Hello Alexander, El día martes, noviembre 14, 2023 a las 06:40:17p. m. +0100, Alexander Burke escribió: > When tethering a laptop to a mobile phone, the phone is generally the DHCP > server and the laptop is the DHCP client. On the Purism L5 there is no DHCP server installed or running. The NM is initiating DHCP requests on usb0 when carrier is seen. I will discuss this topic in the Purism community later the day, see here https://forums.puri.sm/t/usb-tethering-freebsd-laptop-with-l5/21819 Meanwhile I installed and configured a DHCP server in the FreeBSD laptop and when I restart this after plugin the cable (which should be done via a devd configuration) the L5 gets an IP by DHCP request and all is fine > Is there a specific reason you want to run it the other way around, or have > I misunderstood something? My primary goal is to have access by SSH from the laptop *into* the mobile L5 (and not through the mobile to Internet) to read/write in the mobile my email (with MUA mutt with imap/smpt). It's just enough when IP between both comes up on plugin of the cable, whichever runs the DHCP server.
