Wait, isn't RNDIS what's used when you tether your Android's connection via USB? Or am I mistaking it for something else?
Yes, with the exception of some that switched to USB CDC NCM already. I seem to be lucky, the Pixel 6 is one of the first to have made the switch.
So if my mint install updates I won't be able to use USB tethering? Is there a way to update my phone to use USB CDC NCM? Or would I have better luck recompiling my mint install to add the standard they just removed? I'm pretty new to Linux (literally made the switch last November) and I sadly have to use USB tethering when my ISP shits the bed with routing to the US
It should be possible to switch to NCM by just flip a switch fron 0 (RNDIS) to 1 (NCM) via RRO (Runtime Resource Overlay), but adding new overlay require you have right to modify system image.
