I have managed to set up my iPhone as a wireless network adapter within my Windows 7 virtual machine which is running within Ubuntu. Is there a way for Ubuntu to use the shared internet connection from the VirtualBox machine?

In order to clarify:

[Internet]--[Router]-Wireless-[iPhone]-USB-[Virtual Machine inside Ubuntu]

I can't access the internet provided by the iPhone in Ubuntu directily because the OS needs to have a modem driver installed in order to connect with the iPhone. So the obvious solution to me would be to use ICS in Windows (aka the Virtual Machine) to share the internet with the parent OS (Ubuntu in this cawse). Is this possible? If so, how would I go about connecting to the shared connection?

Thanks in advance :)

    @Mitch This is not dup. He wants to use guest os network to host (not host's connection to guest)

    @RafLance if you have make and all the build-tools already installed in your system you just have to download the source code and you can do that from anywhere and transfer this source on your pc with an USB pen or something like that.
