Hi,
I’ve looked around and downloaded the Smpppd, kinternet, qinternet
and more trying to tether my Sprint Mogul through the USB to my OpenSUSE 11.0 to get it to user for the Internet connection. So
far followed a few threads but no luck. Is there a good link or info. on how to do this??? Any help would be much appreciated.
Tom

Well due to the lack of response and me really needing to get this done and being a newbie at OpenSUSE 11.0… I figured it out on my own… but if I can help anyone else out I will share…
first of all you need to go find a package called: usb-rndis-lite
You will only find the source code and need to check it out from sourceforge.net (I think, but you can search and find it). Then if you are a newbie like me just make sure you have EVERYTHING to compile it with, my one newbie mistake was “not” having the “kernel sources” package installed so it would not compile and kept bombing out… Once you have all that there is a config file you need to create and there are GR8 resource for usb-rndis-lite so go have fun and you can tether your phone and get on the internet…
The rest I will let you figure out on your own 
Take it easy!!!
