Hi All,

I am unable to access internet via USB tethering from my IPhone 13.
From networkmgr I could see my phone but when pressed icon nothing
happens. Bu t when press other networks it takes me to wifi name and
password. Then I inserted if_ipheth_load=“YES” in /boot/loader.conf
and restarted but it’s the same. Cannot go into my wifi network.

Would anyone be able to help me in this matter.

Thanks & Best Regards
Schroter

To help readers put this in context:

`if_ipheth` appears in Chapter 32 of the FreeBSD Handbook:

* [32.4. USB
Tethering](https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/book/#network-
usb-tethering)

networkmgr is [net-mgmt/networkmgr](https://www.freshports.org/net-
mgmt/networkmgr/)

> … use ifconfig and netif if make all work. …

[loader.conf\(5\)](https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=loader.co
nf&sektion=5&manpath=FreeBSD)

Which version of FreeBSD, exactly?

`freebsd-version -kru ; uname -aKU`

Packages from quarterly, or latest?

`pkg -vv | grep -e url -e enabled`

Is any system update outstanding on iOS?

Tell me about it; not only does he have facts, but he has endless
cross-references, links, and documentation too.

Standing on the shoulders of giants, I guess :-)

There are people **far** more proficient than me. I observe and try to
learn, where I can. It takes time.

Thanks.

That's quarterly; and your FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE-p4 kernel (with
userland at patch level 5) is slightly outdated.

(I don't imagine a system update resolving the issue in this case,
although I know nothing about USB tethering.)
