From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

USB Tethering from Android just stopped working [Fedora 42] (lemmy.ml)

Upon upgrading from Fedora 41 to 42, I noticed that the USB tethering just doesn't work

networkctl recognizes the device as "wwan" now, instead of "ether". If I load up a previous kernel, USB tethering works normally.

This seems to be a change in the kernel, and probably won't be reverted in the future. What do I do?

You know what? Fuck this. I just backed my shit up and installed Debian. Still, please try to look into this, this could be a problem for many others

I have a similar problem on OpenSUSE. The solution for me is running modprobe rndis_host.

This did nothing. I don't notice any change at all
