Greetings,
As newer laptops start lacking Ethernet ports, I started investigating
the possibility of using *USB Tethering* as a replacement, to *allow for
internet connection at boot*.
Current attempts at employing *ifconfig* to configure a Tether
connection failed to display anything meaningful.
This made me reach the conclusion that UEFI doesn't support this
protocol and as such one must somehow implement it.
Is this correct? If I were to do so, would you be so kind to give me
some pointers?
If this is also in the interest of somebody else, a contribution with a
patch like so would then be welcome?
The UsbNetwork drivers were recently added to edk2 to support this
functionality.
