not sure if you can do this even on a rooted phone. |

the trouble is that usb tethering starts a dhcp server running on the |
| 12 |
usb side, and also keeps it's own default gateway to 3G or wherever. |
| 13 |
you'd need to be able to setup routing on the rooted phone. |
| 14 |
for just web pages, you might try to setup squidproxy on the gentoo box, |
| 15 |
and then configure the phone to use the proxy server. |
| 16 |
or you might be better off with a usb wifi dongle for the gentoo box and |
| 17 |
setting up hostapd |
