 |
|
Has anyone managed to tether a Pixel over USB? I followed the instructions at https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Android_USB_Tethering but haven't been sure which modules I need. I tried enabling almost all of them but still don't see the usb network driver.
Here's what's in /var/log/messages:
| Code: |
Apr 23 08:39:25 maya kernel: usb 3-6: USB disconnect, device number 2
Apr 23 08:39:25 maya kernel: usb 3-6: new high-speed USB device number 3 using x

Am I missing a step?

justin_brody,
I've done USB tethering with several Android phones on Gentoo
The phones expect to see Windows on the other end of the USB tether, so you need USB_ETH_RNDIS in your kernel.
| Code: | │ Symbol: USB_ETH_RNDIS [=y]
│ Type : bool
│ Prompt: RNDIS support
│ Location:
│ -> Device Drivers
│ -> USB support (USB_SUPPORT [=y])
│ -> USB Gadget Support (USB_GADGET [=m])
│ -> USB Gadget precomposed configurations (<choice> [=m])
│ (2) -> Ethernet Gadget (with CDC Ethernet support) (USB_ETH [=m])
│ Defined at drivers/usb/gadget/legacy/Kconfig:130
│ Depends on: <choice> && USB_ETH [=m]
│ Selects: USB_LIBCOMPOSITE [=m] && USB_F_RNDIS [=m] |
When you plug the two ends together' the Android end will ask what you want to do with USB.
The default is charge only. You need to change to share the phones internet connection.
At the PC end, the interface will be called usb0. However, its created dynamically so it won't show until its actually in use, like ppp0
