I have a Windows Mobile device I use when my Internet has gone out, and I hook it up to my laptop and do Internet Connection Sharing through the ethernet jack. I've had this phone work in Linux Mint and have it show up in Elive (although not the Internet part). I'm wondering if I can set it up so eBox finds it on the fly and knows what it is.
This particular phone shows up as ID 0bb4:0b2e High Tech Computer Corp. in lsusb.
but it comes up as 0bb4:0303 High Tech Computer Corp. when connecting as a Modem. Although it's not really a modem because it's got its own DHCP server and creates an Ethernet interface in eBox that it is the DHCP server for. It works if I am using Active Sync mode, but not Internet Connection mode.
The reason I ask is because eBox is built as box designed for many functions via a simple web interface. I'm sure, provided the drivers get installed somehow, that it can support this sort of an interface, that would be a great way to have an alternate connection method if my main source of Internet ever goes out.
If I can get this out, I hope more people can see this post and use their phones in the same way.
