I’d guess that the awareness of a network connection is managed by conman and conman doesn’t observe that ethernet interface. In my previous SFOS upgrade process it happened that Silica didn’t start anymore and I could only connect through USB from my desktop. I set up routing on the phone but tools like pkcon didn’t work because they reported that conman said it had no internet connection.
So I’d suggest to figure out how to tell conman to observe your USB-Ethernet interface.
Hello Sailors
I just want to report you from my newly observation of ethernet-internet that it works partially , as it seems without limitations on the sfos-side, but on the android system i found, that (in my case) only conversations works, but telegram, fdroid, fennec, tutamail and all other android apps don’t establish internet via ethernet. It’s as i said, just a water level report and i don’t have any clue how to fix it for total connectivity. I would be thankful, if there is someone who knows how to tinker around this one! Greetings!
