I have recently tried out USB tethering to my android phone. What slowed my testing process down a bit was i3blocks showing the interface as down. However, the i3blocks ifstate script only just cats the /sys/devices/<ifname>/operstate file - and this file shows the interface as unknown. I am wondering why, because the interface was working fine, and i was able to use the phone as an ethernet adapter to either my wifi or my mobile data network.
Since everything works, this is more a minor issue, but i was wondering if i could be able to fix this, so that my computer properly identifies the interface as operational.
Thanks for helping.
