Hi there. When I plug in my phone with USB connection option for tethering, the network adapter doesn’t show up inside KDE Plasma 6.
While searching for answers I have stumbled across USB Tethering. Installation.
I started following 7c6f434c’s instructions that were in the previously mentioned thread.
When plugging in, the change in ip link
is present:
10: wwp49s0f3u1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether ee:ed:c7:08:29:5f brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
altname wwxeeedc708295f
Previously, the device had enp
in the name and not wwp
.
I piped output of lsmod
to grep to find rndis_host
and cdc_ether
:
[nika@nixos:~]$ lsmod | grep rndis_host
rndis_host 28672 0
cdc_ether 24576 1 rndis_host
usbnet 65536 2 rndis_host,cdc_ether
[nika@nixos:~]$ lsmod | grep cdc_ether
cdc_ether 24576 1 rndis_host
usbnet 65536 2 rndis_host,cdc_ether
I don’t exactly understand what the number in the Used by
section of lsmod
means, but I think a 0
means it’s not loaded. Maybe I have to add it to boot.kernelModules
in my configuration?
