+Example 1: Manual Configuration
+
+The  following  example shows how to manually configure network access
+on a device that is not automatically recognized.
+
+First,  load the driver and find out the unit and the address  of  the
+USB Apple device:
+
+# kldload ipheth
+# usbconfig | grep Apple
+ugen0.2: <Apple Inc.    iPhone> at usbus0, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=ON (500mA)
+
+In  this  example,  the  unit   and  the  address of the device is 0.2
+("ugen0.2"), and its configuration index is 0 ("cfg=0").
+
+Secondly, check what other configurations are available for  the  de-
+vice:
+
+# usbconfig -d 0.2 dump_all_config_desc | grep -E '(^ Conf|iConf)'
+Configuration index     0
+   iConfiguration =     0x0005  <PTP>
+Configuration index     1
+   iConfiguration =     0x0006  <iPod USB Interface>
+Configuration index     2
+   iConfiguration =     0x0007  <PTP + Apple Mobile Device>
+Configuration index     3
+   iConfiguration =     0x0008  <PTP + Apple Mobile Device + Apple USB Ethernet>
+
+In this example, there  are 4 different configurations available.  The
+configuration   with  index  3 seems to be related to Ethernet.  It is
+time to configure the device:
+
+# usbconfig -d 0.2 set_config 3
+# usbconfig | grep 'Apple.*cfg=3'
+ugen0.2: <Apple Inc.    iPhone> at usbus0, cfg=3 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=ON (500mA)
+
+At this point the Apple device  should ask whether the FreeBSD machine
+can be  trusted ("Mobile Data" has to be on).
+
+A new ue USB Ethernet interface should  become available:
+
+# dmesg | grep 'ue[0-9]'
+ue0:    <USB Ethernet> on ipheth0
+ue0:    bpf attached
+ue0:    Ethernet address: 4e:7c:5f:2c:5f:7a
+
+At this point it might  be necessary to run usbmuxd(1)  (available  in
+ports(7) at comms/usbmuxd):
+
+# usbmuxd --enable-exit --foreground    --user root --verbose
+
+Now it  is time to configure the network interface:
+
+# sysrc ifconfig_ue0="SYNCDHCP"
+ifconfig_ue0:  -> SYNCDHCP
+# service netif restart ue0
+
+That  is  it.   The machine should now be connected to the network via
+USB tethering.
