USB tethering

You can share your phone's data connection with a computer using a USB
cable.
To use USB tethering, you may need to install your phone's driver on the
computer or establish a network connection, depending on your computer's
operating system. If your computer runs Windows 7, Windows Vista, or a
latest Linux operating system (such as Ubuntu 10.4), you can use your
phone's USB tethering function without configuring any settings on the
computer. If you are running an earlier version of Windows or another OS,
your PC will identify and install a driver automatically.
