Hi,
I have previously used tethering via USB with my Sony Xperia SP phone. This no longer works. I noticed this on snapshot 20151014.
I am running NetworkManager + KDE 5 on a W541 Thinkpad.
I captured journalctl output and pasted it below (mobile so can’t format, sorry )
When plugging in I get the following output:
Oct 20 10:52:34 rombert.example.com kernel: usb 3-1: new high-speed USB device number 38 using xhci_hcd

Oct 20 10:52:36 rombert.example.com kernel: usb 3-1: usbfs: process 2591 (ThreadWeaver::T) did not claim interface 0 before use
And the ‘did not claim’ message repeats itself 30-40 more times.
After enabling tethering on the phone I get

Any ideas about what is going on here?
Thanks,
