    On antiX 17 (Debian 9), Android USB tethering worked using ceni, as you can see in this thread:
    http://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/usb-tethering-with-android-smartphone/

    All seems to indicate that it should also work on antiX 19.

    As an experiment, I decided to try it out myself on a live USB (no changes, kernel 4.9.212) antiX 19.2.1 base x64.
    0. Boot into my antiX 19.2.1 base live USB from my laptop.
    1. I made sure connman was running (you should see a corresponding icon in the systemtray). If it isn’t active, Launch it from the COntrol Centre or from App Select (search for connman). Make sure it is running.
    2. I connected my phone (Android 9 phone) using a USB cable to the laptop running antiX 19.2.1 base.
    3. On my mobile device, I activated “share my connection through USB” (in my language; it probably means “USB Tethering”) in the corresponding section found in “Settings”.
    4. After activating it, suddenly my system has internet connection! Success without expecting it at all!

    Please explain what steps you followed, what antiX edition are you running, and what errors poped up.
