Tethering your iPhone in Ubuntu

This is a delightfully easy one. First, add this repository and update your apt:

sudo add-apt-repository
ppa:pmcenery/ppa

sudo apt-get update

Now install the following three packages (you may have to go dig for them):

libimobiledevice-utils
ipheth-dkms
ipheth-utils

Restart your machine.

Turn on tethering inside your iPhone's General > Network menu.

Cable your iPhone to a USB port.

It should automatically connect. You'll see it in Network Manager.

Poof. Magic.
