USB networking: tethering

For networking the bq supports tethering via an USB device. Connect the phone with your Linux, FreeBSD, ... whatever workstation and run the
following in the terminal app:

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
android-gadget-service enable rndis
</syntaxhighlight>

that will switch the USB port in the phone from '''MTP''' to '''tethering''' and create a 'rndis0' network device whith the IP addr '''10.42.0.1''' (seems to be static or configured); at the same time it offers to the connected computer an IP via DHCP (somehow it takes sometime);

And SSH is fine too as:

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
ssh phablet@10.42.0.1
Welcome to Ubuntu Utopic Unicorn (development branch) (GNU/Linux 3.4.67 armv7l) >
</syntaxhighlight>

The routing to Internet works as well fine and all is '''NAT'ed''' behind the best interface to use (wlan0 if Wifi is up too):

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
netstat -rn
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface
0.0.0.0 192.168.2.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 wlan0
10.42.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 rndis0
172.28.23.131 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ccmni0
192.168.2.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 wlan0
</syntaxhighlight>

How can I set it as default to rndis enabled?

Oliver Grawert:
you cant, it is hardcoded on boot to always have working mtp (until
here is a UI option to turn it on or off, we want regular users to
lways be able to exchange files), but you can override it in a user
pstart job that runs at a later point ...

create /home/phablet/.config/upstart/rndis.conf with the following
content:

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
start on started indicator-network

task

script
android-gadget-service enable rndis
end script
</syntaxhighlight>

when the interface rndis0 is enabled, somehow HTTPS access to
the Ubuntu's app store is no longer possible; investigating further ...

SSH access through Wifi

How to get SSH access to the ubuntu-phone via Wifi:

Login via terminal app, you will be user 'phablet' (the password is the unlock number).

Enable SSH service with (remains after boot):

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
android-gadget-service enable ssh
</syntaxhighlight>

Fetch your public key to the Phone from some place:

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
wget http://www.from.your.site/id_rsa.pub
mkdir .ssh
chmod 0700 .ssh
mv id_rsa.pub .ssh/authorized_keys
</syntaxhighlight>

Now you can look up your IP on the phone and use ssh to connect:

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
ip addr show wlan0|grep inet
</syntaxhighlight>

from your workstation use:

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
ssh phablet@IP-addr-from-above-command
</syntaxhighlight>

SSH-in is even possible when the device is locked and black; don't know
if this is intention that it does not suspend; the configuration goes like this
