hi,

yesterday i stumbled over
libicd-network-usb
which seems to be the perfect solution to another one of nokia's blunders.

but, whenever i try to use that, i only get

"Internet connection failed. Unable to retrieve IP address from server. Try again?"

looks like it tries to retrieve a dhcp lease -- which imo makes no sense. who sets up a dhcp server just to connect his n900 via usb?

instead in /etc/network/interfaces i have

auto usb0
iface usb0 inet static
address 192.168.2.15
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.2.14

which works perfectly well and brings up usb0 with ip and stuff when pluging in usb and switching to PC Suite mode.
but the moment i try to connect via the "usb network" from libicd-network-usb, ip gets lost and above printed error appears.

what am i doing wrong?

and btw: how do i cleanly uninstall that thing again? after installation i had to issue three gconf commands

gconftool-2 -s -t string /system/osso/connectivity/IAP/USB/type USB
gconftool-2 -s -t string /system/osso/connectivity/IAP/USB/name 'USB Network'
gconftool-2 -s -t boolean /system/osso/connectivity/IAP/USB/autoconnect true

and since gconf is gnome's "We're worse than Windows' Registry!" attempt, i don't really know if and how i have to revert these commands ...
