The Android code also allowed for 'test interfaces'. I wonder why the author didn't go down that path.
The Android revert message is also interesting:
there are devices in the field using usbX interfaces for tethering
What's the problem with this?
- jeroenhd 1y agoFrom what I can tell, the code that the patch covered is responsible for configuring the network interface as a client. If another system on the phone brings up the interface as a host device to tether internet to a second device, you end up with the phone trying to configure the interface both as a router and as a client.
