Tethering Android and BeagleBone Black Ubuntu 14.04 that actually works

You can find details here

This is what I ended up doing to make it work for me:


On the Android Phone: Settings -> More Networks -> Tethering -> USB Tethering (Checked ON)


On Beaglebone Black:



  1. Boot BBB
  2. Set Tethering ON in Android


  • via ssh to BBB
    • modprobe g_ether;
    • ip link set usb0 up && dhcpcd usb0;
OTHER RANDOM NOTES NOT REALLY REQUIRED

  • sudo su
  • apt-get install traceroute iptables 
  • ifconfig usb0 up
  • modprobe g_ether
  • echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
  • iptables -t nat -F
  • iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADE
  • dhcpcd usb0
  • ip link set usb0 up && dhcpcd usb0
  • ifconfig usb0 (check to see if you got a valid ip set now)
  • ping www.google.com (test that dns and routing it working
  • traceroute www.google.com (make sure we're actually using USB0 and not ETH0)
