I’ve tried tethering my iPhone via it’s USB cable (for internet access), and I get a new ethernet device added, but I haven’t been able to get a valid connection via NM. (It seems that the iPhone has no DHCP server running, but I suspect that this may not be all there is to it.) However, I do get connectivity when I configure the iPhone to act as a AP. That’s about all I can offer.
