Asus Zenfone Max M1 Pro - USB Tethering with Android 8.1

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

I am trying to configure USB Tethering on my D-Link 505 A1 using OpenWRT 17.1.05. I could get Samsung On8 phone working properly, but couldn't get the driver loaded for Asus Zenfone Max M1 Pro. Below is the /sys/kernerl/debug/usb/devices output with Zenfone connected. As there are no Drivers associated it haven't created an interface. Tried with cdc-ether and rndis drivers but no luck. The phone works fine with WIndows 10 and it lists as Remote NDIS device.

Update:

Looks like this is known problem with Android 8.1 and Linux. Will update if there is a solution for this.

By default you will have Asus Zenfone Max M1 Pro drivers when you try to connect with PC? Didn't you get that?
