   I guess the easiest way, is if you manage to start a hotspot service on the   
   phone. Then you will get a wireless ethernet where the name and the password   
   for the network is configured on the phone.   
      
   Another option might be to connect to the phone via bluetooth.   
   If you start drakconf, and click on Set up a new network interface, i think   
   there might be some solutions there.   
   I don't remember if you have to do some basic bluetooth configurations on   
   the pc first, go pair with the phone.   
      
   There many years since i have bean running bluetooth, and i don't remember   
   all the details.
