Activate the tether on the connected phone an check if it is registered as a network interface by running 'ip addr' if not check the dmesg. If the phone uses regular android tether and not some funky custom tether by the manufacturer it should register as a rndis USB ethernet device.

There is no "funky" software in use. On another rpm linux portable pc, mobile phone internet is enabled, the usb cable plugged into computer and a dialogue window appears to confirm connection to the phone. extracts below of dmesg output: [ 0.846957] systemd-udevd[40]: starting version 212 [ 0.882331] i8042: PNP: PS/2 Controller [PNP0303:KBC,PNP0f13:MOU2] at 0x60,0x64 irq 1,12 ...

I don't use a network manager and SystemD makes it just work for me when I connect the cable. There are instructions for configuring a network on the Network wiki page. (Basically just ip link set *interface* up)

Maybe he needs to install the android-udev package so udev can recognize the Android device?

Installed this package, but had no visible, known effect.

Original Sender, could you check if you have more than one cable interfaces?

Does dmesg output above inform?
