I believe it depends on which distribution you run. Some distributions, like Debian, use a persistent-net-generator script which will always give a particular ethernet device a consistent name in /dev whenever it is plugged in. Personally, that drives me batty; I'm a tidy person and I don't like seeing my first ethernet card be named eth7 simply because I used several other cards in the distant past. But it's good for you in this case, your Freerunner should always have the same device name. > The page http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/USB_Networking explain how to setup > nat and routing, but all the examples use usb0.

It would be nice to have a single example on the wiki which people can use without editing. I don't have the answer to that one, but I'd love to see it if someone else does. --Ben P.S. If you're using Debian, you can check the file /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules to see the mappings between the MAC address and device name. I believe OpenMoko devices always have a MAC address that starts with 00:1F:11 _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
