I've been following the instructions at
<http://www.linux-usb.org/USB-guide/x555.html> to set up a two-machine
USB network with a Linux box at one end.
The command
ifconfig plusb0 192.168.0.1 pointopoint 192.168.0.2
fails with the error message
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
plusb0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
SIOCSIFDSTADDR: No such device
plusb0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
Afterwards,
ping 192.168.0.2
gets no response (i.e. 100% packet loss.) Any ideas how to fic this, please?
plusb is loaded as a kernel module. The kernel version is 2.2.20.
The cable between the two machines is a Vivanco "USB Network Cable,"
part number 10758. It shows up in usbview as

At the far end is a Windows 2000 machine, configured to have IP
address 192.168.0.2, and Default gateway 192.168.0.1.
When the Linux box is rebooted into Windows 98, the USB LAN works,
i.e. I can share files across it using Network Neighborhood/My Network
Places.
