Public bug reported:
Since the last update I can no longer use native iPhone tethering.
The ethernet interface ("eth3" for me) that ipheth usually creates is
not present.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Connect the iPhone USB charge/sync cable to the pc and the iPhone
2. kernel recognizes the phone as an ipheth device:
Sep 28 14:11:19 ProliantMK2 kernel: [ 6167.350154] usb 1-7: new high speed USB
device using ehci_hcd and address 11
Sep 28 14:11:19 ProliantMK2 kernel: [ 6167.534090] ipheth 1-7:4.2: Apple iPhone
USB Ethernet device attached
3. network-manager tries to do something:
Sep 28 14:11:20 ProliantMK2 NetworkManager[1096]: SCPlugin-Ifupdown: devices
added (path: /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.1/usb1/1-7/1-7:4.2/net/wwan0,
iface: wwan0)
Sep 28 14:11:20 ProliantMK2 NetworkManager[1096]: SCPlugin-Ifupdown: device
added (path: /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.1/usb1/1-7/1-7:4.2/net/wwan0,
iface: wwan0): no ifupdown configuration found.
4. The wwan0 interface never comes up, the blue "Tethering" status bar
never appears on the iphone, no tethering takes place.
It looks to me like it's trying to configure the iPhone as a "Mobile
Broadband" (Wireless Wide Area Network) connection instead of a "Wired"
(Ethernet) connection.
This is actually a more accurate interpretation of the iPhone's
tethering as an internet connection, but something is missing and
Network Manager can't autoconfigure the interface.
SSH-Tunnel tethering and USB access (filesystem, pictures, music etc.)
are working, which tells me usbmuxd is probably fine.
