OK I will answer my own question here at least partially. Since I do not need HDMI and I want to go headless anyhow I logged in using USB. I then went into the /etc/network/interfaces file and found that the eth0 lines were commented out. So that is why I had no Ethernet connection. I added a static IP definition and rebooted. All is well now for Ethernet login on port 22.
Why is ethernet not supported at initial boot? -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
