Use an USB tethered phone as network adapter Centos server

With my HTC WildFire and my archlinux, I just have to enable USB tethering and then plug the USB cable into both my PC and the device. Then in a shell as root run the following commands:

# modprobe usbnet # if not already loaded
# ip link set usb0 up && dhcpcd usb0

if you don't have dhcpcd, try typing dhctab.

If no problem occurs, you'll be able to list interfaces and IP with:

$ ip a s

and you will see a line for usb0 (or such).
