What are the steps to use iPhone 3G internet tethering via USB on Ubuntu 10.04? Is there software I need to install on Ubuntu for this? The tethering works fine on Windows.

Follow this how-to: Getting iPhone Internet Tethering Working in Linux (No jailbreaking involved!)
Diego Diagio created an iPhone kernel module called "ipheth".
It will be available in the kernel with version 2.6.34.
This module will register your phone as a network interface and you can simply use it with your dhcp-client or network manager.
Set up the Ubuntu Repository:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pmcenery/ppa sudo apt-get update Install the Kernel Module:
sudo apt-get install gvfs ipheth-utils After that, enable tethering on your phone and connect it with your computer. Use dmesg to check if the device was recognized. Usually you will now have a new networking device, like /dev/ethX. Use it in your network manager or use dhclient, for example:
dhclient eth2 In addtion: My android phone registres as usb0, so it is dhclient usb0 to do the trick.
If you problems getting the repository to work, see the project page for further information.
Advantage: No jailbreaking and additional port binding / proxys are required
