The FTDI drivers aren't compatible with Yosemite due to the requirement to sign the drivers. I tried to update these at http://beagleboard.org/getting-started to a version that is signed. Of course, you don't need the FDTI drivers for the ssh.
For the Ethernet, you might make sure you have version 6 of HoRNDIS. Depends how long ago your board was flashed, but the latest is on that same getting-started page I just shared and at http://joshuawise.com/horndis#available_versions. I've seen times when I needed to go manually add the adapter (shows up when you hit the + to add a network device), but if the cable detection is there, that isn't likely the issue. You should still be able to log into your board via the command-line and 'screen'. Use something like 'screen /dev/tty.usbmodemfd113 115200'. I don't know how OSX determines the numbers. I just try one until it is the right one. It'll immediately come back with a screen like: Debian GNU/Linux 7 beaglebone ttyGS0 BeagleBoard.org Debian Image 2015-01-19 Support/FAQ: http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack_Debian default username:password is [debian:temppwd] The IP Address for usb0 is: 192.168.7.2 beaglebone login: Once you are there, you can login as 'root' (no password) and collect a 'dmesg' log that might be somewhat informative. The server responsible for giving an IP address to your Mac is called 'udhcpd'. I made sure my was running: root@beaglebone:~# ps auwx | grep udhcp root 1029 0.0 0.1 1752 556 ? Ss Jan19 0:00 /usr/sbin/udhcpd -S /etc/udhcpd.conf root 18402 0.0 0.1 3100 708 ttyGS0 S+ 20:10 0:00 grep udhcp Let us know if you can get logged in, what extra information you can collect and we'll go from there.
