  ipheth: No tethering after update on 2010-09-27

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  Since the last update I can no longer use native iPhone tethering.

  The ethernet interface ("eth3" for me) that ipheth usually creates is
  not present.

  Steps to reproduce:

  1. Connect the iPhone USB charge/sync cable to the pc and the iPhone

  2. kernel recognizes the phone as an ipheth device:
  Sep 28 14:11:19 ProliantMK2 kernel: [ 6167.350154] usb 1-7: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 11
  Sep 28 14:11:19 ProliantMK2 kernel: [ 6167.534090] ipheth 1-7:4.2: Apple iPhone USB Ethernet device attached

  3. network-manager tries to do something:
  Sep 28 14:11:20 ProliantMK2 NetworkManager[1096]:    SCPlugin-Ifupdown: devices added (path: /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.1/usb1/1-7/1-7:4.2/net/wwan0, iface: wwan0)
  Sep 28 14:11:20 ProliantMK2 NetworkManager[1096]:    SCPlugin-Ifupdown: device added (path: /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.1/usb1/1-7/1-7:4.2/net/wwan0, iface: wwan0): no ifupdown configuration found.

  4. The wwan0 interface never comes up, the blue "Tethering" status bar
  never appears on the iphone, no tethering takes place.

  It looks to me like it's trying to configure the iPhone as a "Mobile
  Broadband" (Wireless Wide Area Network) connection instead of a
  "Wired" (Ethernet) connection.

  SSH-Tunnel tethering and USB access (filesystem, pictures, music etc.)
  are working, which tells me usbmuxd is probably fine.

  Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx):
   ipheth 1.0+git20100924-1ubuntu1~ppa3
   usbmuxd 1.0.4-1ubuntu1~ppa1
   network-manager 0.8.1+git.20100810t184654.ab580f4-0ubuntu3~nmt3~lucid
   kernel 2.6.34-5.14

  iPhone 3G 16GB:
   Firmware 3.1.3(7E18) (jailbroken)
   Baseband 04.26.08
   Carrier Softbank Mobile 5.0
