I downloaded the newest image
(bone-debian-8.4-lxqt-4gb-armhf-2016-05-13-4gb) and I am now trying to
configure the eth0 to be able to use the BBB on our network.
I can connect to it over USB link.
I changed the /etc/network/interfaces file to the content shown below, but
after reboot the BBB gets address 169.254.129.50 (an address assigned after
failed DHCP assignment attempt?)
After some searching, I have the impression that this is because the usb0
link uses dhcp, and the BBB is also using this on eth0, although I tell it
to use 'static' in the interfaces file.
If I restart the eth0 link using 'ifdown eth0' and 'ifup eth0' then it does
get the right ip address, and I can ssh to it over the eth0 interface. But
this is not really a good solution, and I have the impression that some
other network settings, (dns, ...) are still misconfigured.
I tried deleting the usb0 link from /etc/interfaces, and disabling the
/opt/scripts/boot/autoconfigure_usb0.sh script, but that didn't help either.
Is there any way I can force it to use a static IP address on eth0?
Thanks for any help
