Android USB tethering not working

[vinod.pn]

I'm not able to ping any IP from ue0 interface, but I'm able to ping just the IP of my phone. Any help on this is much appreciated.

Setup details:
FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE
phone: Moto Z play and Vivo Pro 7

What I have done:

• I have loaded if_urndis kernel module
• ran dhclient ue0
• ran ifconfig ue0 up

Some details from commands:

You should provide the output of netstat -rn.

• ran dhclient ue0
• ran ifconfig ue0 up

• # ifconfig
  re0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
  options=8209b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,WOL_MAGIC,LINKSTATE>

Where does that IP come from? Does your android have a dhcp server? Mine does not.

Also, did you change the default route to the IP of your android?

Thanks for telling this, i saw that default route was still pointing to my other ehernet interface which i had turned down. I added the default route on my freebsd to my phone's IP , now i have internet connectivity over USB tether. Thanks.

I added the route and now its all good. Thanks.
btw, re0 interface is my ethernet interface and not the USB tethered one.
