Description:
With the attached patch, Iphone 5 is able to tether following instructions upon: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/IPhone_Tethering
I built my kernel incorporating the attached patch from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net.git and it works. I don't know why this patch simply isn't in the stable kernel. But since I noticed you do a lot of patching in any case, perhaps you will add it?

* config and/or log files etc.

Looks like that patch will be included in Linux 3.7:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=commit;h=e657e078d3dfa9f96976db7a2b5fd7d7c9f1f1a6

(Listed as number 17 in the above commit.)

I don't see a reason to patch it in our kernel, but the package's maintainers have the final say.

Thanks Evangelos, Is there an ETA for 3.7?

Also, maybe I'm a fool. How do you edit a task to ask [linux] to it? https://twitter.com/kaihendry/status/262106113078620160

Developers and bug wranglers handle task assignments and edits.

New kernels come out every 2–3 months and 3.6 was released on 2012-09-30. So expect 3.7 in a month or two.
