Sharing internet over the USB on the Nokia N800

Sharing internet over the USB on the Nokia involves two processes

1) Setting up the USB Networking
2) Sharing the internet through the host machine.

Setting up the USB networking

I mostly used stuff from the maemo link


It worked most of the time.. the only event was the usbnet start script couldnt insmod the g_ether.ko module. I did that manually, and ifup usb0 to bring up the interface.

Sharing the internet through the host machine

Use the iptables stuff from here

I havent tried using the N800 native apps on USB networking yet.. I just need to use scp over the USB, and it works fine right now.
