iPhone Tethering v18.06.01

SOLVED, thanks for pointing me in the right direction for where to find the packages I needed. The basic resolve is to get the core usb stuff to work then make sure "usbmuxd" is running. That is the magic that detects the iPhone connection and brings up the interface. Took a few round and rounds to get all the dependencies it needed but I was able to source them from the various locations on OpenWRT.

You can also - as you directly asked (e.g. if you have an Atheros wireless chipset - Broadcom doesn't do this):

• It should offer to add it to a new interface WWAN

The overall concept is called a "routed client.". Set up a wifi Client mode interface that connects to the phone. Attach this interface as the WAN network instead of an Ethernet port. The standard configuration is for the router to route Internet requests from the LAN to the WAN, which means they will now go through the phone. You can also set up a regular wifi AP on the LAN to extend wifi range and allow more users than the phone hotspot does.
