Hi All,

I have been using my Nexus 4 with Ubuntu Touch since the early days and
it's giving me the minimum I need for my use case.

One feature that has been challenging is internet sharing (aka tethering?).
As far as I know Wifi Hotspot is disabled due to undetermined behavior in
my device, so I use my phone as gateway by switching the USB driver to
rndis instead of mtp when I need it. This kind of works...

Questions:

1. What is the current status and near-term roadmap for USB/Wifi access to
the internet using an Ubuntu Touch device as gateway?

2. What's the expected out of the box status of the new Meizu Pro 5 with
respect to this?


I'm about to buy a Pro 5 for my father but not being able to share internet
access would be a showstopper for him (his only way of getting internet
access is using his mobile phone).

Thanks!
Felipe.
