FYI: On my kubuntu (ubuntu with KDE installed by default) using the KDE NetworkManager I followed the advices on http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/USB_Networking#Debian.2C_Ubuntu_and_others
but insereted "auto usb0" into /etc/network/interfaces as suggested by arne. It looks now like that: auto lo iface lo inet loopback # freerunner auto usb0 allow-hotplug usb0 iface usb0 inet static address 192.168.0.200 netmask 255.255.255.192 post-up /etc/network/freerunner start pre-down /etc/network/freerunner stop After a reboot (NetworkManager did not want to play well i.e. did not adopt to the changes) I get "Device usb0: unmanaged" and everything works as expected: My FR get's configured by /etc/network/freerunner and my (W)LAN-connections a correctly handled by NetworkManager. I guess this solution solves the issue for Ubuntu and all it's derivates too. Probably for all KDE-Installations as it seems that the key is to make the NetworkManager ignore the usb0-Interface.
