Be sure to set your desktop to enable ip forwarding,
and if you have a firewall enabled on y our desktop,
be sure to add a rule to allow packets to/from your USB
interface. Also, your main interface should NAT packets
from your USB interface, otherwise, your will not be
able to connect your phone to the public net.
Yea, but that is all stuff to worry about after
I find hardware that actually works :-).
I should also be sure to setup wireless security
and not broadcast my SSID, etc. (so as not to
attract the MIS department's attention, who
would surely tell me I'm not allowed no matter
how secure I make the interface :-).
