Show HN: HoRNDIS - an Android USB tethering driver for Mac OS X

I plug my android phone and it works as a USB modem. I can use it in OS X or Linux (as /dev/ttyACMx). Am I missing something?

(My old Nokia used to do the same thing)

You might be missing out on an easier way to do it. When I plug my Nexus S into Ubuntu and enable tethering, Network Manager recognises a new Ethernet device, acquires an IP address via DHCP, and I'm connected. I've never had to configure anything on the computer.

Oh NM recognises the device but didn't work properly when I tested

I prefer using wvdial because it allows me to see what's happening and fix something if needed
