I'm trying to USB tether an Android phone (SGS2 LTE) to 12.04 to use its Internet connection. Enabling "USB tethering" on the phone brings up a "wired connection 2" on the network connections menu.
I can receive/send email in Thunderbird.
If I try to use Internet it gets to "waiting for www....." but never loads the site.
ifconfig shows:
