Enable wired tether on Droid X, Droid 2, Droid 2 global and Droid pro #32

This is more of a suggestion on how to get wired tether working on these 
phones. Motorola has replace RNDIS with their own usbnet on these phones. 

The usbnet can be enabled on a rooted phones by using the following command

#echo 1 > /sys/class/usb_composite/usbnet/enable

Currently the usbnet works only on windows machines. Like the RNDIS it creates 
a virtual Ethernet interface on the windows machine. The phone has a 
192.168.16.1 ip on usb0 and the pc get a 192.168.16.x ip address. 

It should be an easy task for the wired tether developers to add support for 
these devices.

I would really appreciate someone taking this on. I have a cr-48 and this seems 
to be the only way to tether with my rooted Droid X running 2.2.1. None of the 
wireless tethers work with the CR-48 :-(

this will not work on the cr-48 as there no linux drivers for the Motorola 
usbnet.

Would love to get this working for my CR-48 and my DroidX.

if someone can write the usbnet drivers for linux, this will work. Motorola has 
released the phone side driver code. Need someone to code the linux host side 
driver.

Ok, will include this in the next release (released within the next days). I'm 
not able to test it but will let you when a test-app is available for download.

@harald

I am able to get a working USB tether of XP to Droid X by doing the following.

1. If you haven't already, install motorola's 4.8 usb drivers.
2. Download wired tether 1.4 to your phone
3. Run wired tether.
4. Plug in phone.
5. Set to PC mode(new devices will install, if you haven't done this before).
6. Configure new ethernet interface to:

IP: 172.20.23.253
Subnet: 255.255.255.248
Gateway: 172.20.23.254

DNS1: 208.67.220.220
DNS2: 208.67.222.222

So 1.4 actually works, sans DHCP.  DHCP would be nice, though. ;)

This didnt work for me. It sees a connection but I don't get to the internet. 
This is on Windows 7 though.
Is there a setting that should be changed on the app side? I set the Lan 
network to 172.20.23.252/30 since that one made the most sense with the other 
changes.

I also installed 4.9 drivers since that is what was available. 
I also enable the usbnet through my terminal emulator

Milestone, Windows 7 64-bit.

Any updates on getting this working on the droid2 and linux?(or at all?)...when 
this 1st starts it says my kernel is not supported. I am dying to find a usb 
tethering option for my rooted droid2.
