Comment on How to configure an Ethernet connection between iPad and RaspberryPi with USB-Cparent

Comments

Android apparently (AFAIK, still) uses a poorly crafted regex to identify ethernet adapters, so most usb ethernet adapters don't work on Android, despite having drivers, etc.

I thought this was because Google don't build the kernel with many USB ethernet drivers?

CyanogenMod used to (I assume LineageOS still does). I recall being able to use a USB ethernet adaptor on my phone with CM because of this.

I haven't tested this in a long time. Perhaps I should!
