Bug ID: 361141
Summary: No automatic connection with USB tethering from
Android phone
Product: plasma-nm
Version: 5.5.5
Platform: openSUSE RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
In KDE Plasma 4, connecting an Android phone to a USB port and activating the
USB tethering (on the phone side) resulted in the automatic creation of a
"ethernet" connection in NextworkManager.
In Plasma 5, the same steps lead to a change in Plasma NM icon (from red to
white with a blue cable) but nothing more. No connection is created. A
connection must be manually created and restricted to usb0. The problem is,
since the phone seems to be creating a new MAC address everytime, these
additional steps are required everytime.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Connect an Android phone (tested with Lollipop 5.1) to a USB port of the
computer
2. Activate USB tethering on Android
Actual Results:
The icon in Plasma-nm is changing from red to "white with a blue cable" but no
connection is created and the computer is still offline
Expected Results:
A connection using usb0 as a device should be automatically created (as in KDE
Plasma 4) and Plasma-nm should automatically connect to it.
