Hi, I have a problem with some kind of a lokal net connection (ethernet over USB):
Current handling is as follows: I boot my Gentoo-Linux PC, which connects to my Fritz!Box, collect EMail etc...works fine so far. Then I connect an embedded system (Arietta G25 www.acmesystems.it/arietta) to the usb port and wait until this little thing has booted. On my Linux PC I do the following then (as root): ifconfig usb0 192.168.10.1 up echo 1 >! /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward iptables -A FORWARD -i eth1 -j ACCEPT modprobe ip_tables modprobe ip_conntrack iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -j MASQUERADE ssh -t root@ariettaa abduco -A root (I real life I have two Ariettas which I connect to the PC the same time with two different IP-addresses and two different USB-ports) This connects me finally to the Arietta, which do ethernet over USB. I put the commands into a script, so not too much hassle here. But! On the Arietta I also installed Gentoo. An update, especially when it includes gcc can take up to three days (I tried crosscompilation and some other construction and I am currently most happiest (sounds a litte too much like 'german english'...;) with this). So I first fetch all needed files and then restart the update and detach from the terminal. Now the problem: When I shutdown the PC, which needs not to run all the time, and restart it later again I am no longer able to connect to the Arietta with the steps described above. All needed modules are loaded while booting the PC and ifplugd is installed on the Arietta. Unfortunately I have not found any differences of the USB interface, which would make it possible to handle the Ariettas via udev. How can I make a reconnect after rebooting my PC possible every time? Thank you very much in advance for any help! Best regards, Meino
