Bug Description
Reporting this against network manager for want of better information. Sorry for the imprecise report - I will be glad to observe and update. Since upgrading to 16.10 I have had problems with my USB "ethernet" network connection provided by a tethered Android 2.3 device. Initial connection works well, but after a while Ubuntu looses connection, indicated by the nm-applet icon switching to "wifi connecting". Ubuntu seems unable to obtain an IP address. Neither rebooting the laptop nor restarting the phone help, but after a while the problem goes away on its own. In the meantime I am able to tether using the phone's wireless hotspot functionality.
