Re: Connect wifi from Android tethering, but internet does not work

Are you doing USB tethering or Wi-Fi access point? I'll guess access point because you say "the wifi connects". If so, sometimes the phone needs to have WiFi off (i.e. it only works as an access point if you are on data), have you tried this?

Also, what is the output of 'ip addr' and 'ip route'? Does anything relevant show up in your journalctl(1)? What are you using for WiFi on your main computer?  If you have an IP address, can you ping(1) anything in the internet? How about your local router?

I checked in the journalctl and find out it was because I was using the open source b43 drive which is not fully supported, I installed the proprietary drive broadcom-wl-dkms and everything went well.

thanks.
