I haven't tried those steps yet, but what I have tried is systemctl stop networking which causes all intefaces but usb0 to disappear (which is fortunate, since I need that!). In particular, it removes eth0 and lo0. If I then run systemctl start networking, the other interfaces come back. My interpretation is that even if there was race condition during boot that might prevent enxe46f13f3df43 being detected on first boot, by the time it starts the second time, it should be there. The command I am using to bring up the interface is ifup, which does consult the /etc/network/interfaces file. It isn't clear to me why a manually invoked ifup works, but a systemctl start networking doesn't, even after the system has been booted for a while. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
