1 Hi,
2
3 the little Linux board Arietta G25 has a ethernet over usb feature --
4 no real PHY, no RJ45 plug/jack.
5
6 The board is not permanently connected to my PC.
7 Both are running Gentoo.
8
9 When I connect the Arietta board to my PC via USB
10 its boots up...and get no connection to my PC, since
11 I have to do a
12
13 ifconfig usb0 <IP-addr>
14
15 to fire up usb0.
16
17 Thats far too late for things like ntp_client, dhcp etc,
18 while already have timed out.
19
20 What is the correct way to automated this: Fire up
21 the usb0 interface in that moment a device is recognized
22 to have a ethernet over usb interface?
23
24 Thank you very much in advance for any help!
25
26 Best regards,
27 Meino
