USB tether (urndis(4)) not working (self.openbsd)

Hey everyone,

I decided after many year to try again to slap OpenBSD on my old Acer Aspire one. The Wifi adapter is not supported, but I was thinking about using my phone to get network connectivity out of it. Unfortunately I'm hitting a strange behavior: ifconfig urndis0 autoconf works as expected, and I get an IP over DHCP. Ping and DNS resolution work as expected, but when I try any TCP connection, the connectivity simply stops working, and I cannot even ping the gateway anymore. dmesg doesn't say anything about it.

Has anyone encountered this already ?

I'll try the debug command for ifconfig eventually. I took the hardest path to fix this issue however as I scrapped a supported wireless card from another computer and installed it on the netbook. Now it has wifi natively hehe. Thanks for your help!
