Tethering and Linux

[phalcon]

Has anyone tried tethering via USB in Linux? When I plug my phone in and choose internet sharing and select done the 3G connection immediately disappears and it tells me my sprint PCS vision username/password is not correct even though 3G works fine on my phone. I'm given to understand it should just immediately connect without any configuration in Ubuntu 10.04. Anyone else have any input? Thanks!

In Ubuntu, I plug in my Evo, select Internet Sharing, and Ubuntu's network manager immediately sees usb0 and connects to it. Works for me.
