Android phones can be USB tethered via RNDIS protocol on Windows and Linux. As far as I understood Apple does not provide RNDIS driver for OSX. Are there RNDIS drivers for OSX by third party (Android vendor) or community? I don't want to use any any app for tethering, I want the real thing, as other operating systems can do it, so please no suggestions for alternative methods. |

Since then, this driver has come out. It's FOSS too. |

RNDIS is a Microsoft-proprietary protocol and it's highly unlikely that Apple is going to support it just for the sake of Android tethering. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNDIS Your best chance is for a 3rd party to write a Mac OS X driver for RNDIS. Don't expect this to be free (as in beer) though. However you should be able to use the Android phone as a USB dial-up modem, which was the standard way for tethering before the iPhone came about and still a supported method in OS X and others. |
