Hi all, got the SF for my GF yesterday, rooted, MCR installed and (eventually!) adb drivers sorted successfully :lol:

Barnacle installed and working for WiFi tether etc.

But....

Wired tether is not supported by ROM and when installing "Wired Tether for root users" which I use all the time on my Hero it tells me that the required functions are not enabled in my Kernel B)

Has anyone had success with wired tether?

How did you do it?

Many thanks!

And great work as usual Paul B)

I'd like this too, as wired tethering has the advantage of maintaining phone charge from the host laptop's USB. Can anyone help?

Don't mean to point out the obvious..but why not just plug it in and use wireless tether?

This would actually be of great interest to me too. If USB tethering worked then I could connect it to my office desktop for non proxy restricted internet access. I would certainly rather not have to install a USB wifi adapter.

I'm on Paul's R4 rom. Does anyone know how to make this work?

Oh sorry I misread your earlier post lol.

I thought you wanted just normal tethering not reversed.
