If your phone is anything like my phone (G2, Gingerbread) that has the same |
| 18 |
option, you should be able to do the following (I did this on an Arch system |
| 19 |
late last week, never tested on Gentoo but should work): |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
ifconfig usb0 up |
| 22 |
dhcpcd usb0 |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
That should get you online. |
