PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a host/peripheral local interconnect that is compatible with a self-configurable peripheral device. SOLUTION: The host device may be kept aware of the self-configured state of the peripheral device, and/or self-configured changes made at the peripheral device. The host device may scale its applications/uses of the peripheral device in light of such awareness. The peripheral device and the host device are not mechanically integrated but locally interconnected through point-to-point connection. The host queries the peripheral device with respect to configuration, receives a suggested configuration from the peripheral device, receives link-state information specifying that the peripheral device is connected to a network supporting tethering, and activates a tethering interface for enabling the host to be tethered through the peripheral device.
