Re: [Gumstix-users] usbnet - Noob Question

[manixon <ma...@ho...>]

I've made some progress:

	1)	I went back and modified the /etc/conf.d/net file to include
a reference to usb0 and set a static IP address to 192.168.0.49 on the
gentoo host.

	2)	I added the symbolic link from usb0 to eth0
	3)	Then I updated the run level to start the usb0 interface
upon boot.

These actions seemed to start the usb0 interface and created a persistent
module start.  This may be basic linux networking but took me hours of
experimentation to get to work on Gentoo.

On the gumstix, I set the address to 192.168.0.50 with the ifconfig command.
Now my issue is "How do I write that command so that it will start with this
static IP address?"  I can't seem to find an editor (nano?) on the gumstix
and I am just now starting to delve into the filessystem that is loaded on
the gumstix.  Can I assume that this can be changed on the host and it will
then be incorporated into the gumstix file image?

What does the console/syslog/dmesg output say?
