You know, I had this running with one of my cell phones and not intentionally, I would plug the thing into one of my laptops and it would setup the usual connection to move files around, BUT it would also setup a network connection, trying to use the cellular as another network path out (as if the Ethernet and WiFi connections did not count) It was such a PITA that one day I got tired of having to go in and kill it so I went in and killed it for good.
But if you did an ifconfig you saw a network connection with assigned IP addys and all. I will see if I can get it to do so again, and try to see if I can get you the info on what it did. I did NOTHING to the system it did it all, the phone was and AT&T Android phone, a Galaxy S5 rugged.
