* Implemented mtetherd as status plugin
* Enabling and disabling USB networking is now possible via the GUI
+ * When a device connects, a banner is shown to notify tethering is being enabled
+ * There are some issues with routing, cause unknown (netfilter and/or g_ether are suspected)
+ * hildon-status-bar-usb displays the USB dialog each time networking is enabled or disabled. No workaround known.

mtetherd (0.1-1) unstable; urgency=low
Package: mtetherd
Architecture: any
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends} iptables (>= 1.4.6), bluetooth-dun (>= 1.1), dnsmasq (>= 2.45)
-Description: Enable tethering via USB networking and Bluetooth PAN
- mtetherd allows you to use your N900 as an Internet router.
- Once a USB network or Bluetooth PAN connection is opened to the device,
- it will automatically configure networking and start a dnsmasq instance
- that serves DHCP requests and forwards DNS queries.
- You can also use it to automatically configure network interfaces
- for development.
+Description: Enable tethering via USB and Bluetooth
+ mtetherd allows you to use your N900 as an Internet gateway.
+ Just connect to your device via USB or Bluetooth, and networking and
+ routing will be set up automatically through DHCP.
+ You can also use mtetherd to configure network interfaces for development.
.
- USB networking can be enabled and disabled via the status menu.
+ USB networking is not activated by default, but a button is provided
+ in the status menu that shows networking status and toggles it.
.
- IP addresses are now assigned in a more dynamic way.
- 192.168.255.0/24 is reserved for all network interfaces,
- each of which gets a /30. The first network device will thus receive
- the following configuration:
- IP: 192.168.255.1
+ IP addressing:
+ Each network interface gets a /30 IP range from 192.168.255.0/24.
+ The first device will be configured as follows:
+ N900: 192.168.255.1
Netmask: 255.255.255.252
- DHCP address of partner: 192.168.255.2
+ Address assigned through DHCP: 192.168.255.2
+ The second device gets 192.168.255.5, and so on.
