Comment 9 for bug 900802

Additional note: After a hint from Debian package maintainer Paul McEnery I have found out that the ipheth-utils package is not actually needed on an Ubuntu desktop system. All iPhones up to the 4 should work out-of-the-box on Ubuntu Desktop system, for the 4S it is enough to patch the kernel as described in this bug report. After loading the rebuilt "ipheth" kernel module the USB tethering with the 4S works out-of-the-box, too. I have tested this now on an Oneiric box which has never seen the ipheth-utils package.
