[SOLVED]Internet connection via usb tethering from android

Hi Guys,

I have a Samsung GT-S7392 Trend android 4.1.2 phone.

It used to connect easily to my laptop when I was on most linux distros.

While everything else worked just fine with Salix, I am having tough time in making Salix to detect this USB tethered internet connection.

Any ideas or hints or guidance or links to guide/tutorials is much appreciated

Thanks in advance.

I found solution. Just run following command as root.

Code: Select all

dhcpcd usb0
Example

Code: Select all

root@mypc:~# dhcpcd usb0
dhcpcd[25323]: version 6.0.5 starting
dhcpcd[25323]: usb0: soliciting an IPv6 router
dhcpcd[25323]: usb0: soliciting a DHCP lease
dhcpcd[25323]: usb0: offered 192.168.42.132 from 192.168.42.129
dhcpcd[25323]: usb0: leased 192.168.42.132 for 3600 seconds
dhcpcd[25323]: usb0: adding host route to 192.168.42.132 via 127.0.0.1
dhcpcd[25323]: usb0: adding route to 192.168.42.0/24
dhcpcd[25323]: usb0: adding default route via 192.168.42.129
dhcpcd[25323]: forked to background, child pid 25366


everything works fine :)
