Re: USB tethering not working after updating to latest kernel

its also present in 6.14.5-arch1-1 i updated it a few days ago basically my laptop have crappy wifi have a very small range i rely on usb tethring from my phone it has made me absolutely mad  though i did  something unintentially wrong .

now i understand why people use lts kernels it gives new features then it also gives unironed bugs some times enough to make you switch .
but
i cant switch so easily i have been using this install for more than 3 years now i have so much data and no other backup hard drive what to do will it get fixed or will it take time.

Re: USB tethering not working after updating to latest kernel

This behavior was backported into the LTS and every other kernel, otherwise you could just install and use the lts kernel in parallel.
As gromit pointed out, the patch got reverted for 6.14.6 and for all we know this only affects networkmanager anyway so even if you didn't want to downgrade to an unaffected kernel, you could simply use not networkmanager for your network connection.

Re: USB tethering not working after updating to latest kernel

Hello everyone, this issue should be fixed in the following kernel:

sudo pacman -U https://pkgbuild.com/\~gromit/linux-bisection-kernels/linux-6.14.6rc1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

Not if that installs/updated the "linux" package.
