I posted something yesterday but it seems to have vanished. I've run into this difficult before where none of the instructions or tutorials for getting internet connectivity via ethernet over USB work. Someone MUST have solved this. I'm running Debian Stretch/testing on my laptop. As far as the network manager goes, I don't think it's much different than Jessie (although I could be wrong). Here's specifically what I'm trying to do...
I have a laptop with a WiFi connection I have a BeagleBone Black connected via USB. I can ssh into the BBB no problem. What I can't do (which I'd like to be able to do) is to access the internet using my laptop's connection. I've tried this: _________________________________________________________ 1. SSH to the BBB: ssh debian@192.168.7.1 2. In the BBB console type the following: sudo ifconfig usb0 192.168.7.2 sudo route add default gw 192.168.7.1 3. In the linux console of host system (Ubuntu) type: sudo su #wlan0 is my internet facing interface, eth1 is the BeagleBone USB connection ifconfig eth1 192.168.7.1 iptables --table nat --append POSTROUTING --out-interface wlan0 -j MASQUERADE iptables --append FORWARD --in-interface eth1 -j ACCEPT echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward 4. Set the DNS server address in the BBB console: echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" >> /etc/resolv.conf _________________________________________________________ It doesn't work. I've tried this (creating a bridge): http://ask.xmodulo.com/configure-linux-bridge-network-manager-ubuntu.html ... and that didn't work either. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
