  SThanks! Incredibly helpful!

  A couple points.

  According to dev-team, you need to make sure that CommCenter remains executable. My version of ifuse (I’m running 9.10), did not support changing permissions on the mounted filesystem with chmod, so I had to go in with MobileTerminal and chmod +x the file.

  In the section on “Mounting iphone’s filesystem”

  1: If you have jailbroken with Spirit or Blackrain (rather than PwnageTool), you will need to add the afc2 service by installing the afc2add app from Cydia before you can access the root filesystem.

  2: Step 3 and step 4 are not consecutive: if you want to mount the root fs, do step 4 only.

  After following your instructions to get the native tethering option working on my 3GS running OS 3.1.2, I was able to get USB tethering working using packages from pmcenery’s PPA (rather than compiling from source as you suggest):

  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pmcenery/ppa
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install gvfs ipheth-utils

  Plug in iphone and tethering starts automatically!

  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pmcenery/ppa
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install gvfs ipheth-utils

  这样做了之后，系统并没有出现所说的网络设备 那么到底插上USB后怎么操作呢？
