Tether via USB
Tethering your iPhone via USB uses a iPhone Ethernet driver written by Diego Giagio. Paul McEnery has set up a PPA repository with the driver and it’s dependencies so there is no longer the need to compile both ‘libiphone’ and ‘ipheth’. The first step is to add the PPA repository to your Synaptic repositories. To do so, open a new Terminal window and execute the following command

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

Tether via Bluetooth

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:blueman/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install blueman

If you have an error Unable to mount iphone you need to upgrade libmobiledevice

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gwibber-daily/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
