Software Updates Can Break Mac-to-cellphone Tethering

 According to MacFixIt, firmware/software updates from Apple may just play havoc with your tethered Internet connection as your mobile phone may lose its ability to host connections from a Mac.
MacFixIt reader J.E. de Sequera who experienced a similar problem writes:
"I had a Motorola Razr which had to be replaced when it got damaged. The new Razrs will not work as tethered modems. [...] Verizon replaced my Razr with a Krzr (K1M) and guess what? It doesn't work either. On the other hand, when I plug in my wife's Krzr (K1M) it's instantly recognized by my Mac. The only difference is that her phone has older software than mine.
"I can only guess that Verizon is trying to control what you can plug into your phone and has disabled the phone's functionality as a tethered modem on a Mac. You can't even use generic auto chargers anymore, as the phone gives an error message saying it's an incompatible charger."
