NAME

       ipheth — USB Apple iPhone/iPad tethered Ethernet driver

SYNOPSIS

       To load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

             if_ipheth_load="YES"

       Alternatively,  to  compile  this  driver  into  the  kernel,  place  the  following lines in your kernel
       configuration file:

             device uhci
             device ohci
             device usb
             device miibus
             device uether
             device ipheth

DESCRIPTION

       The ipheth driver provides support for network access  through  Apple  iPhone  and  iPad  devices,  often
       referred to as USB tethering.

       ipheth  should  work with any Apple iPhone or iPad device.  In most cases this must be explicitly enabled
       on the device first.

       For more information on configuring this device, see ifconfig(8).  The device does not support  different
       media types or options.

HARDWARE

       The following devices are supported by the ipheth driver:

       •   Apple iPhone tethering (all models)
       •   Apple iPad tethering (all models)

HISTORY

       The ipheth device driver first appeared in FreeBSD 8.2.

       The ipheth driver was written by Hans Petter Selasky <hselasky@FreeBSD.org>.

BUGS

       Some devices may need to be manually configured to use an alternative configuration with the usbconfig(8)
       utility.  A command similar to
             usbconfig -u 1 -a 2 set_config 3
       may be required if the device is not recognised automatically by ipheth after it is connected.
