+This is a Linux Kernel driver that adds support for iPhone tethering through
+USB cables. Unlike other solutions out there, you don't need to jailbreak your
+phone or install third-party proxy applications.
+
+Attention: The ipheth kernel module has been accepted upstream as of Apr 21
+2010 for kernel 2.6.34.
+
+This module is still useful if you're running the stock Slackware kernel or
+the 2.6.33 tree. You still need an iPhone pairing program: this package will
+configure by default a modprobe helper based on ipheth-pair, an optional
+helper based on idevicepair from latest libimobiledevice releases is also
+provided.
+
+This package requires ipheth-pair.
