Re: connect to internet via android phone as usb-modem

Hello,

I've changed the hack to now check for a udev environment variable
'NM_PSEUDODRIVER'. If set, the lack of a driver is ignored.
The /etc/udev/rules.d/easytether.rules declares this if an easytether0
device is detected.

If need be I can revert it to check for 'easytether' in the code, but I
think the udev rule based approach is better.

Bye,
Torsten
