This is a very quick video on how you can tell your Linux machine to detect Android phones which share their network via USB as this function has been disabled by kernel maintainers a while back.

The kernel module that needs to be loaded for this to work is called: rndis_host

In the terminal, you can enable this on the fly by typing the following:
sudo modprobe rndis_host

If you wish to make this permanent (not shown in the video), create the file /etc/modprobe.d/rndis_host with only rndis_host as its contents.
