Hello everybody!

Now that I have a mobile data plan, I wanted to try out USB tethering with my Nexus 4. After executing

android-gadget-service enable rndis

The connected PC (Windows or OS X with HoRNDIS driver) recognizes a new network device, but doesn’t get an IP. On the phone a network device usb0 appears, but it doesn’t have an IP. I noticed a file /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/tethering appearing with the following contents:

[802-3-ethernet]
duplex=full
mac-address=

[connection]
id=tethering
uuid=ca16a21d-7d8b-4b49-926e-
type=802-3-ethernet
timestamp=1425385307

[ipv6]
method=auto

[ipv4]
method=shared
may-fail=false

Note the truncated UUID and the missing MAC address. Did I forget something or is this a bug?

Kind regards,
Fabian
