Note about Samsung #78

If you are using Samsung S8, S8+ or S8 Note, ensure SideSync is uninstalled from your Mac as this will cause the network interface in Network Settings to show incorrectly (e.g., Samsung Modem) and USB tethering will not work. I attempted to push this as a commit to README.md, but alas, I do not have access. Perhaps someone that can should update the readme with this "gotcha".

Thank you very much for this. After hours of trying to find why it wasn't working this was my answer. Thank you very much

@POSTMAN Was just heading over to make this comment. Also, if you have SmartSwitch installed, make sure you go to Applications and choose "Uninstall SmartSwitch", ensure that you check the box that says "Remove drivers".

Basically, if you go into System Preferences -> Network and see "Samsung Modem" rather than "Samsung Android", you have some variance of Samsung drivers installed that you need to get rid of. Horndis will not work if it says "Samsung Modem" in System Preferences.
