We have recently covered how to use your Android phone to access the internet on your computer. This process is known as tethering. By connecting your phone, via a USB cable, to your computer you are able to use the phone’s data connection to browse the web on your computer. In places where there aren’t any wireless hotspots, tethering is incredibly useful.
Yikes I guess I was ahead of the curve I used this months ago but it is neat use of a phone but watch the battery they go fast, Baldy

After checking them both I decided on the Eris or the “mini Droid” as I call it. It fit my hand better and just felt “right”. The learning curve is fun and when I have all the options and programs figured out I will let you all know of the pro’s and con’s of the little rascal. I do know that my GMail works fine. LOL

Assuming you have managed to find a wireless card that is working well with your Linux distribution, or perhaps you just settled for a hack-n’-hope solution with NDISWrapper, you need to settle on an application that you can use to connect to your wireless network.
For vanilla GNOME and KDE-based installations, you are provided solutions out-of-the-box. The problem is – they do not always work for everyone. Because of this, I will be highlighting every option I can think of today.
