've found that I get faster speeds via USB on my ubuntu pc. I wish there was a way to get it to work via USB on my mac.

I used to use an app called pdanet http://junefabrics.com/android/ to tether to my mac.
It has two parts, an app for the mac and an app for the phone, you installed both and it set up a wired internet connection. Worked great for me.
the native usb tether dosnt work on mac for somereason however pda net and easy tether has a desktop client for mac that works.
or you could try usb tether from google.code it should work on mac
Thanks for the help! Pdanet works very well. It's very odd, at times I'll have solid download speeds and other times less than desirable speeds. I wonder why that is.
