I'm on Ubuntu 10.10, but I don't have this problem.
Check "Settings\Apllications\Development\USB debugging" it must be checked.

USB debugging is on. I can see tether icon in notify area, probably this linked 
to Fedora 14.

the OpenEve kernel is somewhat older then original android-msm-2.6.32.

but I have found some related patch at the CodeAurora project.

this fix will be included in the next kernel/boot image.

USB tethering still not work on boot-gb234-110509-rndis-224mb.zip & 
update-gb-sensor-110509.zip. I did try on my Ubuntu & windows 7. Are there 
another tips how to do that? But I notice another icon of tethering will appear 
on status bar if check both the usb tethering & Portable Wifi Hotspot (circle 
blue icon). .

still not working for me...
i've downgraded to openetna to make sure i didn't have a problem with my pc and 
i can see that the right kernel modules are loaded:

rndis_host              4816  0 
cdc_ether               3472  1 rndis_host
usbnet                 13240  2 rndis_host,cdc_ether

with the following kernel messages:

usb 2-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 26
usb 2-1: New USB device found, idVendor=1004, idProduct=0ffc
usb 2-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
usb 2-1: Product: GW620
usb 2-1: Manufacturer: LG
usb 2-1: SerialNumber: 42
usbcore: registered new interface driver cdc_ether
rndis_host 2-1:1.0: usb0: register 'rndis_host' at usb-0000:00:1d.7-1, RNDIS 
device, 02:ec:91:c0:7d:6a
usbcore: registered new interface driver rndis_host

and ifconfig -a tells me i have a new usb0 network device...

on the other hand with openeve (latest boot/system images) no modules are 
autoloaded apart from cdc_acm and even unregistering it and loading manually 
the right modules above i still can't see any usb0 device...

attached the logcat after enabling usb tethering, thank you.

@skun // OpenEVE kernel is different from OpenEtna's
kernel version of OpenEVE is 2.6.32 but OpenEtna's is 2.6.35.

so rndis behavior also different.

you don't have load any other modules for rndis with OpenEVE.
----
to activate USB tethering you have to use boot-gb234-xxxxx-rndis-xxx.zip
like as boot-gb234-110509-rndis-224mb.zip

with "latest boot/system images" i was referring to 
boot-gb234-110509-rndis-224mb.zip and system-gb-20110514a-snapshot.zip. and no, 
still no usb0 interface...
i know the kernel are different with the two roms but how do i suppose to use 
usb tethering under openeve with my linux box when it was plug&play under 
openetna?

I use system-gb-20110514-snapshot with boot-gb234-110509-rndis-236mb.zip. I did 
not do fastboot -w when flashing from system-gb-20110506-snapshot system, and 
usb tethering work fine on my windows & ubuntu. When I was on 
system-gb-20110506-snapshot system I used boot-gb234-110509-rndis-236mb.zip, at 
that moment I think usb tethering work, but it didn't work. After I flash the 
new system, usb tether work.

sorry to ask, but how did the usb tethering works on windows 7?
i use system-gb-20110514a-snapshot and boot-gb234-110509-rndis-236mb, but i 
don't think the usb tethering works.
The notification under USB tethering always shows USB connected, even it's not 
plugged into. when i tick the USB tethering, it shows tethered but i dont see 
any notification in my desktop.
so far i only use portable wifi hotspot and it does work fine for me. but i 
think its better by usb since battery wont drain faster i suppose?

I try new snapshot system and found USB tether still not work, so I back to 
system-gb-20110514-snapshot.zip which I've been backup before. And it's stange 
while other people still have no usb tether work on their device which use same 
system with me. Would you help me how to compare the system in my device with 
other?  

Original comment by SamSamb...@gmail.com on 3 Sep 2011 at 1:50

[GoogleCodeExporter]

yes. Some patch to enable the RNDIS device (for USB tethering) is missing.
and I have already checkout the missing patch but... RNDIS device does not work 
correctly.
there are also something wrong with the latest GB 2.3.5

I guess the behavior to enable RNDIS driver is changed so I have to check the 
difference between GB 2.3.4 BETA with the latest GB 2.3.5

this is USB state related thing.

the RNDIS enabled correctly but USB state is not correctly determined
that's why tethering state is immediately turned off.

above patch is just a guide. I diffed OpenEtna-froyo with the latest GB 2.3.5 
trunk and I got the following simplified patch.
It will be applied to the next snapshot.

The change in the  boot-gb237-111015-224mb-r188 is not very good. Disconnects a
