I was wondering if anybody has any experience using their BB as a tethered modem in a Linux environment. I run Ubuntu on my desktop and I love it so much I want to install it on my laptop too. The tethered modem issue is the one and only thing stopping me.

Not me.

I've been struggling with this for months. I found one post on ****************.com that claims they can do it with their 8100, but i can't get it to work on my 8830. different networks perhaps make the difference? Not sure.

here's one of the sets of instructions:

I believe some people have had good results with XmBlackBerry, although I haven't been able to get that to work (I can't seem to get one of the dependencies peoperly installed).

This can be done. I've read about it multiple times, I'm just too lazy. I'll research it myself, I'll favorite this thread - and get back to you. I'll try it out with my laptop today.

Ugh. This is not going to be easy. Lots of compile errors in XLT, and a few other programs these guides refer to..

Looks like I'll be doing this solo. Might take awhile.

I've been able to compile everything except the opensync plugin directory. Here is the error I'm receiving:

Any ideas? I was receiving an error before with opensync-xml.h missing so I installed the compiled the opensync package from CVS. I also tried to use the opensync-3.0.0.tar.gz as well. Any have a work around?

[tavella81]

Nevermind. did some more research and found a copy of the file on the opensync website. Had to copy and paste it in to a text document. I've attached the opensync-xml.h that allowed me to compile the opensync folder in the XmBlackBerry folder. Place the file in /usr/include/opensync-1.0/opensync.
