Here is script that is tested on Fedora 15/16 and OpenSUSE 12.1 with Nokia N900/N950/N9.
Connect the device with usb cable to your host pc and run following commands
sudo /sbin/ifconfig usb0 up 192.168.2.14 sudo /usr/sbin/iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -s 192.168.2.15/32 -j MASQUERADE sudo /usr/sbin/iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT echo 1 | sudo tee /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
# Rest of these are here just to print something that is needed for the device to get routing work. NAME_SERVER=`cat /etc/resolv.conf | grep "nameserver" | head -1` echo "echo $NAME_SERVER > /etc/resolv.conf" echo "route add default gw 192.168.2.14"
Making NetworkManager Ignore the Device
At least on my Ubuntu 12.04 machine, NetworkManager seems to get a bit confused when I insert the USB cable (it tries, and retries, without success, to automatically to set up the network connection to N900). This is how to make NetworkManager ignore the device:
Plug in the USB cable, and check the MAC address (HWAddr) of usb0:
/sbin/ifconfig
Write this to /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf (replace the address with your device's address):
[keyfile] unmanaged-devices=mac:FA:B5:04:7D:39:2B
Restart NetworkManager (this command works on Ubuntu 12.04, restarting services may be done differently on different systems):
sudo service network-manager restart
