Any suggestions on what is known to work would be appreciated.
Are you certain that this is the only way you can tether to your phone?
Modern phones also offer a mini or a micro USB jack. Just for giggles, I
plugged my new Nokia via the USB cable. The phone automatically offers me a
"PC Suite" or "Data Storage" connection mode. In data storage mode, I
get a
boring mount of the SD card inside the phone. If I choose "PC Suite", the
"Mobile broadband" option in Network Manager appears out of nowhere, and I
get a menu entry to set up a new broadband GSM connection.
Since I do not have a data plan I haven't really tried it, but it certainly
looks like it will work.
