[PLUG] [OT ? ?? ???] Linux and computer literacy

[Chuck Hast]

You know, I had this running with one of my cell phones and not
intentionally,
I would plug the thing into one of my laptops and it would setup the usual
connection to move files around, BUT it would also setup a network
connection,
trying to use the cellular as another network path out (as if the Ethernet
and
WiFi connections did not count) It was such a PITA that one day I got tired
of
having to go in and kill it so I went in and killed it for good.

But if you did an ifconfig you saw a network connection with assigned IP
addys
and all. I will see if I can get it to do so again, and try to see if I can
get you
the info on what it did.

I did NOTHING to the system it did it all, the phone was and AT&T Android
phone, a Galaxy S5 rugged.
