You might consider using your friend's iPhone as a personal hotspot, and see if that makes a difference. I just used my Phone as a personal hotspot, and, on a brief test, ICMP, mail and HTTPS all worked just fine. Buster, iOS 14.2. -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/Personal hotspot over wifi works for me on Debian 10.6 and iOS 14.2, however USB-tethering does not. The issue is discussed here and a fix proposed, and according to which it is a Linux problem (or at least not affecting Windows 10) https://github.com/libimobiledevice/libimobiledevice/issues/1038
Meanwhile, did there arrive a solution to this problem to Debian/bullseye? If so, for applying it, is there for some reason still more to do than keeping my system updated?
And in order to exclude other sources of failure in general, regarding the network via USB cable connection of Debian/bullseye to an iPhone provided hotspot, could someone summarize which packages I need to have installed as the minimum (things like drivers, muxd, fuse, or alike....) in order to properly being prepared to possibly achieve this connection?
I am warming up this thread because my problem might somehow be related to this thread? I on my system suffer that connecting to my iPhone hotspot is only possible after I reboot the iPhone and Debian. It then reconnects without the need to newly provide passwords. But if I pull the cable and later want to connect it again, then the two devices fail to reestablish the tethering connection. This bothers me for more than half a year now (maybe already a year?). Unfortunately, in the last few days, even established connections without pulling the cable sometimes spontaneously get lost - and another reboot of both devices is needed.
Thanks for your attention! Marco.
