HTC Incredible Stock-Rooted Froyo won't Tether (Ubuntu 10.10 x64) #29

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Phone is recognized in Network Manager. This doesn't happen.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Version 1.4 on Stock-Rooted Froyo HTC Incredible with Verizon

Please provide any additional information below.

Tethering starts with no error messages, but the OS (Ubuntu 10.10 x64) doesn't 
appear to recognize the phone. It doesn't even appear to show up in lsusb. When 
I click Menu... Log, I see the following error:
"Configuring network interface... failed"

Everything else in the log succeeds. I replaced the stock "ip" with a symlink 
to busybox, which didn't fix the problem. I'm running out of ideas here.

I have the same issue.  G1 with this app works.  With my G1, as soon as I start 
the app with the usb connected, Ubuntu recognizes a USB network device.  
Nothing happens with the incredible, though.
rooted with SkyRaider Sense 3.3.4 Final

I would not consider this a bug, per-se. I just encountered it after 
discovering the project for the first time myself, so I threw together a bash 
script that does the same thing startint() does in 
native/tether/tetherStartStop.cpp, and discovered that on my setup (I'm running 
SkyRaider Sense 3.5), the kernel does not appear to have 
/sys/devices/virtual/net/usb0/enable (2.6.29) or 
/sys/devices/virtual/usb_composite/rndis/enable (2.6.32), which would indicate 
to me that the kernel installed by SkyRaider Sense 3.5 (which as I understand 
it, either is or is based on the stock 2.6.32.17 kernel released in the SP2 OTA 
update) does not support RNDIS. What would be nice is if the application would 
notify you if it cannot detect the requisite RNDIS support so you might have a 
clue of how to resolve the issue. If I get a chance to re-compile a kernel that 
has RNDIS support in it, I'll give it a whirl and see if it allows my 
Incredible to work properly with this project.

I've tried several (4-5) ROMs/Kernel combinations, none seem to include the 
aforementioned /sys/devices/virtual/net/usb0/enable or 
/sys/devices/virtual/usb_composite/rndis/enable  Not sure why these people are 
making releases without this ability.  Wired tether has been 100% reliable for 
me where as wireless is about 60% especially over extended periods of time.
