Download PdaNet for Android (last update 5/17/2011) Mac OS destop client. Note: if you are upgrading, please open Terminal (under Applications->Utilities) and run ~/PdaNetUninstall.sh then reboot first.
If you have installed PdaNet before upgrading Mac OS to Lion, you need to uninstall PdaNet and reinstall it.
The current version supports Mac OS X 10.5 or above (Leopard/Snow Leopard/Lion), both 32 bit and 64 bit. It does not work on older hardwares like the PowerBook or iMac. Here are the setup instructions:
1. Download and run the installer on Mac. At the end of the installation you will be asked to reboot your Mac. After rebooting you should see the PdaNet icon on the menu bar. (figure 1)
2. During installation PdaNet will add an ethernet interface ("en2" in most cases) to your network list. If the network preferences window pops up, just selected "Apply" with the default DHCP settings. If it doesn't, please bring up network perferences manually to make sure it uses DHCP. (figure 2)
3. On your phone go to Settings->Applications->Development and check "USB Debugging" (figure 3).
4. Now you need to add PdaNet to your phone side. On the Mac click on the PdaNet menu bar icon and select "Install PdaNet to Phone" then wait for it to complete. After this launch PdaNet on the phone and enable USB Tether.
5. Now when you connect your phone to the computer, you should see the menu icon changes state, click on it to connect. When the icon stops blicking and turns blue, your computer should be online.
Network traffics on the Mac will go through PdaNet only if your system does not have other connectivities.
