I am running Fedora 24/25 with NetworkManager but any Linux will most likely expose the same issue.Įther 00:00:00:00:00:00 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) My previous phones Samsung S4 and S5 are tethering without a problem. It seems that this issue was introduced with with Samsung S7 (android 6.x and 7.x). And the Linux network stack does not operate with a 'zero' mac address at all. The problem is that Samsung S7 send an invalid/broken Mac address: 00:00:00:00:00:00. The proper network setup is never done to allow any IP connection with the phone itself. Goto 'Settings -> Connections -> mobile hotspot and Tethering' and enable "USB tethering".Īndroid will now enable tethering with the Linux host and Linux should consequently acquire an IP address from the phone. Connect your Samsung S7 via usb to your favorite linux machine.
