.Dd November 24, 2015 .Dt IPHETH 4 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm ipheth .Nd "USB Apple iPhone/iPad tethered Ethernet driver" .Sh SYNOPSIS To load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in .Xr loader.conf 5 : d -literal -offset indent if_ipheth_load="YES" .Ed
p Alternatively, to compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file: d -ragged -offset indent .Cd "device uhci" .Cd "device ohci" .Cd "device usb" .Cd "device miibus" .Cd "device uether" .Cd "device ipheth" .Ed .Sh DESCRIPTION The .Nm driver provides support for network access through Apple iPhone and iPad devices, often referred to as USB tethering.
p .Nm should work with any Apple iPhone or iPad device. In most cases this must be explicitly enabled on the device first.
p For more information on configuring this device, see .Xr ifconfig 8 . The device does not support different media types or options. .Sh HARDWARE The following devices are supported by the .Nm driver:
p l -bullet -compact t Apple iPhone tethering (all models) t Apple iPad tethering (all models) .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr arp 4 , .Xr cdce 4 , .Xr intro 4 , .Xr netintro 4 , .Xr urndis 4 , .Xr usb 4 , .Xr ifconfig 8 .Xr usbconfig 8 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm device driver first appeared in .Fx 8.2 . .Sh AUTHORS .An -nosplit The .Nm driver was written by .An Hans Petter Selasky Aq Mt hselasky@FreeBSD.org . .Sh BUGS Some devices may need to be manually configured to use an alternative configuration with the .Xr usbconfig 8 utility. A command similar to .Dl usbconfig -u 1 -a 2 set_config 3 may be required if the device is not recognised automatically by .Nm after it is connected.
