description |
After #1421583 was fixed, there is now an option to share data connection using WiFi AP. However, I still rely on USB tethering in many cases instead of WiFi. The latest example was when I was without firmware for WiFi adapter after installing Debian 8.2. Luckily Nexus 5 with Android 6.0 offered an option to use USB tethering and I was able to fetch firmware.
Please add an option to have USB tethering in ubuntu-system-settings. This option shouldn't offer anything else than a simple "On/Off" switch. The interface itself should act as an Ethernet interface, the same way as Android does. |

-------------
This works today from the command line by running "android-gadget-service enable rndis" on the device. To restore mtp functionality its "android-gadget-service enable mtp"
Not sure where to present enabling and disabling of it, wifi hotspot seems similar but is only shown if there is a modem.need a Tehthering option somewhere. |
