Usb tethering not working

After you install drivers or change them you NEED to reboot to make them take effect…
Only if you don’t update at all, like a static server, you can get away with not rebooting for that long…

Yes, I will remember that. I did update before but didn’t restart…

Thanks!

If I may add to what @linux-aarhus posted, I have encountered this issue what I found was that ModemManager service was running, this will cause the system to think the USB device is a modem, like a DSL modem, or something to that effect.

Check to see if the service is running:

sudo systemctl status ModemManager

If it is running, temporarily disable using:

sudo systemctl stop ModemManager

If it fixes the issue, disable it from starting at boot:

sudo systemctl disable ModemManager

To start the service again

sudo systemctl start ModemManager
