Hi everyone, I'm new on the forum and decided to register since I couldn't 
find an answer to my problem.

I have a BBB (rev A6A) which shipped with Ångström, with this it worked 
perfectly to ssh over USB with ip 192.168.7.2

I decided to switch to Debian Wheezy, and I now have 7.6 with kernel 
"3.8.13-bone30" and simply connecting the beaglebone USB cable that came 
with it to my computer (windows 8) does not result in anything, it does not 
even show up as a device of some sort. I googled around and managed to come 
a little closer to a solution, but I am now stuck. Here is what I can do:

I work my way to /lib/modules/3.8.13-bone30/kernel/drivers/usb/gadget and 
there I can "modprobe g_ether", which makes my windows computer recognize 
the beaglebone as a linux modem/router (something similar) and it shows up 
in device manager. I then follow the guide from here 
http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardBeginners 
(section "Connect with your beagleboard using VNC and ethernet over USB"), 
I managed to "ifconfig usb0" and give it an ipadress and it even says that 
it is sending and receiving packages, but I cannot ssh into it using the 
ipaddress that "ifconfig usb0" mentions. It feels like I am missing 
something vital. What do I need to do to be able to ssh over USB with 
debian wheezy in the same fashion as I did when i used Ångström?

TLDR; ssh over usb worked with ångström, switched to Debian wheezy 7.6 and 
this no longer works (windows 8 does not recognize the BBB automatically 
and BBB does not want to load the correct usb-drivers). What to do in order 
to ssh over USB??

Thanks in advance!
