I can ping out, connected only via my cell phone, so it works here. I'm running 42.2.
Same here. First: I never do this. With WIFI tethering, why bother to cable up?
Battery and privacy. Not wanting other devices nearby, that know the password, to connect. Yes, you say connect to the charger. Means getting out the charger from the suitcase, and not forgetting to pack it again later. Yesterday I used WiFi.
But I plugged in (probably for the first time in years) with usb to my 42.2 machine an got a USB0 adaptor just like you, and was on line quick as a flash.
I had to set the phone to allow usb tethering, (it popped up a warning that it was set to charge only).
I also advise to check the USB cable to make sure you didn't pick up a charge only cable. (Wired differently).
This isn't an opensuse problem.
Yes, it is, my problem is with Network Manager configuration. I had to edit the text files, manually. Create a new file. * Once I did, it worked perfectly. * Check on connection properties what profile yours is using. Mine used the default ethernet profile, which is set on "manual" here. My question is how to tell NM to create a new profile for the USB connection so that I can edit it. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
