How to establish a USB tether to a phone

[jc1685]

I had a similar problem last week. Once I finally installed the correct USB driver, usb0 showed up when I went to add a device in Luci. You can see my thread here, it includes a command which gave me a hint to the driver I needed:

USB Tethering with GL-AR750S-Ext

I’ve recently installed vanilla OpenWRT on my GL-AR750S-Ext and want to enable USB tethering so I retain the ability that exists in the original GL firmware. I’ve followed the directions from here: https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wan/smartphone.usb.tethering However, nothing that has been installed adds a usb driver that I can use for tethering. Does anyone have experience with this hardware and tethering? Thanks.
