I want add a USB ehternet adapter, and I can;t figure out the correct
steps. I have found anything really helpful yet online.
I power off the BBB, plug in the usb ethernet dongle and then power up the
BBB>
If I run dmsg |grep eth1 it shows me the following:
root@BB2:/etc/network# dmesg |grep eth1
[ 7.182673] smsc75xx 1-1.4.2:1.0 eth1: register 'smsc75xx' at
usb-musb-hdrc.1.auto-1.4.2, smsc75xx USB 2.0 Gigabit Ethernet,
00:0e:c6:89:39:7c
If run ifconfig I don't see an entry for eth1.
root@BB2:/etc/network# ifconfig

my /etc/network/interfaces looks like this:
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
#auto eth0
#iface eth0 inet dhcp
# Example to keep MAC address between reboots
#hwaddress ether DE:AD:BE:EF:CA:FE
# The secondary network interface
#auto eth1
#iface eth1 inet dhcp
# WiFi Example
#auto wlan0
#iface wlan0 inet dhcp
# wpa-ssid "essid"
# wpa-psk "password"
# Ethernet/RNDIS gadget (g_ether)
# ... or on host side, usbnet and random hwaddr
# Note on some boards, usb0 is automaticly setup with an init script
iface usb0 inet static
address 192.168.7.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.7.0
gateway 192.168.7.1
What is the correct way to configure this?
Thanks
Pat
