HoRNDIS(the USB tethering driver for Mac OS X)

HoRNDIS (pronounce: "horrendous") is a driver for Mac OS X that allows you to use your Android phone's native USB tethering mode to get Internet access.

For more information, visit the home page for HoRNDIS on my site.

Installation

From Source/Binary

  • Get the installation package (Download or Build the installation package from source yourself)
  • Run the installation package

From Homebrew

brew cask install horndis
sudo kextload /Library/Extensions/HoRNDIS.kext

Configuration

  • Assuming that the installation proceeds without errors, after it completes, connect your phone to your Mac by USB.
  • Enter the settings menu on your phone.
  • In the connections section, below Wi-Fi and Bluetooth:
    • Select "More..."
    • Select "Tethering & portable hotspot"
  • Check the "USB tethering" box. It should flash once, and then become solidly checked.

Uninstallation

  • Delete the HoRNDIS.kext under /System/Library/Extensions and /Library/Extensions folder
  • Restart your computer

Building the source

  • git clone the repository
  • Simply running xcodebuild in the checkout directory should be sufficient to build the kext.
  • If you wish to package it up, you can run make to assemble the package in the build/ directory
