I tried this on Tumbleweed, it may or may not be a Suse or`even a Linux issue.
For USB tethering there is a switch to turn ON, once ON the comnputer is supposed to recognize it and net browsing may begin (the way I understand it no other action being required). I don't know if NetworkManager would show the usb cable or what?
NetworkManager will see a new network interface. What it will do depends on the interface type. For wired interfaces NM normally tries to autoconfigure them.
Does a new interface appear when you activate tethering?
No. It's my first smartphone. If I try to 'add' a new connection in NetworkManager I don't know what connection type to select, USB via a phone isn't really wired and it isn't really wifi either.
That is not what I asked.
Yous aksed if a new interface appeared, I answered with no.
I asked whether new interface appeared and you started to describe NetworkManger GUI.
Same result if booted into Slowroll but if I try it under Artix (also set up with Plasma and NM) it works and shows up as a 'wired connection' or 'wired-connection-2' if ethernet is already plugged in.
So it sounds like some drivers are missing. You could start with rebooting, connecting your smartphone and providing the dull output of dmesg command. Upload to https://paste.opensuse.org/
It would be more useful if you also described what you did capturing this log. Different devices appear multiple times so it is probably more than just connecting your phone.
The Android thing seems to be recognized, it would have to be in order to allow file manager transfers (which it does) but that's it.
In Artix it coughs up what looks like a driver "cdc_ether"
As can be seen from this log the driver is rndis_host and this driver is blacklisted by default in openSUSE. Do touch /etc/modprobe.d/50-blacklist-rndis.conf and try again. You can also simply do modprobe rndis_host to preload this driver for testing. If it still does not work, show dmesg output again.
