Today (out of power for hours) I had to use my phone as a HotSpot
Sharing WiFi worked well
But USB thetering nope
I tried using my phone to provide internet to another laptop I have ( Debian / antiX LOL ) and it worked well (USB)
I don’t know where to start…
LSUSB show the phone, I chatted with a AI for a while but I think my openSUSE (updated today dup method) is missing something
Anyone have ideas ?
Note : i can still use WiFi in the future but would prefer USB
I work from home /myself but often travalling and this is important to me.
From GROK
“RNDIS host is disabled in OpenSUSE because it’s tied to Microsoft’s protocol, which isn’t universally stable. Some phones don’t play nice with it right away, and there’s a small security risk-malicious devices could exploit it. Enabling it requires specific kernel modules that aren’t auto-loaded to avoid boot issues or bloat on systems not needing tethering.”
If I use the command sudo modeprobe command, yes, it’s working, but when I’m done, do I need to do something to disable it?
“No, you don’t need to do anything after modprobe rmdisos-unless you want to unload the module to free memory, just run sudo modprobe -r rndis_host. It won’t auto-disable, but your system should be fine leaving it loaded.”
