[SOLVED] No more usb0 pseudo device with Android USB tethering

Hi,

my phone is a Galaxy J5 with model code SM-J500FN running rooted  Android 6.0.1

- tested tethering on my laptop (ubuntu) : work as a charm
- tested on my archlinux, PC ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC H170M-PLUS, no more usb0 device
- uname -a

Linux freakylab 4.14.13-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Jan 15 21:17:15 CET 2018 x86_64 GNU/Linux

(compiled my own kernel to be able to use a usb to serial (module usbserial not loadable by default) adapter pl203, started my config from /proc/config.gz from arch kernel)
- lsusb (recognised as tethering mode + usb debug ON)

...
Bus 001 Device 046: ID 04e8:6864 Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd GT-I9070 (network tethering, USB debugging enabled)
...

- journalctl -xf when plugging and turning on tethering on the phone :

Re: [SOLVED] No more usb0 pseudo device with Android USB tethering

OK, removing linux from excluded packages from pacman.conf and done a pacman -Syu resolve the problem

And usbserial become available
