Oli, I have not once been able to get usb tethering happening through 
those commands. Using a Nexus 4 - multiple installs, various channels 
(including stable), it doesn't work.

Running: android-gadget-service enable rndis makes the internet 
connection icon on my laptop look like it's connecting, but nothing 
happens - just keeps trying indefinitely and then cuts out. I've posted 
this previously, but have not had any response. I've been in a remote 
part of Indonesia this week, and it would have been extremely useful to 
have this functionality - nothing doing for the moment.

I'm happy to test this if you can give me an idea of what would be 
useful. For now, this feature is not working. I've tried this with 
Ubuntu 14.04 & 14.10 laptops.
