ICS on Windows Mobile 6

I am trying a how-to for getting Internet Sharing (the new term according to http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/arc … h-dun.aspx).  The tutorial is for Ubuntu so I need some help getting it to work under Arch.

svn co https://synce.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/synce/trunk/usb-rndis-lite
cd usb-rndis-lite/
make
sudo ./clean.sh
sudo make install

All that worked, then I am supposed to enter this:

BOOTPROTO='dhcp'
BROADCAST=''
ETHTOOL_OPTIONS=''
IPADDR=''
MTU='1460'
MRU='1500'
NAME=''
PEERDNS=no
NETMASK=''
NETWORK=''
REMOTE_IPADDR=''
STARTMODE='hotplug'
USERCONTROL='no'
_nm_name='static-0'

into this file: /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-rndis0

As far as I can tell that is the file representing a network device.  My question is where is the equivalent file stored in Arch?

Any thoughts?

Re: ICS on Windows Mobile 6

Okay, after continued searching....

I installed synce-odccm

pacman -S synce-odccm

started dbus and hal

/etc/rc.d/dbus start
/etc/rc.d/hal start

now when I run odccm in the foreground, I can connect my device and it will detect it allowing me access.

odccm -f

:(However, this may work for some of you, but not me   (At least for the interent, I can access the files with this method.)

I have a Blackjack 2 and AT&T removed the interet sharing feature, so I am back to the pre-WM6 method of DUN connecting (by setting my device into modem mode (Settings -> Connections -> USB -> Modem)).

Looking for the ppp options for AT&T Wireless is my next task.

My previous post seemed to work, and my question was not necessary (the program installed from svn must search for the device there).

More developments...

Setting my BJ2 in modem mode, then connecting it to my laptop and reading dmesg for the tty it was assigned to (/dev/ttyACM0 in my case).

then I edited /etc/ppp/peers/1xdun:

debug debug debug
nodetach
/dev/ttyACM0
115200
connect "/usr/sbin/chat -f /etc/ppp/1xdun"
nomultilink
defaultroute
noipdefault
ipcp-restart 7
ipcp-accept-local
ipcp-accept-remote
lcp-echo-interval 0
lcp-echo-failure 999
modem
noauth
nocrtscts
noipdefault
novj 
usepeerdns

With this I can now connect:

pppd call 1xdun

But alas, even though I can connect, DNS is messed up (I can ping google by IP only).

Any thoughts?

Oh yeah, the file referenced in the /etc/ppp/peers/1xdun (1xdun) above is:

ABORT BUSY ABORT 'NO CARRIER' ABORT VOICE ABORT 'NO DIALTONE' ABORT 'NO DIAL TONE' ABORT 'NO ANSWER' ABORT DELAYED ABORT ERROR
SAY "Initializing\n"
'' ATZ
OK-AT-OK ATDT*99#
CONNECT \d\c

Is there anyone who have succeded with this yet?
I got an HTC Touch Pro and dhcpcd gets an ip from the phone but internet seems not to work.
