usb tethering not working with a particular device

Post by lakki »

My samsung galaxy m12 is not getting usb tethered(for sharing phone's internet) with linux mint(20.1) .
I checked with another device (samsung galaxy m31) and that is working fine also these devices are getting connected easily when booted to windows.
kindly suggest if I can try something that could possibly help.

How to share Internet on a Samsung Galaxy M12. Fortunately if you have a SIM card with data rate on your Samsung Galaxy M12 you can share Wi-Fi and surf the Internet from another device by following the steps below. Estimated time: 10 minutes.


Linux Mint 21 Vanessa, MATE 1.26.0, kernel 5.15.0*, Dell 2-in-1
AMD Ryzen 7 5825U / Barcelo iGPU - 14" WUXGA Touchscreen
MediaTek MT7921 WiFi-6 BT-5.2; 32GB DDR4@3200MHz; XPG 2TB-NVMe
