Yes, you're sure. As long as you don't touch udev. It's the same as with pci ethernet boards. Once you plugged it in, you'll have a persintent name for it no matter what unless you erase/alter your udev configuration. > The page http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/USB_Networking explain how to > setup nat and routing, but all the examples use usb0.

You just substitute the interface assigned to freerunner instead of usb0 in all the examples, i can't see a problem. -- Be free, use free (http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) software! mailto:[email protected] _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
