Thanks! Running netcfg worked...that totally slipped my mind. Is there a way to automate this mapping besides having a service daemon script running looking for device to connect? Busybox is currently installed on the phone which includes mdev. mdev doesn't handle any of the device initialization since if I run "mdev -s" the phone will reboot. How does the Android kernel handle new device connections and how would I be able to have this USB ethernet device be automatically registered as a network interface?
