iPhone USB Tethering to RPi

iPhone Tethering to Raspberry Pi

Instruction

On RPi

  • sudo apt-get install usbmuxd
  • connect iPhone

On iPhone

  • Trust

On RPi

  • Then install a branch of this ... (I'm not sure, is it require?)
  • sudo apt-get install gvfs ipheth-utils libimobiledevice-utils gvfs-backends gvfs-bin gvfs-fuse ifuse -y
  • Then check your iPhone connection
  • ifconfig -s
  • You would see the eth1 for your iPhone (If case eth1 doesn't existing at the first time)
    • If you have eth1 at the first time before you plug an iPhone
    • You need to check which Iface shown after you plugged an iPhone

Set RPi dhch network

  • dhclient -v eth1
  • add following command in /etc/network/interfaces
allow-hotplug eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp
  • sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

OR Share internet connection to eth0 using wifi-to-eth-route.sh by changing wlan0 to eth1 wifi-to-eth-route.sh

Purpose

Due to iPhone wireless hotspot using the 2.4Ghz signal which easies to interfere from other same frequency radio signal.

In my dormitory, we have many 2.4 Ghz signals that affect my wifi sharing stability. =w=


PS. If I do wrong grammars, please tell me to fix na~ 'w'

Hello,
I did it with wifi-to-eth-route.sh.
On my Raspberry Pi:
hostname -I
192.168.2.1 169.254.191.254 172.20.10.2

Can I set up local static IP somehow?
