Hello,

Once I enable android tether mode, there is no new ethernet interface because module rndis_host is not loaded. If I manually load it, the interface is correctly detected.

I'm using android-udev-rules but it does not hint about a driver, like in (from ArchLinux doc):

ACTION=="add|remove", SUBSYSTEM=="net", ATTR{idVendor}=="18d1" ENV{ID_USB_DRIVER}=="rndis_host", SYMLINK+="android"

yes, we disabled RNDIS via a blacklist entry, as its currently considered insecure.

on tumbleweed, remove:
/usr/lib/modprobe.d/50-blacklist-rndis.conf

to reenable it.

alkso future kernels will not have rndis anymore.
