Unable to tether iphone's personal wireless hotspot on 13.10

  • 772

In Windows I could turn on person hotspot on the iphone, connect the iPhone via USB and it would recognize the iPhone hotspot and connect to it.

On Ubuntu 13.10, I can see my files on connecting to the iPhone but cannot see the network. iPhone tells me that there are three tethering options: Wireless, USB and Bluetooth. I would like to be able to use either of the first two options.

How can I use the iPhone personal hotspot with Ubuntu 13.10? Help would be greatly appreciated.

  1. For future visitors, the following package seems to solve my problem. The strange thing is, it never asked for a password (which does happen in windows) so might be a security issue for Apple in the future. (I tested it by switching off wifi to make sure I am using the 3G connection.)

    check this.
