iThings are tyrants (Restricted Boot), so jail breaking is not enough.
I think that you are talking about installing, but about USB tethering, when
I was able to use USB tethering, the distro on the X60s was probably Debian.
I remembered it. So I guess that I cannot tether my iPhone to Trisquel 8
either with USB cable.
I see. I got it. I think I would try, though.
Wow, thanks for the info. OK, I will try install Replicant on Trisquel. S3
was cheap and I favor its design.
> I might... get some cheap smart phone for tethering.
Since you were able to libreboot your X60s, I think you would not find
it too difficult to install Replicant. You should be able to find a
Replicant-supported device[1] for pretty cheap. I have found that USB
tethering works pretty reliably
I wanted to try your suggestions but the trouble doesn't happen. Wifi
tethering is fine now. I have been connecting with the internet more than a
hour. But I learned some things, and it seems that it is better to avoid USB
tethering an iPhone to the machine. I might jailbreak this phone and

I highly recommend it. I find that a $7 PCI Atheros card works much
better than a $30 ThinkPenguin USB dongle, and now that you've installed
libreboot there's nothing stopping you.
> Both Wifi and USB tethering worked for me in
Or else try this command:
lspci | grep Ethernet
Certain Atheros WLAN cards are recognized as "Ethernet controller" rather
than "Network controller". This is true for the two possible Atheros cards
(AR5418 and AR5424) that come with X60 series. Since his computer doesn't
recognize any

Thank you. Yes I have just noticed that the problems might have started after
libreboot was installed, but not immediately after installing it. I removed
the Wifi card right after I got the X60s so the space is empty right now then
I have been using USB dongles. (maybe both

Hey Masaru, in regards to the wifi problem, did you replace the wifi card
that came with the x60s when libreboot was installed? that might be the
issue.
Hello. My iPhone has succeeded tethering with Trisquel 8 via USB cable
directly by default. I am currently using Trisquel 8 mini with the x60s (btw
librebooting succeeded, maybe, thank you very much) and I cannot do it with
mini. Currently some problems are preventing it from WIFI access (I
