Mmm... No such luck. The only interfaces visible to plinth are the 3 usual ones: one internal connected to the internal network (enp3s0), one internal not connected (enp2s0) and the WAM interface connected to the ubiquiti router.

Of course my first impulse was to run lsusb, but it's not installed. The only hint I get is from $ cat /proc/devices Character devices: 1 mem 4 /dev/vc/0 4 tty 4 ttyS 5 /dev/tty 5 /dev/console 5 /dev/ptmx 7 vcs 10 misc 13 input 21 sg 29 fb 128 ptm 136 pts 166 ttyACM <=== this is the device 180 usb 189 usb_device 251 tpm 252 bsg 253 watchdog 254 rtc and upon connection the proper device is created: $ ls -l /dev/ttyACM0 crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 166, 0 Feb 11 12:30 /dev/ttyACM0 As expected, the device goes away when the usb phone is disconnected. So, the kernel and the usb sub-system see it. Incidentally, this is on a freshly upgraded system to 9.1 as of April 26, 2016. I managed to update/upgrade (sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade per the instructions) without having an internet connection on the outside interface by creating /etc/apt/apt.conf with this in it: Acquire::http::Proxy "http://192.168.200.7:8118/"; This pointed apt to an internal machine (on the internal network) running privoxy on port 8118. On that machine, the usb tethered phone provided the internet connection. Since this only re-directs apt, the downloading of the certificates failed. Yes, crappy solution but that's all I have at the moment. I'd really like to be able to use the usb tethered phone as an outside interface on the freedombox itself, with all the services pointed to it. Any hints?
