I am trying (what others have already done) - i.e to tether other interfaces via the eth0 interface. i.e to share the eth0 interface unlike the current 3G/GPRS (ppp0 interface).
But I am trying to do that from the framework - Tethering.java As I understand - The lower layer NETD @ /system/netd/ doesn't put a restriction as to which interface can be shared. So when currently I enable USB tethering - which module is placing a restriction to use the 3G/GPRS connection or the ppp0 interface? I want modify the framework (say add a new menu entry under some BoardConfig.mk macro - if BOARD_HAVE_ETHERNET) and allow the usb0 or the wifi0 to tether the local eth0 connection ... So, please provide some pointers - as to which modules forces usage of ppp0 interface, and is it possible to set up the Tethering via frameworks - without writing a new EtherController.cpp sort of handler for NETD (Since I don't think anything is necessary to be done to setup eth0 to start sharing...)
