Hi All,
Long time reader first time poster
I am looking at setting up a 4G USB tethered Samsung Android phone to my ClearOS 6 server as our primary ADSL link will be going down but we still require internet access
After running
But the device doesn't show in the Multi-WAN setup page
Does the ClearOS webconfig only detect ppp* or eth* devices?
Is this a feature available in ClearOS 7?
I have tested using this within IPFire successfully but would prefer to keep using ClearOS
Thank you in advance for your help, and let me know if you require further information

Hi All,
Thank you very much for your suggestions
I tinkered for a while but was unable to get the tethered device to show in the udev file
In the end I tested on a space machine with ClearOS 7 and it worked flawlessly
I will schedule a new ClearOS build for later tonight and test in a production environment
Thank you again -

The webconfig accept all sorts of device names for the newer namings in ClearOS7 which are also available in ClearOS 6 but not used by default. I would doubt if there is a selector on names like that, but something cute must be done not to pick up lo and tun interfaces.
Somehow you need to check if the device drivers are being loaded. I've found this, if it helps. If everything is being loaded, you may need to create a /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-usb0 file which you can base on another /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX file.
I can't help any more as I'm going away for a week. -

You should be able to rename it to the ethx of your choice according to these and similar web pages. Do a search :-

I should also note that the device is also recognised when I runifconfig -a
Output (usb0 only shown):
