Hello folks, In response to my attempts to USB tether a Verizon MiFi jetpack to the Nano (TL;DR - it won't work): I have switched to the Verizon Jetpack AC791L (https://www.verizonwireless.com/internet-devices/verizon-jetpack-4g-lte-mobile-hotspot-ac791l/) instead, which does not work out of the box but can be fixed pretty easily: First off, make sure when you connect the device you enable USB Tethering through the on-screen prompt. Then you should see: root@Pineapple:~# lsusb Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0846:68e1 NetGear, Inc. Bus 001 Device 004: ID 05e3:0745 Genesys Logic, Inc.

In /etc/config/network add: config interface 'jetpack' option ifname 'eth1' option proto 'dhcp' option dns '8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4' Restart, and you should be good to go ?.
